An empirical atom pair potential for aluminosilicates including coulom
bic interactions explicitly, and suitable for molecular dynamics simul
ations, has been tested on an aluminium-free molecular sieve (silicali
te) and on the anhydrous aluminium-rich zeolite A, containing Na or Ca
cations. This represents a first step towards a realistic potential t
hat is able to reproduce the details of the structure and dynamics of
aluminosilicates. The results are in reasonable agreement with experim
ental data, both structural (taken from the literature) and spectrosco
pic (most of which are new). For structures showing disordered extrafr
amework ion distributions, point-charge models are insufficiently accu
rate and polarization effects should be taken into account. Previously
proposed model potentials are discussed.
