UiO-6: a novel 12-ring AlPO₄, made in an inorganic–organic cation system

Abstract

A new molecular sieve type material UiO-6 is prepared and its structure solved through a combination of simulated annealing, used to isolate the framework topology, and Rietveldt refinement, to verify the suggested topology; the structure has been approved and given the IUPAC code OSI by the Structure Commission of the International Zeolites Association.
