Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Microporous materials are in important class of industrial useful materials, with application in catalysis, ion exchange and adsorption processes. This proposal is aimed at producing new microporous materials using amine macrocycles as templates. This class of solid is extremely important in industry. This programme of work will extend previous work done, by myself and other groups, in the synthesis of zeolites and other microporous materials, using templates of high charge density to produce large pore materials. The materials to be synthesised belong to three families of compounds the aluminosilicate zeolites, the aluminium and gallium phosphates, and the gallium fluorophosphates. The prepared new materials will be characterised using diffraction and NMR techniques, their physical properties (e.g. thermal behaviour) studied and a preliminary survey of their catalytic and adsorption properties accomplished.
