Abstract
| - Computational chemistry is used here to rationalize zeolite nucleation and crystallization by means of atomisticmolecular mechanic techniques. It is shown that, by isomorphous substitution of Ge by Si, the relative rateof crystallization can be reversed in a series of zeolite structures that compete to nucleate and grow undercertain synthesis conditions. This is demonstrated for EU-1, ITQ-13, ITQ-22, and ITQ-24 structures.
