Description
Sustainable chemistry is increasingly relevant as the need to create viable alternatives for sustainable and less environmentally costly reactions has become evident. More abundant metals are seeing increasing usage in catalysts in energy industries such as converting natural gas into methanol and production of isopropanol from acetone. In this work, alternative catalysts using more environmentally sustainable metals are produced and tested. Further research is needed to confirm the efficacy of these complexes for their respective functions.
