Solid-State NMR in Zeolite Catalysis

Solid-State NMR Characterization of Heterogeneous Catalysts and Catalytic Reactions provides a comprehensive account of state-of-the-art solid-state NMR techniques and the application of these techniques in heterogeneous catalysts and related catalytic reactions. It includes an introduction to the basic theory of solid-state NMR and various frequently used techniques. Special emphasis is placed on characterizing the framework and pore structure, active site, guest-host interaction, and synthesis mechanisms of heterogeneous catalysts using multinuclear one- and two-dimensional solid-sate NMR spectroscopy. Additionally, various in-situ solid-state NMR techniques and their applications in investigation of the mechanism of industrially important catalytic reactions are also discussed. Both the fundamentals and the latest research results are covered, making the book suitable as a reference guide for both experienced researchers in and newcomers to this field.

Prof. Feng Deng received his B.Sc. degrees (1988) from the Department of Chemistry, Sichuan University, and completed his MA.Sc (1991) and Ph.D. (1996, under the supervision of Prof. Chaohui Ye and Prof. Youru Du) from Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. After his postdoctoral research (1997-1998) at the Department of Chemistry, Texas A&M University (with Prof. James F. Haw), he began working at Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics as a professor (1999-present). His research interests include solid-state NMR methodology and its application to the heterogeneous catalysis and chemistry of functional materials. He currently serves on the editorial boards of Solid State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Chinese Science Bulletin and Chinese Journal of Magnetic Resonance and has published more than 200 papers in international journals, such as JACS, Angew Chem, Chem Sci, J Phys Chem A/B/C, Chem Commun and J Magn Reson etc.
