[PMID: 39157109 PMCID: PMC11325514 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c04259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/20/2024]
Abstract
Organic amides as solvents and structure directing agents (SDAs) are crucial for synthesizing zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs). However, current research focuses only on the use of short alkyl-chain amides as solvents/SDAs. Here, we investigate the role of amides with varying alkyl-chain lengths on the structures and topologies of Zn(Im)2 polymorphs. Using short alkyl-chain amides as solvents, the Zn(Im)2 topological structures are affected by the synthesis conditions, leading to "one SDA/multiple topological structures". In contrast, when long alkyl-chain amides are used as solvents, the Zn(Im)2 topological structures are essentially unaffected by other synthesis conditions. Thus, long alkyl-chain amides are shown for the first time to exhibit a significant template role, leading to "one template/one topological structure". Specifically, the use of long alkyl-chain N,N-dimethyl-Cn amides (abbreviated as DM-Cn amides, n = 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10) can lead to only DTF-type Zn(Im)2 frameworks under broad crystallization conditions. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction confirmed that the exquisite structural compatibility between long alkyl-chain DM-Cn amides and the DFT-type Zn(Im)2 framework results in a highly regular head-to-tail arrangement of amides along the (kaa-lov) n chain of the DFT framework. The template role for long alkyl-chain amides was further identified to be multiple C-H···π interactions between DM-Cn amides and Zn(Im)2 frameworks thanks to molecular simulations.

Abstract
Zeolite catalysts and adsorbents have been an integral part of many commercial processes and are projected to play a significant role in emerging technologies to address the changing energy and environmental landscapes. The ability to rationally design zeolites with tailored properties relies on a fundamental understanding of crystallization pathways to strategically manipulate processes of nucleation and growth. The complexity of zeolite growth media engenders a diversity of crystallization mechanisms that can manifest at different synthesis stages. In this review, we discuss the current understanding of classical and nonclassical pathways associated with the formation of (alumino)silicate zeolites. We begin with a brief overview of zeolite history and seminal advancements, followed by a comprehensive discussion of different classes of zeolite precursors with respect to their methods of assembly and physicochemical properties. The following two sections provide detailed discussions of nucleation and growth pathways wherein we emphasize general trends and highlight specific observations for select zeolite framework types. We then close with conclusions and future outlook to summarize key hypotheses, current knowledge gaps, and potential opportunities to guide zeolite synthesis toward a more exact science.

Abstract
Zeolites, nanoporous aluminosilicates with well-defined porous structures, are versatile materials with applications in catalysis, gas separation, and ion exchange. Hydrothermal synthesis is widely used for zeolite production, offering control over composition, crystallinity, and pore size. However, the intricate interplay of synthesis parameters necessitates a comprehensive understanding of synthesis-structure relationships to optimize the synthesis process. Hitherto, public zeolite synthesis databases only contain a subset of parameters and are small in scale, comprising up to a few thousand synthesis routes. We present ZeoSyn, a dataset of 23,961 zeolite hydrothermal synthesis routes, encompassing 233 zeolite topologies and 921 organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs). Each synthesis route comprises comprehensive synthesis parameters: 1) gel composition, 2) reaction conditions, 3) OSDAs, and 4) zeolite products. Using ZeoSyn, we develop a machine learning classifier to predict the resultant zeolite given a synthesis route with >70% accuracy. We employ SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) to uncover key synthesis parameters for >200 zeolite frameworks. We introduce an aggregation approach to extend SHAP to all building units. We demonstrate applications of this approach to phase-selective and intergrowth synthesis. This comprehensive analysis illuminates the synthesis parameters pivotal in driving zeolite crystallization, offering the potential to guide the synthesis of desired zeolites. The dataset is available at https://github.com/eltonpan/zeosyn_dataset.

