SSZ-27: A Small-Pore Zeolite with Large Heart-Shaped Cavities Determined by Using Multi-crystal Electron Diffraction.

ABSTRACT: The high-silica zeolite SSZ-27 was synthesized using one of the isomers of the organic structure-directing agent that is known to produce the large-pore zeolite SSZ-26 (CON). The structure of the as-synthesized form was solved using multi-crystal electron diffraction data. Data were collected on eighteen crystals, and to obtain a high-quality and complete data set for structure refinement, hierarchical cluster analysis was employed to select the data sets most suitable for merging. The framework structure of SSZ-27 can be described as a combination of two types of cavities, one of which is shaped like a heart. The cavities are connected through shared 8-ring windows to create straight channels that are linked together in pairs to form a one-dimensional channel system. Once the framework structure was known, molecular modelling was used to find the best fitting isomer, and this, in turn, was isolated to improve the synthesis conditions for SSZ-27.

Synthesis and Structure of a 22 × 12 × 12 Extra-Large Pore Zeolite ITQ-56 Determined by 3D Electron Diffraction.

Project description:A multidimensional extra-large pore germanosilicate, denoted ITQ-56, has been synthesized by using modified memantine as an organic structure-directing agent. ITQ-56 crystallizes as plate-like nanocrystals. Its structure was determined by 3D electron diffraction/MicroED. The structure of ITQ-56 contains extra-large 22-ring channels intersecting with straight 12-ring channels. ITQ-56 is the first zeolite with 22-ring pores, which is a result of ordered vacancies of double 4-ring (d4r) units in a fully connected zeolite framework. The framework density is as low as 12.4 T atoms/1000 Å3. The discovery of the ITQ-56 structure not only fills the missing member of extra-large pore zeolite with 22-ring channels but also creates a new approach of making extra-large pore zeolites by introducing ordered vacancies in zeolite frameworks.

Aluminosilicate Zeolite EMM-28 Containing Supercavities Determined by Continuous Rotation Electron Diffraction.

Project description:A new aluminosilicate zeolite, denoted EMM-28, has been successfully synthesized on a large scale using 1,1-(3,3-(1,3-phenylene)bis(propane-3,1-diyl))bis(1-methylpyrrolidinium) hydroxide as an organic structure directing agent (OSDA), which was scaled up to an ∼20 g scale with a yield of 77%. It crystallizes as thin plates (40-100 nm in thickness), and the corresponding powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern shows significant peak broadening which makes it insufficient for structure determination. Continuous rotation electron diffraction (cRED) data collected from 13 crystals were successfully used to solve and refine the structure of EMM-28. This illustrates that cRED data are capable of performing structure determination despite limited PXRD data quality. EMM-28 has a unique framework structure containing supercavities, >21 Å in size, connected by one-dimensional 10-ring channels. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) confirmed the structure model. The structure of EMM-28 is related to several known zeolite structures with large cavities.

Adsorption structure of dimethyl ether on silicalite-1 zeolite determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Project description:The adsorption structures of dimethyl ether (DME) on silicalite-1 zeolite (MFI-type) are determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of low-loaded DME-silicalite-1 indicates that all DME molecules are located in the sinusoidal channel, which is the most stable sorption site based on the van der Waals interaction between DME and the framework. The configuration of guest molecules (linear or bent) plays an important role in determining where the stable sorption site is in the pore system of MFI-type zeolites. Bent molecules favor the sinusoidal channel, while linear molecules favor the straight channel. The contribution of DME-DME interactions is considerable in the high-loaded DME-silicalite-1 structure.

A Stable Silanol Triad in the Zeolite Catalyst SSZ-70.

Project description:Nests of three silanol groups are located on the internal pore surface of calcined zeolite SSZ-70. 2D 1 H double/triple-quantum single-quantum correlation NMR experiments enable a rigorous identification of these silanol triad nests. They reveal a close proximity to the structure directing agent (SDA), that is, N,N'-diisobutyl imidazolium cations, in the as-synthesized material, in which the defects are negatively charged (silanol dyad plus one charged SiO- siloxy group) for charge balance. It is inferred that ring strain prevents the condensation of silanol groups upon calcination and removal of the SDA to avoid energetically unfavorable three-rings. In contrast, tetrad nests, created by boron extraction from B-SSZ-70 at various other locations, are not stable and silanol condensation occurs. Infrared spectroscopic investigations of adsorbed pyridine indicate an enhanced acidity of the silanol triads, suggesting important implications in catalysis.

Ultrafast Electron Diffraction Tomography for Structure Determination of the New Zeolite ITQ-58.

Project description:In this work a new ultrafast data collection strategy for electron diffraction tomography is presented that allows reducing data acquisition time by one order of magnitude. This methodology minimizes the radiation damage of beam-sensitive materials, such as microporous materials. This method, combined with the precession of the electron beam, provides high quality data enabling the determination of very complex structures. Most importantly, the implementation of this new electron diffraction methodology is easily affordable in any modern electron microscope. As a proof of concept, we have solved a new highly complex zeolitic structure named ITQ-58, with a very low symmetry (triclinic) and a large unit cell volume (1874.6 Å(3)), containing 16 silicon and 32 oxygen atoms in its asymmetric unit, which would be very difficult to solve with the state of the art techniques.

Polymorph evolution during crystal growth studied by 3D electron diffraction.

