Abstract

This contribution reports new methodology we have developed for the disassembly of 3-D UTL framework into 2-D lamellae followed by structure modification including pillaring. This may be widely applicable, particularly to other zeolites that have D4R units present, and so should have great impact also on other porous solids. Specifically, controlled hydrolysis of D4R units in the interlayer space provides individual ultrathin layers with UTL structure by a chemically selective method. Further manipulation of the layers gives a completely novel approach (3D to 2D to pillared) offering hitherto unprecedented opportunities for the preparation of modified zeolites with diverse chemical and structural properties.
