A novel method of engineering the supercage aperture in zeolite Y that can produce zeolites with highly tunable pore sizes is described. The room temperature reaction of metal organic chemical vapor deposition species such as (CH 3 ) 2 Zn or (CH 3 ) 2 Cd with Brønsted acid sites in H π Na 36−n Y leads to anchored ZOZnCH 3 or ZOCdCH 3 moieties located at specific sites in the supercage of zeolite Y that can discriminate between H 2 S and H 2 Se. This degree of chemoselectivity will increase the number of potential practical applications of molecular sieves.
