Recent Advances in Catalytic Confinement Effect within Micro/Meso-Porous Crystalline Materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic discussion and fundamental understanding is provided concerning the concept of confinement effect, highlighting the impact of confinement effects on diffusion, adsorption/desorption, and catalytic reaction in typical micro/meso-porous crystalline materials, including zeolites, carbon nanotubes, and metal-organic frameworks.

What Is Being Measured with P-Bearing NMR Probe Molecules Adsorbed on Zeolites?

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that a judicious control of TMPO loading combined with two-dimensional 1H-31P HETCOR solid-state NMR, DFT, and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD)-based computational modeling provides an unprecedented atomistic description of the host-guest and guest-guerguest interactions of tMPO molecules confined within HZSM-5 molecular-sized voids.

Consequences of Acid Strength and Diffusional Constraints for Alkane Isomerization and β-Scission Turnover Rates and Selectivities on Bifunctional Metal-Acid Catalysts

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of acid strength on isomerization and β-scission of linear and branched alkanes has been investigated, showing that strong acids lead to higher turnover rates for all reactants because of their more stable conjugate anions at ion-pair transition states.

Efficient iterative schemes for ab initio total-energy calculations using a plane-wave basis set.

TL;DR: An efficient scheme for calculating the Kohn-Sham ground state of metallic systems using pseudopotentials and a plane-wave basis set is presented and the application of Pulay's DIIS method to the iterative diagonalization of large matrices will be discussed.

Hard and soft acids and bases

TL;DR: In this paper, the rate data for the generalized nucleophilic displacement reaction were reviewed, and the authors presented a method to estimate the rate of the generalized displacement reaction in terms of the number of nucleophiles.

Absolute hardness: companion parameter to absolute electronegativity

TL;DR: In this paper, a property called absolute hardness eta is defined for neutral and charged species, atomic and molecular, for both hard and soft acids and bases, by making use of the hypothesis that extra stability attends bonding of A to B when the ionization potentials of A and B in the molecule are the same.
