Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses encapsulated guest atoms within the basic beta cage of sodalitic zeolite. Ab initio quantum chemical calculations at the HF/3-21G* level of theory is applied to consider the nature of the active sites of sodalite β-cage of the LTA-type zeolite and faujasite structures. Especially, the nature of sodium, potassium, and silicon atoms encapsulated within the sodalitic β-cage, and their structural and molecular parameters have been described. Up to four sodium and four potassium atoms as well as five silicon atoms could be encapsulated within the sodalite β-cage. The unique properties of these nano-sizes materials relate directly to the encapsulated guest atom containing fragments stabilized within the sodalite β-cage of the LTA-type zeolite or faujasite structures.
