Abstract
Zeolite hexagonal Y was successfully synthesized in the presence of both 18-crown-6 and the Gd(III) complexes of 18-crown-6 as templates. The crystallization times as well as the gadolinium content in the hexagonal Y were found to increase with increasing ratios of Gd3+ -18-crown-6/SiO2 in the initial gel compositions. The resulting hexagonal Y zeolites were characterized by XRD, FT-IR and SEM. Partial evidence for the template role and encapsulation of Gd3+ -18-crown-6 are described. The room temperature proton relaxivities of aqueous suspensions of hexagonal Y entrapped Gd3+-18-crown-6 were measured. The pH stability of the hexagonal Y samples was also determined. Based on these results the potential application of hexagonal Y synthesized with Gd3+-18-crown-6 as oral MRI contrast agent is discussed.
