[(CH3)4N][(C5H5NH)0.8((CH3)3NH)0.2]U2Si9O23F4 (USH-8): an organically templated open-framework uranium silicate.

The open-framework uranium fluorosilicate [(CH3)4N][(C5H5NH)0.8((CH3)3NH)0.2]U2Si9O23F4 (USH-8) has been synthesized hydrothermally by using tetramethylammonium hydroxide and pyridine-HF. The compound has a framework composition U2Si9O23F4 based on silicate double layers that are linked by chains of UO3F4 pentagonal bipyramids. The framework has 12-ring channels along [010] and 7-ring channels along [100]. The [010] 12-ring channels have a calabash-shape with the middle part partially blocked by the uranyl oxygen atoms. The narrow side of the 12-ring channels is occupied by well-ordered TMA cations while the wide side is occupied by disordered pyridinium and trimethylammonium cations.

Open-framework and microporous vanadium silicates.

A series of novel vanadium silicates with open-framework and microporous structures has been synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions. Ten distinct framework types have been identified that all have structures based on cross-linking single silicate sheets with square pyramidal V(IV)O(5) units to give compounds with the general formula A(r)[(VO)(s)(Si(2)O(5))(p)(SiO(2))(q)].tH(2)O, where A is Na, K, Rb, Cs, or a combination. The vanadosilicate (VSH-n) structures have free channel diameters up to 6.5 A and show good thermal stability, absorption, and ion-exchange properties, suggesting their potential for technological applications as molecular sieves or in catalysis.
