Chemical reactions on clays.
Layer aluminosilicates catalyze reactions in numerous ways. They stabilize high-energy intermediates. They can store energy in their lattice structures and can release it in the form of chemical energy. They can catalyze redox reactions and can serve as photocatalytic devices. They often exhibit high surface acidity. Organic reactions that are catalyzed by the agency of days are reviewed. The role of clays in prebiotic chemistry is also examined.
