Chemistry: The promise of emptiness
Raul F. Lobo1
Abstract
Zeolites are materials with widespread applications. A newly synthesized example has desirably large pores, as well as the virtue of thermal stability, and shows the value of structure-prediction programs.
A microporous crystalline silicate with exceptionally large pores and great potential as an industrial catalyst is described on page 842 of this issue1. This zeolite is dubbed ITQ-33, and has been discovered by Avelino Corma and co-workers in Valencia.
