Abstract
| - A new 10- and 12-membered ring zeolite, named ITQ-24, has been synthesized, and its structure has been solved. It has been found that this zeolite structure is topologically identical to that proposed for the hypothetical polymorph C of the SSZ-33/SSZ-26/CIT-1 family. This new zeolite has been achieved by using a rational approach of introducing Ge in the framework that has a directing effect toward zeolite structures with double-four-membered rings as secondary building units. Notoriously, active catalytic centers, such as Ti and Al, have been incorporated into this new zeolite, demonstrating that it is catalytically active for alkylation of aromatics.
