Promoting effect of cyclic ethers in the layered silicate synthesis
One of the layered silicates RUB-15, having TMA (Tetramethylammonium) ions between the layers, was rapidly synthesized by using cyclic ethers. The reaction with cyclic ethers was 6 times faster than that without cyclic ethers. The other organic solvent did not produce RUB-15 in 5 days. The effect of cyclic ethers is investigated by Si-29 NMR.
