Abstract: Mstract -Molecular shape selective catalysis in intracrys- talline space of siliceous zeolites has opened up a spectrum of new opportunities in catalytic science and in industry.The mechanisms involved include: (a) selective, diffusional mass transport dynamics, and (b) steric modification of the intrinsic reaction rates. THE CHALLENGEAlmost any thermodynamically possible chemical reactions may occur to some extent at a sufficiently high temperature.It follows that the most unique role and purpose of a catalyst is to provide selectivity to direct the transformation along a very specific, desired path.
