The future of ligand design in catalysis is likely to be driven by advances in:
Computational Chemistry: Using machine learning and artificial intelligence to predict and design new ligands. Sustainable Catalysis: Developing ligands that are more environmentally friendly and derived from renewable sources. Biocatalysis: Designing ligands that can work with enzymes or other biological catalysts. Multifunctional Ligands: Creating ligands that can perform multiple roles in a catalytic process.
