Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Microporous solids are important catalytic materials in many commercial processes, as well as having applications in ion exchange and gas absorption technologies. The main advantage over other catalysts is their ability to discriminate between chemical species of shape and size, and there are a number of examples where this selectivity has been used in zeolite catalysis. Their utility in industry is therefore intimately connected with their crystalline architecture, and a knowledge of the structure is vital in rationalising behaviour and identifying possible new uses. In this project we apply for a project studentship and necessary central facility (synchrotron x-ray) beamtime to allow us to solve the structures of microporous materials whose crystal size is too small for normal laboratory single crystal x-ray diffraction experiments. This will be accomplished using microcrystal and powder x-ray diffraction.
