Abstract: Something big in zeolites Zeolites, microporous aluminosilciates with a cage-like framework, are industrially important in catalysis and separation. The bigger the pore size that can be achieved in a zeolite, the bigger and more complex the reactant molecules that can be accommodated for catalytic or other purposes. A new zeolite landmark is reported in this issue, the synthesis of ITQ-37, a new germanosilicate zeolite with the largest pores to date, about 25 Å across. Materials with pores of this size have previously been mostly amorphous. ITQ-37 has a single-channel system, so that the pores are readily accessible, and has chiral pores, useful for the separation of enantiomorphic molecules.
