Chemists prefer to describe reactions in terms of the properties of isolated systems, chosen
to yield information on the behavior of a given reactant under perturbation by another …

This review addresses the most relevant aspects of vibrational spectroscopies (IR, Raman
and INS) applied to zeolites and zeotype materials. Surface Brønsted and Lewis acidity and …

The exponential increase in computational processor speed, the development of novel
computational architectures, together with the tremendous advances in ab initio theoretical …

Zeolites occur in nature and have been known for almost 250 years as alumino silicate
minerals. Examples are clinoptilolite, mordenite, offretite, ferrierite, erionite and chabazite …

The chemistry of superacids has developed in the last two decades into a field of growing
interest and importance. Now available in a new expanded second edition, this definitive …

The unique environment of the Brpnstedacidic protons in the micropores of zeolites controls
the overall catalytic behavior of zeolites to a significant extent. One of the most obvious …

The catalytic sites of acidic zeolite are profoundly altered by the presence of water changing
the nature of the Brønsted acid site. High-resolution solid-state NMR spectroscopy shows …

The precise atomic architecture of the catalytically active center is the central topic of the
approach presented herein to the design of solid‐state catalysts. A wide range of new …

Understanding methane activation pathways on Zn-modified high-silica zeolites (ZSM-5,
BEA) is of particular importance because of the possibility of methane involvement in …

Proton-energy differences, ammonia adsorption, and D/H-exchange barriers for methane at
selected isolated Brønsted sites in zeolites FAU, MFI, BEA, ERI, and CHA are studied by …
