Abstract:
Systematic tuning of the micropore size in microporous transition metal oxide molecular sieves can be achieved by varying the length of the hydrocarbon chain of the diamine molecules used as templating agents. The large bifunctional molecules self-assemble with much smaller cross-sectional micellar dimensions than their monofunctional counterparts. The resulting family of porous materials offers exciting new flexibility in designing molecular sieves targeted for size selectivity and chemical functionality.

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
