Organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs) are used to guide the formation of particular types pores and channels during synthesis zeolites. We report that use highly versatile OSDAs based on phosphazenes has been successfully introduced for This approach made possible elusive boggsite zeolite, which is formed by 10- 12-ring intersecting channels. topology these pore dimensions present interesting opportunities catalysis in reactions industrial relevance.
