Abstract

The huge pool of hypothetical zeolites can be screened for likely candidates for successful targeted synthesis on the basis of a set of reliable criteria derived from the observation that the local interatomic distances in all existing zeolites strictly obey several rules. For example, the average T-T and T-O distances (<DTT> and <DTO>; T is Si, Al, P, or another element) in existing zeolites (graph region highlighted in cyan) have a linear relationship.
