Molecular simulations of zeolites: adsorption, diffusion, and shape selectivity

B Smit, TLM Maesen - Chemical reviews, 2008 - ACS Publications
Zeolites are intriguing materials. The basic building blocks are corner sharing TO4 units,
where the T-atoms usually refer to Si, Al, or in some cases also P. These tetrahedrals can …

Towards a molecular understanding of shape selectivity

B Smit, TLM Maesen - Nature, 2008 - nature.com
Shape selectivity is a simple concept: the transformation of reactants into products depends
on how the processed molecules fit the active site of the catalyst. Nature makes abundant …

A route to drastic increase of CO 2 uptake in Zr metal organic framework UiO-66

CH Lau, R Babarao, MR Hill - Chemical Communications, 2013 - pubs.rsc.org
CO2 uptake in zirconium MOF UiO-66 almost doubles with post-synthetic exchange of Zr by
Ti. This was due to smaller pore size and higher adsorption enthalpy, with good …