Abstract
Chabazite (CHA type) zeolite is notoriously difficult to synthesize in the absence of organic structure-directing agents owing to long synthesis times and/or impurity formation. The ability to tailor organic-free syntheses of zeolites is additionally challenging due to the lack of molecular level understanding of zeolite nucleation and growth pathways, particularly the role of inorganic cations. In this study, we reveal that zeolite CHA can be synthesized using six different combinations of inorganic cations, including the first reported seed- and organic-free synthesis without the presence of potassium. We show that lithium, when present in small quantities, is an effective accelerant of CHA crystallization; and that ion pairings can markedly reduce synthesis times and temperatures, while expanding the design space of zeolite CHA formation in comparison to conventional methods utilizing potassium as the sole structure-directing agent. Herein, we posit the effects of cation pairings on zeolite CHA crystallization are related to their hydrated ionic radii. We also emphasize the broader implications for considering the solvated structure and cooperative role of inorganic cations in zeolite synthesis within the context of the reported findings for chabazite.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic molecular assembly has led to numerous nano/mesostructured materials with fantastic properties, but it is dependent on and limited to the direct interaction between host organic structure-directing molecules and guest inorganic species. Here, we report a "solvent-pair surfactants" enabled assembly (SPEA) method to achieve a general synthesis of mesostructured materials requiring no direct host-guest interaction. Taking the synthesis of mesoporous metal oxides as an example, the dimethylformamide/water solvent pairs behave as surfactants and induce the formation of mesostructured polyoxometalates/copolymers nanocomposites, which can be converted into metal oxides. This SPEA method enables the synthesis of functional ordered mesoporous metal oxides with different pore sizes, structures, compositions and tailored pore-wall microenvironments that are difficult to access via conventional direct organic-inorganic assembly. Typically, nitrogen-doped mesoporous ε-WO3 with high specific surface area, uniform mesopores and stable framework is obtained and exhibits great application potentials such as gas sensing.

Abstract
In zeolite frameworks, double four-ring (d4r) configurations are among the most frequent composite building units. The composition variations in d4r units greatly influence the energy and structural modifiability of the zeolitic framework. The introduction of germanium, with a larger ionic radius than silicon or aluminum, not only reduces the energy constraints of d4r in the nucleation and crystal growth of zeolites, but also opens a new window for constructing novel crystalline structures, especially with large or extra-large pores and channels. Ge-enriched d4r units endow germanosilicates with structure diversity readily for post treatments. Promising catalytic materials have been gradually developed and increasingly studied by direct synthesis or post-synthetic isomorphous substitution for Ge. This review focuses on the recent progress in the synthesis, modification, and catalytic application of d4r-containing zeolites, including germanosilicates, aluminosilicates, and silicates.

Abstract
Designing and innovating organic structure-directing agents is the key to synthesizing novel molecular sieve structures. Herein, we design a novel carbazolyl-modified template and further synthesize a two-dimensional layered aluminophosphate with [C17H21N2]3[Al3(PO4)4]·5H2O (denoted as ZHKU-2). ZHKU-2 is composed of AA-stacked [Al3P4O16]3- layers constructed from alternating AlO4 and PO3(=O) tetrahedrons to form a 4.6.8 network featured by capped six-ring secondary building units. Carbazolyl-templated ZHKU-2 exhibits strong purple fluorescence with a high quantum yield of 25.98%. This work expands aluminophosphate materials of the [Al3P4O16]3- family and provides a view for synthesizing new molecular sieves by exploring the organic luminescence structure-directing agents.

Abstract
Lipophilic N,N,N',N'-tetraalkyl-diglycolamides (TRDGAs) are promising extractants for actinides separation in spent nuclear fuel reprocessing. Usually, in the extracted complexes of actinide and lanthanide ions of various oxidation states, the metal ions are completely surrounded by 2 or 3 TRDGA molecules, and the counter anions do not directly coordinate with them. In contrast, the extracted complexes of U(iv) from different media presenting different absorption spectra indicate that the anions (Cl- and NO3-) are directly involved in the coordination with U(iv) in the first inner sphere. Based on this exceptional observation in solvent extraction, taking the coordination of U(iv) with N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-diglycolamide (TMDGA, the smallest analogue of TRDGA) as the research object, we mimic the behaviours of counterions (Cl- and NO3-) and the water molecule during coordination of TMDGA with U(iv), especially combining with the simulation of the absorption spectra. We demonstrate that during the complexing of TMDGA to U(iv), the counterion Cl- will occupy one coordination number in the inner coordination sphere, and NO3- will occupy two by bidentate type; however, the ubiquitous water cannot squeeze in the inner coordination sphere. In addition, the coordination of Cl- and NO3- is proved to favour the extraction with the lower binding energy. Moreover, the simulation of absorption spectra is in good agreement with the observation from experiments, further verifying the aforementioned conclusion. This work in some way will provide guidance to improve the computation methods in research of actinides by mimicking the absorption spectra of actinide ions in different complexes.

