Abstract:

By heating the initial mixture with the molar composition of n(Al2O3):n(P2O5):n(R):n(H2O)=1:1:1:277(R=methylamine or dimethylamine) at 200 ℃, highly crystalline three-dimensional anionic open-framework aluminophosphate of AlPO4-53 or AlPO4-21 was obtained. Protonated methylamine and dimethylamine were located in the framework of AlPO4-53 and AlPO4-21 to balance the negative charge of the framework, respectively. The crystallization processes of both initial mixtures were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD), elemental analysis and pH measurement. Theoretical calculation shows that the charge on the N atom of protonated methylamine and dimethylamine is -0.263 and -0.558 e(Mulliken), respectively. The corresponding formal charge density is 22.3 and 16.0 e/nm3, respectively. The framework charge density of AlPO4-53 and AlPO4-21 is -3.3 and -3.1 e/nm3, respectively. These results indicate that the environment change around N atom can affect the amount of charge on it, which accordingly affects its structure-directing ability. A charge matching between the formal charge density of organic amines and the framework charge density was observed.
