Rational design and HT techniques allow the synthesis of new IWR zeolite polymorphs.
By combining a rational design of structure directing agents and high throughput and data mining techniques, it has been possible to obtain Ge-free ITQ-24 as pure silica as well as borosilicate polymorphs up to a Si/TIII ratio of 10. Al can be exchanged by B giving strong acid materials. Also, the availability of the pure silica material allows one to determine more precisely the crystal symmetry. This work opens the possibility to synthesize the Ge-free polymorphs of a large number of new germanosilicate structures reported in the last five years. This certainly will increase their possibilities for industrial application.
