β¦ Synopsis
The all-silica zeolite deca-dodecasil 3R (DD3R) has a two-dimensional pore structure which might be used for separation of gas mixtures of small molecules in a zeolite packed bed or membrane configuration. The DD3R pore structure exists of large cages connected by narrow 8-membered oxygen rings. A specially developed and computationally efficient molecular modelling method is used to determine the permeability of a number of gaseous C 3 and C 4 hydrocarbon compounds in a DD3R zeolite membrane. The permeability is determined by the solubility coefficient and the diffusion coefficient. The solubility coefficient is determined from the adsorption energy of a gas molecule in the DD3R cage. The diffusion coefficient is determined from the energy barrier for diffusion which is the energy difference of the gas molecule in the ring and in the cage. High permeabilities and selectivities for the compounds trans-1,3butadiene and propene were determined.

The successful synthesis and structural characterization of molecules that represent segments of extended solids is a valuable strategy for learning metric and stereochemical characteristics of those solids. This approach has been useful in cases in which the solids are particularly difficult to cry
