Abstract

(Figure Presented) A new zeotype structure with 3D intersecting 10-ring channels is found in [Ni(en)3][Ga2Ge4O 12] (denoted GaGeO-CJ63, en=ethylenediamine). Its framework (see picture) is constructed exclusively by 3-rings, and the framework density is the second lowest among all known zeolite structures. One of the two kinds of cages in GaGeO-CJ63 is chiral and its chirality comes from the Δ and Λ enantiomers of occluded [Ni(en)3]2+.
