| Description | A greater understanding of the synthesis of zeolite catalysts, without the need for organic template molecules, has been obtained. Novel zeolite frameworks have been identified and ways of making them have been postulated. Novel computational methods have been tested in order to identify structures that are specifically optimised for particular chemical reactions. |
| Exploitation Route | An improved understanding of zeolite synthesis using non-organic template molecules can lead to reduced need for organic chemicals that are potentially harmful to the environment. By designing frameworks that are optimised for specific reactions, chemical processes will become more efficient which may reduce costs as well as chemical pollution. |

| Geographic Reach | Regional |
| Primary Audience | Schools |
| Results and Impact | The University of Portsmouth hosted an outreach even for school children. This event, held over two days, was for school children aged between 14-16 years old from the South East region. Professor Paul Cox gave a 45 minute talk on Computer Aided Molecular Design and was also included on a Panel that answered questions about Careers in the Chemical Sciences. |
