Abstract
Numerous pieces of evidence in the literature suggest that zeolitic materials exhibit significant intrinsic flexibility as a consequence of the spring-like behavior of Si-O and Al-O bonds and the distortion ability of Si-O-Si and Al-O-Si angles. Understanding the origin of flexibility and how it may be tuned to afford high adsorption selectivity in zeolites is a big challenge. Zeolite flexibility may be triggered by changes in temperature, pressure, or chemical composition of the framework and extra-framework compounds, as well as by the presence of guest molecules. Therefore, zeolite flexibility can be classified into three categories: (i) temperature and pressure-induced flexibility; (ii) guest-induced flexibility; and (iii) compositionally-induced flexibility. An outlook on zeolite flexibility and the challenges met during the precise experimental evaluations of zeolites will be discussed. Overcoming these challenges will provide an important tool for designing novel selective adsorbents.

Abstract
The crystallographic pore sizes of zeolites are substantially smaller than those inferred from catalytic transformation and molecular sieving capabilities, which reflects flexible variation in zeolite opening pores. Using in situ electron microscopy, we imaged the straight channels of ZSM-5 zeolite with benzene as a probe molecule and observed subcell flexibility of the framework. The opening pores stretched along the longest direction of confined benzene molecules with a maximum aspect change of 15%, and the Pnma space group symmetry of the MFI framework caused adjacent channels to deform. This compensation maintained the stability and rigidity of the overall unit cell within 0.5% deformation. The subcell flexibility originates mainly from the topologically soft silicon-oxygen-silicon hinges between rigid tetrahedral SiO4 units, with inner angles varying from 135° to 153°, as confirmed by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations.

Abstract
This is a comparative study on the high-pressure behavior of microporous materials with an MFI framework type (i.e.natural mutinaite, ZSM-5 and the all-silica phase silicalite-1), based onin-situexperiments in which penetrating and non-penetrating pressure-transmitting media were used. Different pressure-induced phenomena and deformation mechanisms (e.g.pressure-induced over-hydration, pressure-induced amorphization) are discussed. The influence of framework and extra-framework composition and of the presence of silanol defects on the response to the high pressure of MFI-type zeolites is discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
The HP behavior of ALPO-34 as-synthesized was investigated by means of in-situ synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction, in the frame of a wider project aimed at understanding the role of the framework/extraframework content in the P-induced deformation mechanisms of natural and synthetic microporous materials with CHA framework topology. ALPO-34 compressibility under non-penetrating P-transmitting medium was determined up to 6.0 GPa and upon decompression to P
amb. After an initial large structure deformation at P < 0.4 GPa, a regular volume reduction was observed up to about 3 GPa. Above 3.1 GPa, an abrupt change in the behavior of all cell parameters was observed, accompanied by an evident decrease in compressibility. The isothermal Equation of State (EoS), refined with a II-order Birch–Murnaghan EoS from 0.4 to 3.1 GPa, yielded the following parameters: V
0 = 755(1) Å3, K
0 = 54(3) GPa. No complete X-ray amorphization was achieved up to the highest investigated P value. A complete reversibility of the unit cell parameters was observed upon P release. The compressibility behavior of ALPO-34 was compared with that of the other CHA-type zeolites. The volume reduction observed for natural chabazite, and for SAPO-34 and ALPO-34 as-synthesized, was 6.2%, 9.4%, and 6.0%, respectively. Notwithstanding the presence of morpholine molecules, as a structure directing agent, in the two as-synthesized phases, they exhibited significantly different compressibility. This can be interpreted as due to the octahedral coordination of part of the ALPO-34 framework aluminum, leading to a more rigid framework compared to that of SAPO-34, which contains only tetrahedral aluminum.
