U.S.-Germany Cooperative Research: ESR and NMR Studies of Microporous Silicoaluminophosphates Containing Transition Metal Ions

该奖项支持休斯顿大学的Larry Kevan博士和一名研究生与斯图加特大学化学技术研究所的Jens Weitkamp合作。每个小组都在研究催化剂结构和动力学的不同方法方面发展了世界级的能力。具体来说，专门研究电子自旋共振（ESR）技术的美国小组和专门研究核磁共振（NMR）技术的德国小组将共同研究含有催化作用过渡金属离子的微孔硅铝磷酸酯（SAPO-n）。这些材料将用于甲醇催化烯烃和其他产物的评价。

This award supports Dr. Larry Kevan and a graduate student from the University of Houston in a collaboration with Jens Weitkamp of the Institute of Chemical Techonology at the University of Stuttgart. Each group has developed world-class capabilities in separate methods for studying structure and dynamics of catalytic agents. Specifically, the U.S. group, which specializes in Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) techniques, and the German group, which specializes in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques, will come together to study microporous silicoaluminophosphates (SAPO-n) containing transition metal ions of catalytic interest. These materials will be evaluated for the catalysis of methanol to olefins and other resultants.
