Quaternary ammonium compounds as structure directing agents in zeolite synthesis... 

The importance of quats as structure-directing agents in zeolite synthesis was recently underlined (ref. 5) by the synthesis of the new zeolites SSZ-26 and -33, which combine 10- and 12-ring pores. The templates applied are shown in Figure 3. 

Since then, organic amines, quaternary-ammonium bases, metal complexes, and other compounds have been extensively used in zeolite synthesis, acting as space fillers with low specificity, structure-directing agent, or true templates ... 

The same periodic structures can also be formed from alternating AIO4 and PO4 tetrahedra the resulting aluminophosphates are not called zeolites but AlPOs. Zeolites are made by hydrothermal synthesis under pressure in autoclaves, in the presence of template molecules such as tetramethylammonium, which act as structure directing agents. 

The Si-CHA samples were synthesized in fluoride medium and using /V.iV.iV-trimethyl adamantammonium (TMAda+) as structure-directing agent. The starting gel of molar composition 1 Si02 0.5 TMAdaOH 0.5 HF 3 H20 was introduced in a Teflon-lined stainless-steel autoclave and heated at 150°C during 90 h. After synthesis, the product was filtered, washed with distilled water and dried at 60°C overnight. The solid was... 

Al-containing ITQ-21 zeolite ((Si+Ge)/Al=25, Si/Ge=20) was synthesized using N(16)-methyl-sparteinium cation (MSPT+) as the organic structure-directing agent in combination with fluoride anions and germanium as described in [1], The composition of the final synthesis gel was ... 

Fig. 4 Proposed defect cluster model in as-made zeolites with quaternary ammonium cations as structure directing agents (SDAs) hydrogen bond distances of 1.68 A are determined experimentally from the H NMR chemical shift of 10.2 ppm X and Y are atoms not further specified in the SDA the interaction between the SDA and the SiO- group is assumed based on bond valence arguments (see text)...

Adapted from [204]... 

Zeolite synthesis around a metal complex was introduced by Balkus [40]. The metal complex is added to the zeolite synthesis mixture and is incorporated into the zeolite structure during the zeolite synthesis. Of course, this procedure is only applicable when the metal complex is soluble in the synthesis mixture and can withstand the hydrothermal synthesis conditions. Another requirement is that the zeolite structure-directing agent added must be removable by a milder... 

Synthesis using TPABr as structure-directing agent and ammonia, water, hexanediamine, n-butylamine, diethylamine, ethylenediamine, or triethanolamine as base (seeds of TS-1 were added to get smaller crystallites and 100% crystallinity) Synthesis of fibrous titanosilicate...