Abstract
Rapid phase elucidation of polycrystalline materials is essential for developing new materials of chemical, pharmaceutical and industrial interest. Yet, the size and quantity of many crystalline phases are too small for routine X-ray diffraction analysis. This has become a workflow bottleneck in materials development, especially in high-throughput synthesis screening. Here we demonstrate the application of serial rotation electron diffraction (SerialRED) for high-throughput phase identification of complex polycrystalline zeolite products. The products were prepared from a combination of multiple framework T atoms ([Si,Ge,Al] or [Si,Ge,B]) and a simple organic structure-directing agent. We show that using SerialRED, five zeolite phases can be identified from a highly complex mixture. This includes phases with ultra-low contents undetectable using X-ray diffraction and phases with identical crystal morphology and similar unit cell parameters. By automatically and rapidly examining hundreds of crystals, SerialRED enables high-throughput phase analysis and allows the exploration of complex synthesis systems. It provides new opportunities for rapid development of polycrystalline materials.

Abstract
A pure silica STW zeolite is synthesized with no impurities under a wide range of synthesis conditions with and without fluoride by using easily available 1-methyl-1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (MDBN) as a template. MDBN having an appropriate size and geometry fits well in the STW cage, leading to its high specificity in structure-directing formation of zeolite STW.

Abstract
The activity and selectivity of acid-catalyzed chemistry is highly dependent on the Brønsted and Lewis acid sites generated by Al substitutions in a zeolite framework with the desired pore architecture. The siting of two Al atoms in close proximity in the framework of high-silica zeolites can also play a decisive role in improving the performance of redox catalysts by producing exchangeable positions for extra-framework multivalent cations. Thus, considerable attention has been devoted to controlling the Al incorporation through direct synthesis approaches and post-synthesis treatments to optimize the performance as (industrial) solid catalysts and to develop new acid- and redox-catalyzed reactions. This Feature Article highlights bottom-up synthetic strategies to fine-tune the Al incorporation in zeolites, interpreted with respect to thermodynamic and kinetic aspects. They include (i) variation in extra-framework components in zeolite synthesis, (ii) isomorphous substitution of other heteroatoms in the zeolite framework, and (iii) control over the (alumino)silicate network in the initial synthesis mixture via in situ and ex situ methods. Most synthetic approaches introduced here tentatively showed that the energy barriers associated with Al incorporation in zeolites can be variable during zeolite crystallization processes, occurring in complex media with multiple chemical interactions. Although the generic interpretation of each strategy and underlying crystallization mechanism remains largely unknown (and often limited to a specific framework), this review will provide guidance on more efficient methods to prepare fine-tuned zeolites with desired chemical properties.

Abstract
Zeolites have been widely used as catalysts, ion exchangers, and adsorbents since their industrial breakthrough in the 1950s and continue to be state-of the-art adsorbents in many separation processes. Furthermore, their properties make them materials of choice for developing and emerging separation applications. The aim of this review is to put into context the relevance of zeolites and their use and prospects in adsorption technology. It has been divided into three different sections, i.e., zeolites, adsorption on nanoporous materials, and chemical separations by zeolites. In the first section, zeolites are explained in terms of their structure, composition, preparation, and properties, and a brief review of their applications is given. In the second section, the fundamentals of adsorption science are presented, with special attention to its industrial application and our case of interest, which is adsorption on zeolites. Finally, the state-of-the-art relevant separations related to chemical and energy production, in which zeolites have a practical or potential applicability, are presented. The replacement of some of the current separation methods by optimized adsorption processes using zeolites could mean an improvement in terms of sustainability and energy savings. Different separation mechanisms and the underlying adsorption properties that make zeolites interesting for these applications are discussed.

