Recent advances in the synthesis of all-silica and high-silica crystalline molecular sieves in
fluoride media, with special regard to low framework density phases, are presented. The …

The development of ordered mesoporous solids is revised. Acid, base, and redox catalytic
properties are presented together with their application for a series of organic reactions of …

A dense amorphous form of silica was prepared at high pressure from the highly
compressible, siliceous zeolite, silicalite-1-F. Reverse Monte Carlo modeling of total X-ray …

Pure silica ITW zeolite can be synthesized using 1, 2, 3-trimethylimidazolium and 1, 3-
dimethylimidazolium cations and fluoride anions as structure-directing agents (SDAs) …

In the search for stable and enduring organic colors, we have combined indigo, a historical
and industrially important chromophore, with silicalite, the MFI zeolite. The resulting pigment …

A series of doubly charged structure-directing agents based on two methylimidazolium
moieties linked by a linear bridge of n= 3, 4, 5, or 6 methylene groups has been used in the …

Fluoride anions can be removed from the framework of as-prepared Ge-containing zeolites
ITQ-13 and ITQ-17 without modification of the crystallinity and crystal habit. By contrast to all …

The new organic structure-directing agent 1-ethyl-2, 3-dimethylimidazolium, in conjuction
with fluoride anions, shows selectivity toward pure silica zeolite ITW. At low water contents …

The structure of the indigo@ silicalite pigment, an analog of ancient Maya Blue, has been
determined by combining X-ray Laue microdiffraction and powder diffraction techniques …

The durability of an organic color and its resistance against external chemical agents and
exposure to light can be significantly enhanced by hybridizing the natural dye with a mineral …
