Abstract
By using two different organic amines, n-methylpiperidine and 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DACH), as the structure-directing agents (SDAs), two magnesium aluminophosphate molecular sieves (C 6H 14N) 2[Mg 2Al 7(PO 4) 9] and (C 6H 14N 2) 1.4(H 2O) 2H 2[Mg 2Al 5(PO 4) 7], denoted as MgAPO-CJ67(a) and MgAPO-CJ67(b), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. They are the first example of Mg incorporated aluminophosphates with the LEV-zeotype structure. The magnesium and aluminum atoms co-occupy the same crystallographic positions in the frameworks of MgAPO-CJ67(a) and MgAPO-CJ67(b), but with different Mg/Al ratios of 1:3.5 and 1:2.5, respectively. MgAPO-CJ67(a) exhibits higher thermal stability upon calcination than MgAPO-CJ67(b), and its framework keeps intact after the removal of occluded organic SDAs. The N 2 adsorption on the calcined MgAPO-CJ67(a) sample gives the BET surface area of 386 m 2 g -1. NH 3-temperature programmed desorption (NH 3-TPD) analysis shows that MgAPO-CJ67(a) has a medium acidity.
