The ability to tune the selectivity of a catalytic process offers several advantages:
1. Enhanced Product Yield: By directing the reaction towards the desired product, the efficiency of the process can be significantly increased. 2. Reduced Waste: Minimizing by-products helps in reducing waste and the need for extensive purification steps. 3. Cost-effectiveness: Improved selectivity can reduce the costs associated with raw materials and downstream processing. 4. Environmental Impact: Selective processes can lead to more sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing practices.
