What is shape selectivecatalysis?



Answer -

A catalytic reaction whichdepends upon the pore structure of the catalyst and on the size of the reactantand the product molecules is called shape-selective catalysis. For example,catalysis by zeolites is a shape-selective catalysis. The pore size present inthe zeolites ranges from 260-740 pm. Thus, molecules having a pore size morethan this cannot enter the zeolite and undergo the reaction.
