Facile assembly of zeolite monolayers on glass, silica, alumina, and otherzeolites using 3-halopropylsilyl reagents as covalent linkers

Perfect one-dimensional orientation of zeolite microcrystals on glass can b e obtained with very high surface coverage (see Figure), as demonstrated he re. The approach, which involves covalently linking the zeolite to the glas s, is highly efficient and can be extended to the assembly of zeolite cryst als on other supports, such as silica, alumina, and other zeolites.
