title: Ordered mesoporous ZSM-5 employing an imidazolium-based ionic liquid.
abstract: Hierarchically porous ZSM-5 was achieved by using a simple bottom-up strategy combining zeolite seeds with imidazolium-based ionic liquids. The bimodal ZSM-5 with hexagonal arranged mesopores (3 nm) shows important activity in the acid catalysis of bulky compounds relative to conventional ZSM-5.
