Combined Alkali-Organoammonium Structure Direction of High-Charge-Density Heteroatom-Containing Aluminophosphate Molecular Sieves.

The charge density mismatch concept was applied to the synthesis of high-charge-density silicoaluminophosphate SAPO-69 (OFF) and SAPO-79 (ERI) and zincoaluminophosphate PST-16 (CGS), PST-17 (BPH), PST-19 (SBS), and ZnAPO-88 (MER) molecular sieves. Combined alkali-organoammonium structure direction in these systems is thus enabled. Structure direction is treated from the perspective of stabilizing an ionic framework, the relationships between reaction charge density (OH /H PO ), alkali and organoammonium content, and ionicity of tetrahedral framework atoms in successful structure direction are presented.
