title: RMA-3: synthesis and structure of a novel Rb-aluminosilicate zeolite.
abstract: RMA-3 (Rubidium Microporous Aluminosilicate-3) was hydrothermally synthesized from rubidium-aluminosilicate gels without using any organic or inorganic additives, and its structure determined by XRD Rietveld analysis was confirmed as a novel framework topology containing two 8-membered ring pore-openings with dimensions of 0.49 x 0.37 nm and 0.34 x 0.38 nm.
