Abstract
Synthetic zeolites play an important role in catalysis and, in particular, they are widely used in the petroleum industry. Zeolites are alumosilicate frameworks with a well defined geometrical structure consisting of systems of channels and cavities up to 10Å in diameter. Figure 1 shows the structural arrangement of faujasite type zeolites, the synthetic forms X and Y of which are among the most frequently used zeolite catalysts (1). Each vertex in Figure 1 represents a tetrahedrally coordinated centre occupied by a silicon or aluminum atom, while each edge represents an oxygen bridge between two tetrahedral centres. The Roman numbers indicate the possible positions of charge compensating cations.
