Synthesis of zeolites using highly amphiphilic cations as organic structure-directing agents by hydrothermal treatment of a dense silicate gel†
Abstract
Silicalite-1 and siliceous *MRE zeolite were synthesized with a series of highly amphiphilic ammonium cations as organic SDAs. The relationship between the framework type and the chain length of the amphiphilic cation is explained in terms of the intermolecular N–N distance of the elongated SDA.
