The Brønsted acidity of proton-exchanged zeolites has historically led to the most impactful
applications of these materials in heterogeneous catalysis, mainly in the fields of …

The selective transformation of light alkanes to aromatics that are more valuable and
versatile feedstocks for the chemical industry is one of the major challenges of catalytic …

The ability of molecular sieves to control the access and egress of certain reactants and
products and to preferentially contain certain transition states while excluding others based …

The disruption of ordered water molecules confined within hydrophobic reaction pockets
alters the energetics of adsorption and catalysis, but a mechanistic understanding of how …

The location of Brønsted acid sites within zeolite channels strongly influences reactivity
because of the extent to which spatial constraints determine the stability of reactants and of …

Acidic zeolites are indispensable catalysts in the petrochemical industry because they select
reactants and their chemical pathways based on size and shape. Voids of molecular …

With a proper understanding of the nature of solid acidity, zeolites and other solid acids have