Project description:3D electron diffraction (3DED) has been used to follow polymorph evolution in the crystallization of glycine from aqueous solution. The three polymorphs of glycine which exist under ambient conditions follow the stability order ? < ? < ?. The least stable ? polymorph forms within the first 3?min, but this begins to yield the ?-form after only 1?min more. Both structures could be determined from continuous rotation electron diffraction data collected in less than 20?s on crystals of thickness ?100?nm. Even though the ?-form is thermodynamically the most stable polymorph, kinetics favour the ?-form, which dominates after prolonged standing. In the same sample, some ? and one crystallite of the ? polymorph were also observed.

Crystal structure of copper perchlorophthalocyanine analysed by 3D electron diffraction

Project description:The structure of copper perchlorophthalocyanine (CuC32N8Cl16, Pigment Green 7) was solved from three-dimensional electron diffraction data (3D ED) and placed into the series of known copper phthalocyanine crystal structures. Copper perchlorophthalocyanine (CuPcCl16, CuC32N8Cl16, Pigment Green 7) is one of the commercially most important green pigments. The compound is a nanocrystalline fully insoluble powder. Its crystal structure was first addressed by electron diffraction in 1972 [Uyeda et al. (1972). J. Appl. Phys.43, 5181–5189]. Despite the commercial importance of the compound, the crystal structure remained undetermined until now. Using a special vacuum sublimation technique, micron-sized crystals could be obtained. Three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED) data were collected in two ways: (i) in static geometry using a combined stage-tilt/beam-tilt collection scheme and (ii) in continuous rotation mode. Both types of data allowed the crystal structure to be solved by direct methods. The structure was refined kinematically with anisotropic displacement parameters for all atoms. Due to the pronounced crystal mosaicity, a dynamic refinement was not feasible. The unit-cell parameters were verified by Rietveld refinement from powder X-ray diffraction data. The crystal structure was validated by many-body dispersion density functional theory (DFT) calculations. CuPcCl16 crystallizes in the space group C2/m (Z = 2), with the molecules arranged in layers. The structure agrees with that proposed in 1972.

Electron Diffraction on Flash-Frozen Cowlesite Reveals the Structure of the First Two-Dimensional Natural Zeolite.

Project description:Cowlesite, ideally Ca6Al12Si18O60·36H2O, is to date the only natural zeolite whose structure could not be determined by X-ray methods. In this paper, we present the ab initio structure determination of this mineral obtained by three-dimensional (3D) electron diffraction data collected from single-crystal domains of a few hundreds of nanometers. The structure of cowlesite consists of an alternation of rigid zeolitic layers and low-density interlayers supported by water and cations. This makes cowlesite the only two-dimensional (2D) zeolite known in nature. When cowlesite gets in contact with a transmission electron microscope vacuum, a phase transition to a conventional 3D zeolite framework occurs in few seconds. The original cowlesite structure could be preserved only by adopting a cryo-plunging sample preparation protocol usually employed for macromolecular samples. Such a protocol allows the investigation by 3D electron diffraction of very hydrated and very beam-sensitive inorganic materials, which were previously considered intractable by transmission electron microscopy crystallographic methods.

Crystal structure of η″-Fe3Al7+x determined by single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction combined with scanning transmission electron microscopy.

Project description:The crystal structure of η″-Fe3Al7+x , the low-temperature phase of η-Fe2Al5 with a composition on the Fe-rich side of the solid solubility range, has been determined by synchrotron X-ray single-crystal diffraction combined with scanning transmission electron microscopy. The η″ phase possesses commensurate long-period-ordered superlattice structures (space group Pmcn) based on the parent orthorhombic unit cell of η-Fe2Al5, consisting of twin domains (orientation variants) alternately stacked along the long-periodicity axis. Each of the twin domains possesses a motif structure belonging to the base-centered monoclinic space group C2/m, with a cell volume twice that of the parent orthorhombic unit cell (space group Cmcm). One-fourth of the c-axis chain sites corresponding to Al2- and Al3-sites in the η phase are respectively occupied by both Fe and Al atoms and exclusively by Al atoms in a regular manner. This regularity is disturbed in the twin-boundary region, giving rise to structural/compositional modulation. Because of the different chemical compositions between the motif structure and twin-boundary region, the η″ phase with various compositions can be constructed only by changing the number of the parent orthorhombic unit cells to be stacked along the orthorhombic c-axis, without changing the atomic arrangements for the motif structure or the twin boundary to account for the observed solid solubility range. The chemical formula of the η″ phase can thus be expressed as Fe3Al7+x under a simple assumption on the occupancies for Al/Fe atoms in the c-axis chain sites.

Hydrogen Bonds Dominate Bronsted Acid Sites in Zeolite SSZ-42: A Classification of Their Diversity.

Project description:The zeolite catalyst SSZ-42 shows a remarkable high abundance (≈80 %) of hydrogen-bonded Brønsted acid sites (BAS), which are deshielded from the 1 H chemical shift of unperturbed BAS at typically 4 ppm. This is due to their interaction with neighboring oxygen atoms in the zeolite framework when oxygen alignments are suitable. The classification and diversity of hydrogen bonding is assessed by DFT calculations, showing that oval-shaped 6-rings and 5-rings allow for a stronger hydrogen bond to oxygen atoms on the opposite ring side, yielding higher experimental chemical shifts (δ (1 H)=6.4 ppm), than circular 6-rings (δ(1 H)=5.2 ppm). Cage-like structures and intra-tetrahedral interactions can also form hydrogen bonds. The alignment of oxygen atoms is expected to impact their role in the stabilization of intermediates in catalytic reactions, such as surface alkoxy groups and possibly transition states.
