Abstract
. Quantitative analysis of the BAS in the 12-MR and 8-MR identifies the optimum template for maximizing the BAS in the 8-MR. It is shown that the enhanced activity of the H-MOR for the DME carbonylation to methyl acetate correlates with the increase in the BAS in the 8-MR. Our finding thus provides a facile strategy to direct Al location within different channels of the zeolite, which must benefit spatially confined reaction systems.
