Zeolites are well-known as valuable crystalline solids with framework structures containing
discrete micropores of molecular dimensions that accommodate exchangeable …

The rational design synthesis of zeolite catalysts with effective, environmentally benign and
atom-economic routes is a major topic in the field of microporous materials, as it would avoid …

Starting from the late seventies, the progressively increased availability of synchrotron light

The increasing environmental concern and promotion of “green processes” are forcing the
substitution of traditional acid and base homogeneous catalysts by solid ones. Among these …

Barry Sharpless was awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize as a compliment to his great
contributions in the field of asymmetric epoxidation, which has been recognized as one of …

Hierarchies are present everywhere in our environment such as in biological systems, from
simple unicellular organisms to the more complex human body [1]. Natural hierarchical …

This review article aims to cover the state-of-the-art of titanosilicate catalysts for selective
oxidations developed within past seven years. Many elaborated materials (eg, layered and …
