Abstract
We report here the results of molecular dynamics and quantum chemical calculations on porous catalysts and supported metal catalysts to brin g out the catalytic role played by nanostructures. We present three ca se studies where the computer simulation techniques have revealed the important structural aspects involved in the catalyst design. The role of exchanged metal cations in zeolite A for the molecular sieving of nitrogen and oxygen, controlled pore opening of hydrated VPI-5 by care ful removal of water and the behavior of palladium metal particles sup ported over MgO are explained.
