Abstract: | ABSTRACTWe have applied in silico materials design in an effort to design chiral organic structure directing agents (OSDAs) for the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched STW zeolite. To do so, we have used both exhaustive virtual screening of a limited set of symmetrical imidazolium dimers and a multi-objective genetic algorithm to effectively search a larger virtual combinatorial chemistry space that is too vast for an exhaustive approach. |
