Summary on Grant Application Form |
Support is requested for a computational project aimed at producing the complete library of hypothetical zeolite frameworks, in the form of a search database of well-characterised structures. From the results of mathematical tiling theory, atomistic modelling methods will allow accurate models of frameworks to be built, and key properties relating to structure and sorption to be simulated.Together with the known zeolite structures, the database will provide a unique opportunity to examine correlations between structural parameters ar the various simulated quantities. We also propose a novel method of structural characterisation based on analysis of internal wid shape.The project will be of immense benefit to those working in the fields of catalysis, sorption and ion-exchange, and synthesis of microporous materials enabling candidate structures for synthesis to be selected on the basis of their predicted properties, as well as affording a deeper insight into structure/activity relationships in microporous materials.
