Abstract:
A new aluminosilicate zeolite, denoted EMM-37, with a 3D small pore channel system, has been synthesized using a diquaternary ammonium molecule as the structure directing agent (SDA) and metakaolin as the aluminum source. The structures of both as-made and calcined forms of EMM-37 were solved and refined using continuous rotation electron diffraction (cRED) data. cRED is a powerful method for the collection of 3D electron diffraction data from submicron- and nanosized crystals, which allows for successful solution and refinement of complex structures in symmetry as low as P1̅.

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a technique used in materials science for determining the atomic and molecular structure of a material. This is done by irradiating a sample of the material with incident X-rays and then measuring the intensities and scattering angles of the X-rays that are scattered by the material. The intensity of the scattered X-rays are plotted as a function of the...
