Experimental study demonstrates enhanced catalytic activity for bulky organic reactions using tailored nanocrystalline zeolites, highlighting improved pathways for fine chemical synthesis.
Under control: The synthesis of a MFI-zeolite was effectively controlled and the zeolite length was minimized to 20 nm by adding alkyltriethoxysilane to the conventional hydrothermal synthesis. Owing to intracrystal mesopores and a large external surface area, the zeolite materials (see figure for examples) exhibited a remarkably enhanced catalytic activity for reactions involving large organic molecules, as compared to conventional MFI-zeolites.
