Controlling the location of acid sites in zeolites can have a great effect on catalysis. In this work we face objective directing Al into 10R channels ZSM-5 by taking advantage structural preference B to occupy certain positions at channel intersections, as suggested theoretical calculations. The synthesis B-Al-ZSM-5 with variable Si/Al and Si/B ratios, followed removal postsynthesis treatment, produces samples enriched occupying channels. is determined basis product distribution 1-hexene...
ITQ-7 is a tri-dimensional twelve-membered ring zeolite which presents double four-membered units (D4MR) in its structure. On the basis of theoretical ab initio calculations, indicate that isomorphic substitution Ge for Si atoms stabilizes such small cages, we have carried out synthesis presence Ge.

This hybrid material catalyzes efficiently, even more importantly from an economic environmental viewpoint, at low temperature (25 to 140 °C), energetically costly industrial reactions in...
Ge-directed zeolites. Forcefield atomic simulations are used to investigate the location of Ge atoms and structure-directing agents (SDAs) in containing ITQ-17 zeolite (see picture).

The presence Cu as well Brønsted acid sites enhances rate over that metal-free sample (which produces mainly acetic acid) by preferential adsorption CO dimethyl ether leads methyl acetate.
Group 15 elements in zero oxidation state (P, As, Sb and Bi), also called pnictogens, are rarely used catalysis due to the difficulties associated preparing well-structured stable materials. Here, we report on synthesis of highly exfoliated, few layer 2D phosphorene antimonene state, suspended an ionic liquid, with native atoms ready interact external reagents while avoiding aerobic or aqueous decomposition pathways, their use as efficient catalysts for alkylation nucleophiles esters.

Supramolecular coordination compounds (SCCs) represent the power of chemistry methodologies to self-assemble discrete architectures with targeted properties. SCCs are generally synthesized in solution, isolated fully coordinated metal atoms as structural nodes, thus severely limited metal-based catalysts. Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) show unique features act chemical nanoreactors for situ synthesis and stabilization otherwise not accessible functional species. Here, we present...

K and Sn contents were rationalized during the synthesis of PtSn@K-MFI to maximize metal dispersion stability along MFI crystallites. Experimental results theoretical calculations reveal a stoichiometry ∼1 per unit cell MFI, limiting then final incorporation within siliceous crystals at ∼0.7 wt %.

Nuclear magnetic resonance investigation on Ge-containing ITQ-13 zeolites synthesized by the fluoride route indicates that Ge is preferentially incorporated at double four-membered rings (D4R) cages.
