Abstract
As an unambiguous measure for the stability of the zeolite frameworks, the present work reports the values of the energy of transition from alpha-quartz for all 245 regular zeolite frameworks using explicitly periodic density functional calculations. The calculations are performed for completely silica structures. The calculated energy values fit very well to the available experimental data for the enthalpies of transition of the structures with lower stability, while for more stable frameworks the deviations are larger. Considering all studied zeolite frameworks, one cannot observe correlation between the stability of the structure and its framework density, but for silica zeolites there is a rough trend that a decrease of the framework density by 1.0 T atom per 1000 Å3, may be interpreted as increase of the energy of transition of the corresponding silicate zeolite framework by about 1.0 ± 0.3 kJ/mol per T atom. The reported results may be useful as a measure of the relative stability of the zeolite framework, which is important for their synthesis, transformations, treatments and applications.
期刊介绍:
Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.
Topics which are particularly of interest include:
All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids
The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials
The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic
The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions
All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials
Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents
Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials
Host/guest interactions
Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions
All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
