โฆ Synopsis
Silicate and aluminosilicate MFI-type zeolites are synthesized with di-and triquaternary ammonium cations as structure-directing agents (SDA). Solid-state NMR spectra show that polycations are intact in the as-synthesized zeolites. Materials synthesized with polycationic molecules are compared to zeolites synthesized with tetrapropylammonium, the normal SDA for MFI-type zeolite. The zeolite nucleation rates and particle sizes decrease as the net charge of the organic cation increases, i.e. SDAn+ where n=1, 2 or 3.
