Investigation of the Acid/Basic Sites of Zeolite Trough Some Catalysed Nucleophilic Reactions

Zeolites, both natural and synthetic, are certainly some of the most versatile minerals for their applications. Since 1940s, they have been used in chemical industry as catalysts, adsorbents ion exchanger extensively, development practical usage is expected to continue upon years. Their versatility result combination peculiar indispensable properties, each which can be found other material a single property, but seldom all them combination. However, despite success employment, mechanisms many important catalytic processes involving zeolites remained elusive. In particular, comprehension structure–property relationships emerging applications highly required. this perspective article we focus on role solid acid-base catalysts. We go deeply into structural properties LTA kind (Zeolite-Na A 4 Ångstrom) that was successfully employed basic catalyst several nucleophilic substitution reactions.
