Enhancement of Brønsted acidity in zeolitic catalysts due to an intermolecular solvent effect in confined micropores.
Solid-state NMR and DFT calculation studies certified the presence of an intermolecular solvent effect for molecules confined in microporous zeolite, leading to a notable increase in Brønsted acidity of the solid acid catalyst.
