Transformations in metal coordination environments
Research gap analysis derived from 3 chemistry papers in our local library.
The gap
Abstract Transformations in metal coordination environments, particularly their impact on spin-state transitions, remain underexplored in peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs).
Evidence profile
Sourced from the abstract of the source papers, classified as general, drawn from work published between 2023 and 2026, spanning 3 journals. Those papers have been cited 326 times in total.

The studies on the origin of versatile oxidation pathways toward targeted pollutants in the single-atom catalysts (SACs)/peroxymonosulfate (PMS) systems were always associated with the coordination structures rather than the perspective of pollutant characteristics, and the analysis of mechanism commonality is lacking.

However, SACs with a coordination number higher than four are rarely explored, which represents a fundamental missed opportunity for coordination chemistry to boost PMS activation and degradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants.
