SYNTHESIS OF MICROPOROUS GALLIUM PHOSPHATES FROM QUASI NONAQUEOUS SYNTHESIS MIXTURES

For the first time the gallium phosphate cloverite is synthesized from amine-based synthesis mixtures. In the quasi non-aqueous synthesis mi xtures, the water/organic solvent molar ratio is determinant for the t ype of the crystalline phase obtained. The overall concentration and, in particular, the water concentration of the system influence to a gr eat extent the nature and the yield of the crystallizing phase.
