The IZA has several established Commissions. The Structure Commission formed in 1977 has published four editions of the Atlas of Zeolite Structure Types (1978, 1987, 1992, 1996) and two subsequent editions in the Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types (2001, 2007). An up-to-date version is maintained on the World Wide Web at the IZA Structure Commission web site (http //www.iza-structure.org). Subsequently commissions were established in catalysis (1998), synthesis (1992), ordered mesoporous materials (2001) and natural zeolites (2001). The synthesis commission published a volume, Verified Syntheses of Zeolitic Materials , in 1998, with a second revised edition in 2001 (http //www.iza-structure.org).

The three-letter framework-type codes, recognized by the IUPAC Commission on Zeolite Nomenclature, have been used to organize the entries in this publication. The powder diffraction data and simulated patterns for the reference structures are listed alphabetically according to the respective framework type code. An index of material names, and associated three-letter codes, is included in the companion volume, the Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types (Baerlocher, McCusker and Olson (2007)). 

Reference cites the literature from which the crystal data, atomic coordinates, and displacement factors were obtained. In many cases there are multiple refinements of the same zeolitic material, but because of space limitations not all refinements could be included. We would be appreciative if authors and users would inform us of any errors or omissions. A listing of the references for isotypic species can be found in the Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types (Baerlocher, McCusker and Olson (2007)). A list of references to structure analyses of zeolites with different cations, up to 1982, is given in the Compilation of Extra Framework Sites in Zeolites, Mortier (1982). 

GIS). A three letter code (e.g. GIS) is assigned to confirmed framework types by the Structure Commission of the International Zeolite Association according to rules set up by an 1UPAC Commission on Zeolite Nomenclature [3,4]. The codes are normally derived from the name of the zeolite or type material , e.g. FAU from the mineral faujasite, LTA from Linde Type A, and MFI from ZSM-5 (Zeolite Socony Mobil - five). Information pertinent to these framework types is published in the Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types [5] and on the internet at http //www.iza-strncture.org/databases/. As new codes are approved, they arc announced on the IZA Structure Commission s WWW pages (http //www.iza-structure.org/) and included in the internet version of the Atlas. As of January 2005, 161 zeolite framework types had been confirmed by the Structure Commission. In this chapter, all references to materials whose framework types are known will be accompanied by the appropriate three letter code in boldface type. 

Zeolite frameworks can be classified according to various schemes (e.g. by pore opening, by structural subunit, by channel system, by framework density, by loop configurations, by vertex symbols, and/or by coordination sequences). Most of these features are defined in the introductory pages of the Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types and then given...
