A porous crystalline composition having a molar composition as follows:
YO.sub.2:m X.sub.2O.sub.3:n ZO, wherein Y is a tetravalent element
selected from the group consisting of silicon, germanium, tin, titanium
and combinations thereof, X is a trivalent element selected from the
group consisting of aluminum, gallium, boron, iron and combinations
thereof, Z is a divalent element selected from the group consisting of
magnesium, zinc, cobalt, manganese, nickel and combinations thereof, m is
between about 0 and about 0.5, n is between about 0 and about 0.5; and
the composition has an x-ray diffraction pattern which distinguishes it
from the materials. A process for making the composition, and a process
using the composition to treat an organic compound are also provided.
