Synthesis and crystal structure analysis of a novel strontosilicate AES-19 having two dimensional eight-membered ring micropores

A novel microporous strontium-containing silicate material AES-19 was successfully synthesized by mechanochemical method in which a precursor material was prepared through the solid-phase mechanochemical reaction of parent materials and crystallized by the hydrothermal treatment in an alkaline solution. The crystal structure analysis demonstrated that AES-19 was composed of a unique silicate layer having a two-dimensional eight membered ring micropore system and that interlayer six-coordinated strontium atoms connected the silicate layers.
