Journal Article · · Chemical Science
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/d0sc02589e · OSTI ID:1635054

Water networks confined within zeolites solvate clustered reactive intermediates and must rearrange to accommodate transition states that differ in size and polarity, with thermodynamic penalties that depend on the shape of the confining environment.
