Charge density mismatch synthesis of MEI- and BPH-type zeolites in the TEA(+)-TMA(+)-Li(+)-Sr(2+) mixed-structure-directing agent system

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Feb 28;51(17):3671-3. doi: 10.1039/c4cc10351c.

Abstract

Nanocrystalline MEI- and BPH-type zeolites, denoted as PST-11 and PST-12, respectively, have been synthesized using both tetraethylammonium and tetramethylammonium ions, the two simplest alkylammonium species, in the presence of Li(+) and Sr(2+). PST-12 formation is the first example of a combination of forced and multiple cooperative structure-directions in the charge density mismatch synthesis of zeolites.
