Abstract: To obtain large perfect crystals of zeolites, pyrocatechol as an additive was added into the two system: SiO2-NaOH-EG-R and SiO2-TPABr-NaOH-R-H2O (R: pyrocatechol, EG: ethylene glycol). Experimental results showed that the crystals synthesized in the presence of pyrocatechol have much larger size and better morphology than those synthesized in the absence of pyrocatechol. The role of pyrocatechol in the hydrothermal reaction mixture has been characterized by 29SiNMR, IR, and UV-V is spectroscopy, and it was shown that silicon pyrocatechol complex was formed in the reaction system.

Key words: Silica-sodalite, Silicalite-1, Large single crystals, Pyrocatechol, Silicon-pyrocatechol complex
