IRPM-1: A Recyclable Nanoporous Material Suitable for Ship-In-Bottle Synthesis and Large Hydrocarbon Sorption

摘要

Zeolites and related molecular sieves, which contain rigid frameworks and accessible internal channels and/or cagges, have been dominating the porous material world for a long time, because of their widespread applications in catalytic and separation science.~[1,2] Although there is an increasing demand for materials with tunable structures, the structural design of zeolites is limited by their requirement for tetrahedral oxide skeletons. Another impediment in the applications of zeolites is the difficulty in framework dis-solution or removal, which is required for ship-in-bottle synthesis.~[3] In such a reaction, synthesis is conducted within the internal surface (bottle) for some technical reason. In most of these cases, concentrated acids or bases must be used to "break the bottle" that is, to remove or dissolve the host framework. Such a harsh processes may not only rupture the framework but also cause severe damage to the products.~[4,5]