Abstract
Water plays a central role in the crystallization of a variety of organic, inorganic, biological, and hybrid materials. This is also true for zeolites and zeolite-like materials, an important class of industrial catalysts and adsorbents. Water is always present during their hydrothermal synthesis, either with or without organic species as structure-directing agents. Apart from its role as a solvent or a catalyst, structure direction by water in zeolite synthesis has never been clearly elucidated. Here, we report the crystallization of phosphate-based molecular sieves using rationally designed, hydrogen-bonded water-aminium assemblies, resulting in molecular sieves exhibiting the crystallographic ordering of heteroatoms. We demonstrate that a 1:1 assembly of water and diprotonated N,N-dimethyl-1,2-ethanediamine acts as a structure-directing agent in the synthesis of a silicoaluminophosphate material with phillipsite (PHI) topology, using SMARTER crystallography, which combines single-crystal X-ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, as well as ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The molecular arrangement of the hydrogen-bonded assembly matches well with the shape and size of subunits in the PHI structure, and their charge distributions result in the strict ordering of framework tetrahedral atoms. This concept of structure direction by water-containing supramolecular assemblies should be applicable to the synthesis of many classes of porous materials.

Abstract
This paper deals with the extension of the synthesis field of microporous zeolite-type materials and types of organic structure-directing agents (OSDA) that can be used to promote their crystallization. The highly hydrophilic hexamethylenetetramine (urotropine), with its C/N ratio = 1.5, which is unusual to act as a structure-directing agent in the crystallization of open-framework silica polymorphs, is used to exemplify the novelty of the employed approach. Namely, the protonation of urotropine in an acidic fluorine-containing medium transforms it into a very efficient OSDA that yields dodecasil 3C (MTN-type). This novel synthesis also allows gaining insights into OSDA-framework interactions in the MTN-type structure. The comprehensive 29Si and 19F MAS NMR indicate a small number of point defects of the framework T sites and the multiple bonding of F- ions to Si in a disordered manner. Based on this finding, a unit cell model has been generated using Monte Carlo simulation and validated with Rietveld refinement using experimental powder X-ray diffraction data. In the model, protonated urotropine cations are located in the center of the big hexakaidecahedral [51264] cages at full occupancy with random orientations. The charge balance is provided by the disordered F- ions.

Abstract
The study on the synthesis of zeolites, including both the development of novel techniques of synthesis and the discovery of new zeolitic frameworks, has a background of several decades. In this context, the application of organic structure-directing agents (SDAs) is one of the key factors having an important role in the formation of porous zeolitic networks as well as the crystallization process of zeolites. There are various elements that are needed to be explored for elucidating the effects of organic SDAs on the final physicochemical properties of zeolites. Although SDAs were firstly used as pore generators in the synthesis of high-silica zeolites, further studies proved their multiple roles during the synthesis of zeolites, such as their influences on the crystallization evolution of zeolite, the size of the crystal and the chemical composition, which is beyond their porogen properties. The aim of this mini review is to present and briefly summarize these features as well as the advances in the synthesis of new SDAs during the last decades.

Abstract
Nanosized ERI-type aluminophosphate was prepared by the calcination of a precursor material (denoted as ECNU-38P) synthesized using 1,1,6,6-tetramethyl-1,6-diazacyclododecane-1,6-diium hydroxide (TDDH) as a structure-directing agent. The structure of ECNU-38P is related to ERI topology but exhibits a highly disordered manner and contains both four- and six-coordinated Al atoms. In situ XRD patterns revealed a rarely reported temperature-induced three-dimensional (3D)-to-3D structural transformation from ECNU-38P to the ordered ERI-type ECNU-38 zeolite at 573-623 K. Nanosized ERI-type silicoaluminophosphate Si-ECNU-38 was also obtained by introducing Si atoms into the synthetic system of ECNU-38P. The catalytic performance of ERI-type silicoaluminophosphates in the methanol-to-olefin (MTO) reaction was revealed to be highly related to the crystal sizes.

