Accelerated approach to non-framework cation placement in crystalline materials

Abstract

A molecular simulation technique for the efficient energy-based placement of cations within a matrix is described. The method is based on the use of non-bonded energy grids and rapid grid operations and is shown to reproduce known cation distributions efficiently. Results are reported for a range of inorganic and microporous materials.
