Abstract

A new aluminosilicate zeolite, denoted EMM-37, with a 3D small pore channel system, has been synthesized using a diquaternary ammonium molecule as the structure directing agent (SDA) and metakaolin as the aluminum source. The structures of both as-made and calcined forms of EMM-37 were solved and refined using continuous rotation electron diffraction (cRED) data. cRED is a powerful method for the collection of 3D electron diffraction data from submicron- and nanosized crystals, which allows for successful solution and refinement of complex structures in symmetry as low as P1.
