ITQ-27 (INSTITUTO DE TECNOLOG A QU MICA number 27) is a new crystalline
microporous material with a framework of tetrahedral atoms connected by
atoms capable of bridging the tetrahedral atoms, the tetrahedral atom
framework being defined by the interconnections between the tetrahedrally
coordinated atoms in its framework. ITQ-27 can be prepared in silicate
compositions with a organic structure directing agent. It has a unique
X-ray diffraction pattern, which identifies it as a new material. ITQ-27
is stable to calcination in air, absorbs hydrocarbons, and is
catalytically active for hydrocarbon conversion.
