A fluoride-free siliceous STW-type zeolite synthesized using a designed organic structure-directing agent.

A pure silica STW zeolite is synthesized with no impurities under a wide range of synthesis conditions with and without fluoride by using easily available 1-methyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (MDBN) as a template.

Synthesis and Characterization of A Stable Extra-Large-Pore Zeolite with 15×12×12 Member-Ring Channels.

Extra-large-pore zeolites have great application potential in various industrial fields, such as oil refinery, fine chemicals and biomass processing. Herein, we report the synthesis of an extra-large-pore germanosilicate zeolite (named NUD-13) by using an easily obtained aromatic organic cation 1,2-dimethyl-3-propyl-benzimidazolium as organic structure-directing agents. NUD-13 possesses a rare 15-member ring extra-large-pore channel intersecting with two elliptical 12-member ring channels, which is isostructural to germanosilicate zeolite GeZA synthesized by using triphenylsulfonium.

Direct Synthesis of An Aluminosilicate POS Zeolite with Intersecting 12×11×11-Member-Ring Pore Channels by Using a Designed Organic Structure-Directing Agent.

Large and extra-large pore zeolites have been widely applied in industrial areas as catalysts, adsorbents, etc. Among them, silica and/or aluminosilicate zeolites have been attracted great attention due to their excellent hydrothermal stability and strong acidity. However, a great deal of zeolite structures are still not available in the form of silica and/or aluminosilicate.

Synthesis, Structure and Properties of an Extra-Large-Pore Aluminosilicate Zeolite NUD-6.

Pure silica zeolites possessing uniform micropores, large surface area and high thermal and chemical stability have been widely studied and used in the fields of fine chemicals and oil industry. The incorporation of aluminium into the framework of silica zeolites changes their properties, making them more industrially useful as adsorbents and catalysts. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of an extra-large-pore aluminosilicate zeolite NUD-6 with a 16-membered-ring pore channel.

Synthesis and characterization of a layered aluminosilicate NUD-11 and its transformation to a 3D stable zeolite.

Aluminosilicate zeolites are a well-known class of crystalline materials that have wide applications in various industrial fields due to their selective adsorption, acidic sites, and stable hydrothermal stability. Great efforts have been devoted to discovering new zeolite structures. As one of the effective methods, layered silicates have been used as precursors to produce stable zeolites through topotactic transformation.

An Extra-Large-Pore Pure Silica Zeolite with 16×8×8-Membered Ring Pore Channels Synthesized using an Aromatic Organic Directing Agent.

Extra-large-pore zeolites for processing large molecules have long been sought after by both the academia and industry. However, the synthesis of these materials, particularly extra-large-pore pure silica zeolites, remains a big challenge. Herein we report the synthesis of a new extra-large-pore silica zeolite, designated NUD-6, by using an easily synthesized aromatic organic cation as structure-directing agent.
