Cobalt (II) phthalocyanine (CoPc) molecules have been encapsulated within the supercage of zeolite-Y. The square-planar complex, being larger than the almost spherical cage, is forced to adopt a distorted geometry on ...

Lewis acidity of alkali cation-exchanged zeolite is studied using local reactivity descriptors based on hard-soft acid–base (HSAB) concept. The local softness for nucleophilic attack (sx+), local softness for electrophilic ...