Abstract
Zeolites, owing to their great variety and complexity in structure and wide applications in chemistry, have long been the hot topic in chemical research. This perspective first presents a short retrospect of theoretical investigations on zeolites using the tools from classical force fields to quantum mechanics calculations and to the latest machine learning (ML) potential simulations. ML potentials as the next-generation technique for atomic simulation open new avenues to simulate and interpret zeolite systems and thus hold great promise for finally predicting the structure-functionality relation of zeolites. Recent advances using ML potentials are then summarized from two main aspects: the origin of zeolite stability and the mechanism of zeolite-related catalytic reactions. We also discussed the possible scenarios of ML potential application aiming to provide instantaneous and easy access of zeolite properties. These advanced applications could now be accomplished by combining cloud-computing-based techniques with ML potential-based atomic simulations. The future development of ML potentials for zeolites in the respects of improving the calculation accuracy, expanding the application scope and constructing the zeolite-related datasets is finally outlooked.

Abstract
The development of chiral zeolitic catalysts possessing extra-large pores and endowed with the capability of enantioselectively processing bulky products represents one of the greatest challenges in chemistry. Here, we report the discovery of GTM-3, an enantio-enriched extra-large pore chiral zeolite material with -ITV framework structure, obtained using a simple enantiopure organic cation derived from the chiral pool, N,N-ethyl-methyl-pseudoephedrinium, as the chiral-inductor agent. We demonstrate the enantio-enrichment of GTM-3 in one of the two enantiomorphic polymorphs using the two enantiomers of the organic cation. Interestingly, we prove the ability of this zeolitic material to perform enantioselective catalytic operations with very large substrates, here exemplified by the catalytic epoxide aperture of the bulky trans-stilbene oxide with alcohols, yielding unprecedented product enantiomeric excesses up to 30%. Our discovery opens the way for the use of accessible chiral zeolitic materials for the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral pharmaceutical compounds.

Abstract
Hydrothermal, solvothermal or ionothermal routes are usually employed for the synthesis of zeolite, which is often accompanied by a high energy consumption, high cost and low efficiency. We have developed a novel route for the rapid and high yield synthesis of mordenite (MOR) zeolite via an ice-templating method. In comparison with traditional hydrothermal synthesis, not only the high yield, but also the superior crystallinity, large reduction in water level and reaction pressure, simple device and conventional silica sources by this route can have great potential for the commercial production of pure MOR zeolite. Moreover, the changed bonding environment of silicon atoms in MOR zeolite, that is, a relative decrease in the tetrahedrally coordinated Si–O–Si bond, and accordingly, an increase in the T–OH (T = Si, Al) groups and Si–O–Al sites, remarkably enhances its acid strength.

Abstract
Zeolites are porous crystals with extensive polymorphism. The hydrothermal synthesis of zeolites is a multistage process involving amorphous precursors that evolve continuously in solubility and local order toward those of the crystal. These results pose several questions: Why does a first-order transition appear as a continuous transformation? At which stage is the polymorph selected? How large are the barriers and critical sizes for zeolite nucleation? Here we address these questions using nucleation theory with experimental data. We find that the nucleation barriers and critical zeolite nuclei are extremely small at temperatures of hydrothermal synthesis, resulting in spinodal-like crystallization that produces a mosaic of tiny zeolitic crystallites that compete to grow inside each glassy precursor nanoparticle. The subnanometer size of the critical nuclei reveals that the selection between zeolite polymorphs occurs after the nucleation stage, during the growth and coarsening of the crystals around the excluded volume of the structure-directing agents.

