Working backward: Computer-aided design of zeolite templates

Tuesday, June 18, 2013 - 14:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Taking a page from computer-aided drug designers, researchers have developed a computational method that chemists can use to tailor the properties of zeolites, one of the world's most-used industrial minerals. The method allows chemists to work backward by first considering the type of zeolite they wish to make and then creating the organic template needed to produce it.
