Study of Fe sites in the framework of large pore FeAlPO-5 synthesized from different templates

► Investigate the influence of template on the state of iron in the prepared samples. ► With different templates, coordination of Fe changes from VI to IV at different t°C. ► Different template doesn't affect the nature of Fe sites. ► Different template leads to different behaviors of Fe ions in redox chemistry. ► Different templates affect mechanism of crystal growth.
