Encapsulation of (pseudo)halogen metal complexes in zeolite Y cages by mechanochemistry

Abstract

In an effort to introduce alternative methods of post-synthetic functionalization of zeolites, mechanochemistry was utilized for ion exchange and synthesis of transition metal halide and pseudohalide complexes within FAU-type zeolite cages. Structural characterization of the guest molecules shows a variety of synthesized compounds inside the zeolite cavities.
