Linear, primary monohaloalkane chemistry in NaX and NaY faujasite zeolites with and without Na0-treatment: Zeolites as nucleophilic reagents II
(Elsevier, 2006-06-20)
This work undertakes, we believe for the first time, a study of the chemistry of alkyl halides in Na0 treated zeolites. It concludes that
untreated zeolites do nucleophilic chemistry to the degree that the host is electron ...
