Abstract
A new methodology to effectively modify the selectivity of zeolites toward a target metal ion via surface molecular imprinting has been developed. A s tepwise methodology in which the template complex is assembled inside the z eolite pore in a piece-by-piece fashion is shown (see Figure). Tailored zeo lites with surface functionalization show great promise for the realization of shape-selective catalysis. [GRAPHICS]
