Unlike homogeneous metal complexes, achieving absolute control over reaction selectivity in heterogeneous catalysts remains a formidable challenge due to the unguided molecular adsorption/desorption on metal-surface sites. Conventional organic surface modifiers or ligands and rigid inorganic and metal-organic porous shells are not fully effective. Here, we introduce the concept of "ligand-porous shell cooperativity" to desirably reaction selectivity in heterogeneous catalysis.

Microbubble-assisted starch modification (MASM) using different gases (N, CO and air) was employed to assess the effects of hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) on various botanical starches, including potato, wheat, corn and rice. SEM showed that N- and CO- microbubbles created more pronounced holes and cracks on the starch surfaces than air-microbubbles. The hydrodynamic cavitation-assisted microbubble (HCAM) treatment significantly reduced the amorphous and crystalline structures in potato and wheat starches, with less impact observed in corn and rice.

The precise engineering of microporosity is challenging due to the interference at sub-nm scale from unexpected structural flexibility and molecular packing. Herein, the concept of topological supramolecular complexation is proposed for the feasible fabrication of hierarchical microporosity with broad tunability in amorphous form. The 2.

Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) are an emerging class of amorphous organic porous materials with solution processability, which are widely used in a multitude of fields such as gas separation, ion conduction, nanofiltration, etc. PIMs have adjustable pore structure and functional pore wall, so it can achieve selective sieving for specific substances. In order to meet the functional requirements of PIMs, two principal methods are used to synthesize functional PIMs, namely, post-modification of PIMs precursors and functionalization of monomers.
