Abstract
ZSM-5 (refs 1, 2) is a member of a new class of shape selective catalysts which have unique channel structures with 10-membered ring openings. These catalysts have unusual properties. They can selectively convert methanol to high quality gasoline3–6 and are used in commercially significant processes, such as distillate dewaxing, ethylbenzene synthesis, xylene isomerisation and toluene disproportionation5,7 The framework of ZSM-5 (ref. 2) contains a novel configuration of linked tetrahedra consisting of eight five-membered rings. These configurational units may be linked through edges to form chains and the chains to form a three-dimensional framework which describes an intersecting channel system with openings intermediate between those in zeolite Linde type A and faujasite. We report here the synthesis and structure of another member of this family, ZSM-11.
