Organometallic catalysts for lignin depolymerization
Advancing towards sustainable, carbon-neutral biorefineries has risen as a central ambition in modern scientific and engineering efforts. With petroleum resources becoming increasingly scarce, biomass-derived carbon as an alternative for producing fuels and industrial chemicals has emerged. Among underused biomaterials, lignin stands out—yet its complex, crosslinked, and irregular polymeric structure has made it resistant to conventional chemical processing. Recent advances in the depolymerization of lignin catalyzed by organometallic complexes have attracted renewed interest owing to their high catalytic efficiency. This review aims at illustrating catalytic lignin monomer, lignin dimer model compounds and lignin feedstocks catalyzed by organometallic complexes and gives a concise account of achievements in the field with the aim of transforming lignin into high-value products. Proposals for the mechanism of these reactions are provided to further exemplify the processes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Organometallic Chemistry targets original papers dealing with theoretical aspects, structural chemistry, synthesis, physical and chemical properties (including reaction mechanisms), and practical applications of organometallic compounds.
Organometallic compounds are defined as compounds that contain metal - carbon bonds. The term metal includes all alkali and alkaline earth metals, all transition metals and the lanthanides and actinides in the Periodic Table. Metalloids including the elements in Group 13 and the heavier members of the Groups 14 - 16 are also included. The term chemistry includes syntheses, characterizations and reaction chemistry of all such compounds. Research reports based on use of organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry, medicine, material sciences, homogeneous catalysis and energy conversion are also welcome.
The scope of the journal has been enlarged to encompass important research on organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry and material sciences, and of heavier main group elements in organometallic chemistry. The journal also publishes review articles, short communications and notes.
