What Types of Self-Assembling Systems Are Used in Catalysis?
Several types of self-assembling systems are used in catalysis:
Micelles and Vesicles: These structures can encapsulate catalysts and substrates, enhancing reaction rates and selectivity. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): MOFs are porous materials that can encapsulate catalytic species within their frameworks. Supramolecular Assemblies: These are complexes formed from non-covalent interactions that can act as catalytic entities. Nanoparticle Assemblies: Self-assembled nanoparticles can create highly active and selective catalytic surfaces.
