Large pore zeolite molecular sieves phosphate structures

The use of molecular sieves as catalysts or catalyst components for synthesis of intermediates and fine chemical has increased impressively over the last two decades. A large number of reactions has been explored over a growing number of microporous materials. Also the level of imderstanding of the catalytic chemistry and the structure-activity relationships has greatly improved. Since the first review of Venuto and Landis in 1968 [1] and the one of Venuto in 1994 [2] the discovery of medium pore zeolites such as ZSM-5 [3] and of phosphate based molecular sieves [4] had the largest impact on the field.
