Nanostructured zeolite-based catalysts

This material was able to act as a solid Bronslcd base catalyst and accelerated the Knoevenagel condensation of ethyl cyanoacetate with benzaldehyde better than basic forms of mesoporous sieves and zeolite catalysts. It was found that this carboxylate-functionafized LLC material exhibited enhanced basicity due to the ordered nanostructure, and that the LLC pores were capable of substrate molecular size exclusion [114],... 

In the second part (Section 5.3), the strong potential of these techniques for the study of functionalized Al-based inorganic fluorides, synthesized for their possible application as catalysts (fluorinated alumina and zeolites, high surface area aluminium trifluorides and nanostructured aluminium fluoride hydrates and hydroxyfluorides), is shown. The compounds used as model for the assignment of the V and Al NMR lines in these materials are also presented.