Abstract
Materials science and chemistry have played a central and significant role in advancing society. With the shift toward sustainable living, it is anticipated that the development of functional materials will continue to be vital for sustaining life on our planet. In the recent decades, rapid progress has been made in materials science and chemistry owing to the advances in experimental, analytical, and computational methods, thereby producing several novel and useful materials. However, most problems in material development are highly complex. Here, the best strategy for the development of functional materials via the implementation of three key concepts is discussed: nanotechnology as a game changer, nanoarchitectonics as an integrator, and materials informatics as a super-accelerator. Discussions from conceptual viewpoints and example recent developments, chiefly focused on nanoporous materials, are presented. It is anticipated that coupling these three strategies together will open advanced routes for the swift design and exploratory search of functional materials truly useful for solving real-world problems. These novel strategies will result in the evolution of nanoporous functional materials.

Abstract
The search for new zeolite structures and compositions remains important in synthetic materials science due to the high impact on developing new chemical technologies, as well as on improving existing ones. Herein we present the synthesis and structure of PST-35, a novel medium-pore germanosilicate (Si/Ge = 2.1–6.6) zeolite, achieved by combining the excess fluoride approach and the unique structure directing ability of Ge in the presence of 1,2,3-triethylimidazolium ions as an organic structure-directing agent. PST-35 contains a zig-zag 10-ring (4.6 × 6.7 Å) channel system constructed of strictly alternating large 28-hedral ([48·58·68·82·102]) and smaller 18-hedral ([46·54·64·82·102]) cages of anomalous orthorhombic shape. The PST-35 structure is built from the connection of pst-35 layers consisting of small 8-hedral ([43·54·6]) cages, previously unobserved zeolite building layers, through single 4-rings. A medium-pore zeolite containing 2 novel orthorhombic-shaped cages was synthesized by combining the tendency of Ge to form double 4-ring units with the structure-directing ability of 1,2,3-triethylimidazolium ions under excess fluoride conditions.![]()

Abstract
Zeolites are inorganic materials with wide industrial applications due to their topological diversity. Tailoring confinement effects in zeolite pores, for instance by crystallizing intergrown frameworks, can improve their catalytic and transport properties, but controlling zeolite crystallization often relies on heuristics. In this work, we use computational simulations and data mining to design organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs) to favor the synthesis of intergrown zeolites. First, we propose design principles to identify OSDAs which are selective toward both end members of the disordered structure. Then, we mine a database of hundreds of thousands of zeolite-OSDA pairs and downselect OSDA candidates to synthesize known intergrowth zeolites such as CHA/AFX, MTT/TON, and BEC/ISV. The computationally designed OSDAs balance phase competition metrics and shape selectivity toward the frameworks, thus bypassing expensive dual-OSDA approaches typically used in the synthesis of intergrowths. Finally, we propose potential OSDAs to obtain hypothesized disordered frameworks such as AEI/SAV. This work may accelerate zeolite discovery through data-driven synthesis optimization and design.

Abstract
Organic and inorganic structure-directing agents (SDAs) impact Al distributions in zeolite, but the insights into how SDAs manipulate Al distribution have not been elucidated yet. Herein, the roles of different SDAs such as cyclohexylamine (CHA), hexamethylenimine (HMI), and Na+ in selective Al substitution of MCM-49 zeolite are investigated comprehensively by multinuclear solid-state NMR. The results demonstrate that MCM-49 synthesized with HMI shows relatively more T6 and T7 Al, while more T2 Al is observed using CHA. The formation of T2 Al in both MCM-49(HMI) and MCM-49(CHA) is derived from Na+, while protonated HMIs show bias in incorporation of T6 and T7 Al. Most HMIs are occluded in protonated status, and about half of CHAs are occluded in nonprotonated status. The close spatial proximity between nonprotonated CHAs and Na+ synergistically promotes the formation of zeolite structure, leading to more Na+ ions occluded in the zeolite channel with preferential T2 Al substitution.

Abstract
In inorganic zeolite formation, a direct correspondence between liquid state species in the synthesis and the supramolecular decoration of the pores in the as-made final zeolite has never been reported. In this paper, a direct link between the sodium speciation in the synthesis mixture and the pore structure and content of the final zeolite is demonstrated in the example of hydroxysodalite. Super-ions with 4 sodium cations bound by mono- and bihydrated hydroxide are identified as structure-directing agents for the formation of this zeolite. This documentation of inorganic solution species acting as a templating agent in zeolite formation opens new horizons for zeolite synthesis by design.

