The importance of the framework structure in catalysis lies in its ability to influence several key properties:
Surface Area: A high surface area increases the number of active sites available for catalysis. Pore Size and Distribution: These factors determine the accessibility of reactants to active sites and the diffusion of products. Stability: A robust framework can withstand harsh reaction conditions, making the catalyst more durable. Selectivity: The specific arrangement of atoms can favor the formation of desired products over undesired ones.
