The synthesis of Fe-MCM-22 zeolite is reported for the first time. Its stru
cture and characteristics are similar to those of the MCM-22 zeolite. The a
luminum is in a framework tetrahedral position in the [Fe,Al]-MCM-22 sample
s. The white color of the samples, the increase of the Si-29 and Al-27 NMR
linewidths with increasing Fe content and the constancy of the (Fe+Al)/u.c.
values all suggest that Fe is also incorporated in tetrahedral position of
the framework. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