Abstract
Microporous zeolite-type materials, with crystalline porous structures formed by well-defined channels and cages of molecular dimensions, have been widely employed as heterogeneous catalysts since the early 1960s, due to their wide variety of framework topologies, compositional flexibility and hydrothermal stability. The possible selection of the microporous structure and of the elements located in framework and extraframework positions enables the design of highly selective catalysts with well-defined active sites of acidic, basic or redox character, opening the path to their application in a wide range of catalytic processes. This versatility and high catalytic efficiency is the key factor enabling their use in the activation and conversion of different alkanes, ranging from methane to long chain n-paraffins. Alkanes are highly stable molecules, but their abundance and low cost have been two main driving forces for the development of processes directed to their upgrading over the last 50 years. However, the availability of advanced characterization tools combined with molecular modelling has enabled a more fundamental approach to the activation and conversion of alkanes, with most of the recent research being focused on the functionalization of methane and light alkanes, where their selective transformation at reasonable conversions remains, even nowadays, an important challenge. In this review, we will cover the use of microporous zeolite-type materials as components of mono- and bifunctional catalysts in the catalytic activation and conversion of C1+ alkanes under non-oxidative or oxidative conditions. In each case, the alkane activation will be approached from a fundamental perspective, with the aim of understanding, at the molecular level, the role of the active sites involved in the activation and transformation of the different molecules and the contribution of shape-selective or confinement effects imposed by the microporous structure.

Abstract
Interzeolite conversion, a synthesis technique for several zeolite frameworks, has recently yielded a large amount of high-performing catalytic zeolites. Yet, the mechanisms behind the success of interzeolite conversion remain unknown. Conventionally, small oligomers with structural similarity between the parent and daughter zeolites have been proposed, despite the fact these have never been observed experimentally. Moreover, recent synthesis examples contradict the theory that structural similarity between the parent and daughter zeolites enhances interzeolite conversion. In this perspective it is proposed that heteroatoms, such as aluminium, are key players in the processes that determine the successful conversion of the parent zeolite. The role of Al during parent dissolution, and all consecutive stages of crystallization, are discussed by revising a vast body of literature. By better understanding the role of Al during interzeolite conversions, it is possible to elucidate some generic features and to propose some synthetic guidelines for making advantageous catalytic zeolites. The latter analysis was also expanded to the interconversion of zeotype materials where heteroatoms such as tin are present. The crucial roles of aluminium in driving and controlling interzeolite conversion, a useful catalyst synthesis protocol, are put under scrutiny.![]()

Abstract
Zeolites are a well-known family of microporous aluminosilicate crystals with a wide range of applications. Their industrial synthetic method under hydrothermal condition requires elevated temperature and long crystallization time and is therefore quite energy-consuming. Herein, we utilize high-energy electron beam irradiation generated by an industrial accelerator as a distinct type of energy source to activate the formation reaction of Na-A zeolite. The initial efforts afford an attractive reaction process that can be achieved under ambient conditions and completed within minutes with almost quantitative yield, leading to notable energy saving of one order of magnitude compared to the hydrothermal reaction. More importantly, electron beam irradiation simultaneously exhibits an etching effect during the formation of zeolite generating a series of crystal defects and additional pore windows that can be controlled by irradiation dose. These observations give rise to significantly enhanced surface area and heavy metal removal capabilities in comparison with Na-A zeolite synthesized hydrothermally. Finally, we show that this method can be applied to many other types of zeolites.

