Abstract

New and ordered 2D-hexagonal (p6mm) mesoporous aluminosilicates (CMI-11) have been synthesized in strongly alkaline media using aluminosilicate ester ((BusO)2-Al-O-Si-(OEt)3) as single-source molecular precursor and CTMABr as surfactant and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption–desorption and 27Al and 29Si MAS NMR spectroscopy. These mesoproous aluminosilicates exhibit a very low Si/Al ratio of 1.9 and highly thermal stable tetrahedral aluminum sites in the mesoporous walls. 27Al and 29Si MAS NMR spectroscopy indicates that the pore walls of CMI-11 are fully condensed with molecular homogeneity of Si–O–Al linkage. These materials are highly important in catalysis, in particular for the petroleum processing and the bulky molecules treatment.
