Incorporation of germanium into a zeolite framework allows the synthesis of
Ti-Ge-ITQ-7 without seeding in < 12 h, instead of 12 days when seeding or
> 40 days without seeding for the Ge-free ITQ-7; the synthesis reported als
o increases the efficiency of Ti incorporation and allows the preparation o
f almost nanocrystaline Ti-ITQ-7 materials with a corresponding beneficial
effect on the final catalytic activity.
