Abstract
Abstract A new 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO)-based quaternary ammonium compound is designed, synthesized, and used as structure-directing agent (SDA) for molecular sieve synthesis. Several 1,1′-alkylenedi(4-aza-1-azonia-2,5-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.2]octane) type SDAs are used in all-silica synthesis mixtures. Among the SDAs tested, the use of 1,1′-butylenedi(4-aza-1-azonia-2,5-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.2]octane) gives a new phase (GUS-1), whereas the use of other SDAs gives zeolite beta ( ∗ BEA), ZSM-12 (MTW), and ZSM-5 (MFI). The GUS-1 is indexed in the orthorhombic crystal class with refined lattice constants a =16.4206(4) A, b =20.0540(4) A and c =5.0464(1) A. The crystalline architecture of GUS-1 shows the same [0 0 1] projection of the framework as that of mordenite (MOR), and is characterized by a one-dimensional 12-membered ring channel system that is closely related to the channels of ZSM-12. The GUS-1 is stable to heat upon calcination at 700 °C in air. The calcined material exhibits adsorption capacity that is comparable to typical large-pore one-dimensional microporous silicates. The behavior of the SDA during synthesis is also discussed.
