1. A modified zeolite comprising:
a microporous framework comprising a plurality of micropores having diameters of less than or equal to 2 nm, wherein the microporous framework comprises at least silicon atoms and oxygen atoms; and
organometallic moieties each bonded to bridging oxygen atoms, wherein the organometallic moieties comprise a zirconium atom, wherein the zirconium atom is bonded to a bridging oxygen atom, and wherein the bridging oxygen atom bridges the zirconium atom of the organometallic moiety and a silicon atom of the microporous framework.
