Site-Specific Iron Substitution in STA-28, a Large Pore Aluminophosphate Zeotype Prepared by Using 1,10-Phenanthrolines as Framework-Bound Templates.
in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English)
| Description | Zeolite materials have many important industrial applications, notably in the area of catalysis. One of the key challenges in this area of work is to be able to design zeolite structures that are optimised for a particular catalytic process. In order to achieve this, we need to understand the relationship between the zeolite and the organic structure directing agents (OSDAs) used in their synthesis. This work has revealed significant information on the use of computational methods to design OSDAs for specific zeolite targets, as well as giving a unique insight into how zeolite structures can be synthesised using more environmentally-friendly inorganic ions. |
| Exploitation Route | The improved understanding of the relationship between zeolite structures and the structure directing agents used in their synthesis, will make it easier in the future to design catalytic zeolite structures that are 'tailor made' for a particular purpose. |

| Description | This work has contributed significantly to our understanding of zeolite structure and synthesis. One particular achievement was enhanced understanding of the synthesis of these industrially important materials without using organic structure directing agents, making synthesis more environmentally-friendly. |
