Theoretical investigation of microporous materials for adsorption and catalysis Microporous materials are defined by a presence of pores with diameter smaller than 2 nm. They comprise a large variety of materials from amorphous materials to very well defined crystalline materials like zeolites or metal organic frameworks. Microporous materials are industrially very important group of materials used for adsorption, gas capture, molecular sieving, or heterogeneous catalysis. Zeolites are by far the most important group of microporous materials due to their use as catalysts for the petroleum cracking. One of the main limitations of the zeolite use in catalysis is their limited pore size. This obstacle can be solved by use of hierarchical zeolites with a secondary mesopore network which allows overcoming the diffusion problems. The aims of this study can be divided into two parts. In the first part, the structures of two-dimensional and hierarchical zeolites were investigated theoretically to identify the structure of new materials and to obtain reliable models to study the hierarchical zeolites. In the second part, the catalytic properties of several microporous materials were modelled to explain their experimental activity. The results of this thesis were used to identify the structure of a large...