Abstract
Organic structure directing agents (OSDAs) play a crucial role in the synthesis of micro- and mesoporous materials especially in the case of zeolites. Despite the wide use of OSDAs, their interaction with zeolite frameworks is poorly understood, with researchers relying on synthesis heuristics or computationally expensive techniques to predict whether an organic molecule can act as an OSDA for a certain zeolite. In this paper, we undertake a data-driven approach to unearth generalized OSDA-zeolite relationships using a comprehensive database comprising of 5,663 synthesis routes for porous materials. To generate this comprehensive database, we use natural language processing and text mining techniques to extract OSDAs, zeolite phases, and gel chemistry from the scientific literature published between 1966 and 2020. Through structural featurization of the OSDAs using weighted holistic invariant molecular (WHIM) descriptors, we relate OSDAs described in the literature to different types of cage-based, small-pore zeolites. Lastly, we adapt a generative neural network capable of suggesting new molecules as potential OSDAs for a given zeolite structure and gel chemistry. We apply this model to CHA and SFW zeolites generating several alternative OSDA candidates to those currently used in practice. These molecules are further vetted with molecular mechanics simulations to show the model generates physically meaningful predictions. Our model can automatically explore the OSDA space, reducing the amount of simulation or experimentation needed to find new OSDA candidates.

Abstract
In this work, a new zeolite named as ITQ-69, has been synthesized, characterized and its application as selective adsorbent for industrially relevant light olefins/paraffins separations has been assessed. This material has been obtained as pure germania as well as silica-germania zeolites with different Si/Ge ratios using a diquaternary ammonium cation as organic structure directing agent. Its structure was determined by single-crystal X-Ray diffraction showing a triclinic unit cell forming a tridirectional small pore channel system (8×8×8R). Also, it has been found that Si preferentially occupies some special T sites of the structure as deduced from Rietveld analysis of the powder X-ray diffraction patterns. In addition, the new zeolite ITQ-69 has been found to be stable upon calcination and thus, its adsorption properties were evaluated, showing a promising kinetic selectivity for light olefin separations in the C3 fraction.

Abstract
Molecular modeling plays an important role in the discovery of organic structure-directing agents (OSDAs) for zeolites. By quantifying the intensity of host-guest interactions, it is possible to select cost-effective molecules that maximize binding toward a given zeolite framework. Over the last few decades, a variety of methods and levels of theory have been used to calculate these binding energies. Nevertheless, there is no consensus on the best calculation strategy for high-throughput virtual screening undertakings. In this work, we compare binding affinities from density functional theory (DFT) and Dreiding force field calculations for 272 zeolite-OSDA pairs obtained from static and time-averaged simulations. Enabled by automation software, we show that Dreiding binding energies from the frozen pose method correlate best with DFT energies. They are also less sensitive to the choice of initial lattice parameters and optimization algorithms, as well as less computationally expensive than their time-averaged counterparts. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a broader exploration of the conformation space from molecular dynamics simulations does not provide significant improvements in binding energy trends over the frozen pose method despite being orders of magnitude more expensive. The code and benchmark data are open-sourced and provide robust and computationally efficient guidelines to calculating binding energies in zeolite-OSDA pairs.

Abstract
Five novel tetravalent thorium (Th) compounds that consist of Th(H2O)xCly structural units were isolated from acidic aqueous solutions using a series of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic hydrogen (H) bond donors. Taken together with three previously reported phases, the compounds provide a series of monomeric ThIV complexes wherein the effects of noncovalent interactions (and H-bond donor identity) on Th structural chemistry can be examined. Seven distinct structural units of the general formulas [Th(H2O)xCl8-x]x-4 (x = 2, 4) and [Th(H2O)xCl9-x]x-5 (x = 5-7) are described. The complexes range from chloride-deficient [Th(H2O)7Cl2]2+ to chloride-rich [Th(H2O)2Cl6]2- species, and theory was used to understand the relative energies that separate complexes within this series via the stepwise chloride addition to an aquated Th cation. Electronic structure theory predicted the reaction energies of chloride addition and release of water through a series of transformations, generally highlighting an energetic driving force for chloride complexation. To probe the role of the counterion in the stabilization of these complexes, electrostatic potential (ESP) surfaces were calculated. The ESP surfaces indicated a dependence of the chloride distribution about the Th metal center on the pKa of the countercation, highlighting the directing effects of noncovalent interactions (e.g., Hbonding) on Th speciation.
