TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that direct grafting of an organometallic complex onto the inner walls of mesoporous silica MCM-41 generates a shape-selective catalyst with a large concentration of accessible, well spaced and structurally well defined active sites.

TL;DR: The synthesis of ITQ-21 is reported, a zeolite with a three-dimensional pore network containing 1.18-nm-wide cavities that exhibits high catalytic activity and selectivity for valuable products in preliminary oil refining tests.

TL;DR: The highly hydrophobic pure-silica zeolite A can be used for hydrocarbon separations that avoid oligomerization reactions, whereas materials with high Si/Al ratios give excellent shape-selective cracking additives for increasing propylene yield in fluid catalytic cracking operations.

TL;DR: The excellent balance between absorption, energy transfer, and emission rate of the Eu ITQMOF-3-Eu allowed the fabrication of a miniaturized pH sensor prototype that functions in the biologically interesting range (5–7.5) and a linear photoluminescence response, which allows the self-calibration of the emitting signal within this pH range, was achieved.
