General Aspects on Structure and Reactivity of Framework and Extra-framework Metals in Zeolite Materials

Structure and Reactivity of Metals in Zeolite Materials

Part of the book series: Structure and Bonding ((STRUCTURE,volume 178))

Abstract

In the present manuscript, the general aspects involving the synthesis and the most significant catalytic applications of metal-containing zeolites will be addressed and discussed. From the different metal-containing zeolites, metal species present in extra-framework or framework positions will be considered. On the one hand, the section highlighting the extra-framework metallic species will comprise metals with different natures, including single metal cations in exchangeable positions and metal clusters or nanoparticles entrapped within the pores and cavities of the zeolite frameworks. Depending on the nature of the metal, the acid/base and redox properties of these metal-containing zeolites can be tuned, allowing their efficient application as shape-selective heterogeneous catalysts in different industrially relevant chemical processes, including petrochemistry, refining, and fine chemistry, or environmental applications. On the other hand, the isomorphic substitution of isolated transition metals in tetrahedral coordination allows introducing controlled Lewis and/or Brønsted acidities, together with redox properties to zeolites, offering new opportunities for their implementation as selective catalysts for fine chemistry and biomass-derived processes.
