Abstract
A computational method for design of zeolite frameworks has been developed through constrained assembly of atoms around a predefined channel structure. The forbidden zones, corresponding to a porous pattern, are first defined in a unit cell and then atoms are placed outside of the forbidden zones based on specified symmetry and distance constraints. Employing this method, a number of known zeolite frameworks, as well as new hypothetical frameworks, especially with cross-linked channels, can be generated.
