What are Some Common Moisture Sensitive Catalysts?
Several catalysts are known for their moisture sensitivity, including: - Zeolites: Their microporous structure can trap water, leading to performance degradation. - Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): These are highly porous and can absorb water, affecting their stability. - Alkali Metal Catalysts: They react readily with water to form hydroxides. - Transition Metal Complexes: Many of these complexes can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water.
