Abstract

A new method for the solution of solid‐state structures—especially if the compounds can only be obtained as powders—is reported. A combination of electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and computer simulation of the lowest energy structure allowed the determination of the structure of the Mg‐ and Zn‐substituted forms of the catalytically active aluminophosphate MeALPO‐36. This novel structure has kinships with those of the aluminophosphate ALPO‐5 and the zeolite cancrinite Na₆[Al₆Si₆O₂₄]CaCO₃ · 2H₂O.
