A flexible sodalite-type metal organic framework [Cu(pyrimidine-2-olate)2]n (1R) is obtained in a self-assembly process involving Cu2+ ions and pyrimidine-2-olate ligands. 1R suffers a series of sequential and reversible structural changes upon solid-liquid sorption processes of metal nitrates. The 1C-to-1O transformation occurs only with large cations.

A silver(I) 3-D porous coordination polymer (PCP, 1) with a sodalite topology undergoes a remarkable reversible crystal-to-crystal expansion and contraction upon exposure to different solvents. Notably, complete desolvation of 1 also facilitates a transformation to a non-porous 2-D coordination polymer (2).

In this work, perlite was used as a low-cost source of Si and Al in the synthesis of sodalite zeolite using hydrothermal synthesis method. Cu2O nanoparticles were coated on a bed of sodalite zeolite and used as an adsorbent for removal of diazinon from aqueous solutions. To analyze the process, a significant variable .i.e. removal efficiency (%) of diazinon and three dependent parameters as the...

Global warming and environmental degradation have stimulated the drive towards capture of large point source carbon emissions reducing high energy intensity industrial processes. Mixed membranes infused with porosity silica sodalite are potential useful for pre-combustion CO2 capture. However, development quality mixed matrix is a challenge. In this study, (SSOD) polysulfone (PSF) were develope...

This study investigated the one-pot hydrothermal synthesis of mixed-phase ion-exchangers from waste amber container glass and three different aluminium sources (Si/Al = 2) in 4.5 M NaOH(aq) at 100 °C. Reaction products were characterised by X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 27Al 29Si magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy scanning electro...

Class F Fly ash-based geopolymers are prone to various high-temperature phenomena, such as cracking, spalling, and thermal shrinkage. Here we study the effect of enriching fly ash with synthetic sodalite phase in order enhance properties formed geopolymer. The morphological changes, compositional alterations porosity, gel behaviour, on deformation material after exposure up 1000 °C investigated...

X-ray powder methods have been used to study the room-temperature structures of the synthetic sodalites: Li8(AI6Si6024)CI2, KT.6Nao.4(A16Si6Oz4)CI2, and Nas(A16Si6024)I ~. Natural sodalite was also studied and the atomic coordinates show satisfactory agreement with those determined from the single-crystal data of L6ns and Schulz (1967). The LiC1and KCIas well as the NaCl-sodalites refined in th...
