Abstract

Ferrierite synthesis from gels containing a mixture of two template molecules, in the absence of inorganic cations and in fluoride media, is described. One of them is a bulky structure-directing agent (SDA), 1-benzyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium cation (bmp), and the other one is a small organic cation acting as a co-template. We present here the results obtained with tetramethylammonium (TMA) and quinuclidinium (Qui) compounds as co-templates in a gel containing bmp cation as SDA. It has been observed that in both cases co-templates exert a marked effect on the nature of the synthesis products.
