TL;DR: A broad classification and survey of organic chemistry over zeolites is presented in this paper, which reflects, for the most part, a mechanistic rather than a process or applications frame of reference.

TL;DR: The proposed framework structures are consistent with the known diffraction, sorption, and cation-exchange properties of zeolite beta.

TL;DR: The characteristic properties of zeolites, such as acidity, shape-selectivity and thermal stability, also enable them to be used for highly selective synthesis in the fields of chemical intermediates and fine chemicals as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Zeolites have proved to be valuable technical catalysts in petrochemistry and in oil processing. The characteristic properties of zeolites, such as acidity, shape-selectivity and thermal stability also enable them to be used for highly selective synthesis in the fields of chemical intermediates and fine chemicals. This interesting area of application has grown continuously in recent years. The present article summarizes the various standard types of reaction involved in organic syntheses which can be catalyzed by zeolites; these include, inter alia, electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution reactions, isomerization of double bonds and carbon skeletons, as well as addition, elimination and hydrogenation reactions.

TL;DR: The tetrahedral framework structure of zeolite beta is disordered along (001) planes as mentioned in this paper, and the disordered structure is related by a/3 and/or b/3 displacements on (1) planes to three ordered polytype structures with triclinic, monoclinic and tetragonal symmetry.
Abstract: The tetrahedral framework structure of zeolite beta is disordered along (001). The disordered structure is related by a/3 and/or b/3 displacements on (001) planes to three ordered polytype structures with triclinic, monoclinic, and tetragonal symmetry. Three mutually perpendicular 12-ring channel systems are characteristic of the three ordered polytypes and the disordered beta structure. The proposed framework structures are consistent with the known diffraction, sorption an cation exchange properties of zeolite beta.

TL;DR: Weisz and V. J. Frilette as discussed by the authors described the catalytic properties of small pore molecular sieve zeolites, and great strides in the use of shape-selective zeolite have been made, both scientifically and technologically.
Abstract: In the 26 years since the term “shape-selective catalysis” was coined by P. B. Weisz and V. J. Frilette [1] to describe the unique catalytic properties of small pore molecular sieve zeolites, great strides in the use of shape-selective zeolites have been made, both scientifically and technologically. Since then, in addition to small pore zeolites, synthetic medium pore zeolites, such as ZSM-5 [2], ZSM-11 [3], ZSM-22 [4], ZSM-23 [5], ZSM-35 [6], ZSM-38 [7], ZSM-48 [8], etc., have been discovered. The availability of these synthetic medium pore zeolites has expanded the realm of “shape selectivity” beyond the original discovery of selective conversion of straight chain molecules to include certain branched molecules, single-ring aromatics, naphthenes, and nonhydrocarbons with a critical molecular dimension smaller than about 6 A.
