This short review summarizes some of the most recently published results concerning the
applications of microcalorimetry to the study of the acid/base sites of zeolites, pillared clays …

We present a perspective on the computational determination of entropy and its effects and
consequences on heterogeneous catalysis. Special attention is paid to the role of …

As microporous materials, zeolites entrap molecules allowing their diffusion, adsorption and
reaction within the channel system. This confinement affects the physico-chemistry of such …

MCM-22, MCM-56 and ITQ-2 zeolites, have been characterized by different physicochemical
techniques (XRD, 29Si MAS NMR, IR, adsorption, and catalytic test), and they show that the …

Aqueous-phase sugar isomerization is catalyzed at lower turnover rates when Lewis acid
active sites are confined within high-defect zeolite micropores, because intraporous silanol …

Recently, the seed-assisted methods have provided a new route for the organic structure-
directing agent (OSDA)-free synthesis of industrially useful zeolites under environmentally …

The pore topology of a recently synthesized zeolite IM-5 has been determined by means of
catalytic test reactions, ie, n-decane hydroisomerization–cracking, m-xylene isomerization …

Ultrafine sub-3 nm Rh nanoclusters confined within a metal–organic framework (UIO-66)
were constructed through a double-solvent host–guest strategy and achieved superior …

Adsorption–desorption isotherms of aromatic (mesitylene and toluene) and aliphatic
(methylcyclohexane, neopentane and n-pentane) hydrocarbons were measured on ordered …

The separation of xylenes is one of the most important processes in the petrochemical
industry. In this article, the competitive adsorption from a fluid-phase mixture of xylenes in …
