“…This stimulated further systematic research. In the paradigmatic case of CO, the study of carbon monoxide molecule interactions with alkali metals and Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , and Cu + cations coordinated in FER, − MFI, , BEA, LTA, FAU, and LTL zeolite frameworks showed that the existence and population of complexes formed in zeolites depend on (i) the zeolite topology, (ii) the concentration of the cations (determined by the Si/Al ratio), and (iii) the cation size. Studies extended to other gas molecules (such as CO 2 , NO, O 2 , N 2 , and acetylene ,− ,− ) have shown that the ability to form bridge complexes also depends on the size, geometry, and electronic structure of the molecules.…”
