Confined space-controlled olefin-oxygen charge transfer in zeolites
Article Abstract:
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the initial charge-transfer in the photo-oxidation of alkenes in cationic zeolites are presented. It is found that the role of the electrostatic field of the zeolite in charge-transfer step is only indirect while the relative orientation and distance between DMB and O2 is important, which means that photo-oxidation is due to confinement effect in which reagents are oriented in a suitable pre-transition configuration.

Influence of zeolite framework geometry structure on the stability of the [ZnOZn](Super 2+) cluster by periodical density functional theory
Article Abstract:
The location of the [ZnOZn](Super 2+) cluster in zeolites was studied by the periodic al density functional method for a chosen composition of two Si atoms substituted by two Al atoms in the same D6R unit cell of the chabazite framework. In the case of the six-membered ring the stability is markedly influenced by the electrostatic interaction due to the close proximity oft the Zn cations to the ring plane.
