Stable zeolites that have larger pore apertures and a three-dimensional topology are of interest because they could be used to adsorb molecules, particularly for application in oil refining. Several large-pore zeolitic materials with channels formed by openings more than 12 rings known, but all them one-dimensional channel system limits their use catalysis. We report the synthesis some characterizations IM-12, thermally stable germanium-containing zeolite contains first two-dimensional...
IM-20 is a novel microporous germanosilicate with an interesting zeolitic structure.

We report a structural and thermodynamic investigation of the phase behavior Ga(OH,F)-MIL-53, gallium-based metal–organic framework (MOF) having MIL-53 topology containing 0.7 wt % fluorine bonded to metal. Despite some small differences, especially for hydrated form, overall physical chemistry Ga(OH,F)-MIL-53 is very similar standard free Ga-MIL-53 material. A combination in situ X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, heat capacity...
The synthesis and the structure of IM-17, a new germanosilicate with novel zeolitic topology, prepared hydrothermally decamethonium as organic directing agent, are reported. calcined partially rehydrated IM-17 chemical formula per unit cell |(H2O)14.4|[Si136.50Ge39.50O352] was solved ab initio using electron diffraction ADT data in acentric Amm2 (setting Cm2m) space group refined by Rietveld method.

Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) represent a thriving subclass of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) owing to the large variety their topologies, which some them are common with zeolites, and ability modulate chemistry as well hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity balance, making perfect examples isoreticular concept. One peculiar structural feature ZIFs is potential for transitions by rotation (or swing) linkers under external stimuli (guest adsorption, mechanical constraints, etc.). This...
The synthesis of ZIF-25 was successfully optimized by using acetic acid as a modulator agent, yielding highly crystalline material. product exhibits significant porosity, thermal stability up to 300 °C, and hydrophobicity, making it ideal for use in lyophobic heterogeneous systems (LHSs). Notably, the crystal structure refined first time Rietveld method fully reported space group Pm3̅m. Energetic performance evaluation intrusion–extrusion experiments shows that "ZIF-25–water" system...
Water intrusion-extrusion isotherms performed at room temperature on hydrophobic pure silica chabazite show that the water-Si-CHA system displays real spring behavior. However, differences in pressure-volume diagrams are observed between first and other cycles, indicating some water molecules interact with inorganic framework after intrusion.

To study the energetic performance of 1D 12-membred-ring pure silica ITQ-4 zeolite (IFR topology), a high-pressure water intrusion−extrusion isotherm at room temperature was performed. The pressure−volume diagram indicates an irreversible phenomenon, molecules remaining confined in micropores. Therefore, "water−ITQ-4" system appears to behave as bumper. intrusion pressure and intruded volume are 42 MPa 0.136 mL/g, respectively. Investigations on samples by 29Si 1H solid-state NMR...
Metal−organic framework-type Al-, Ga-, and Ga(OH,F)-MIL-53 have been characterized by solid-state NMR powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). 1H 2D double-quantum–single-quantum (DQ–SQ) magic angle spinning (MAS) experiments unambiguously evidence two inequivalent water molecules in Al-MIL-53_np_H2O. A careful reinvestigation of the XRD structure hydrated Al-MIL-53 proves, for first time, doubling unit cell supporting presence molecules. One type molecule is located channel, interacting with...
The energy performances of pure-silica LTA-type zeosil were studied by intrusion–extrusion water and concentrated aqueous solutions LiCl.
