Compendium of Zeolite Framework Types - Building Schemes and Type Characteristics

This book shows how zeolites can be built using simple building units. It offers: description of the channels and cages in all zeolites known to date; and survey of those channels and cages that appear in more than one zeolite. This compendium describes all known zeolite framework types within a two page layout for each type.

The first page gives a pictorial description of how the framework can be built using Periodic Building Units, while the second page shows the larger cages, cavities and/or channels in the zeolite framework together with the framework type codes in which they appear. In addition, two appendices are included for easy-referencing. "The Compendium of Zeolite Framework Types" contains complementary information to the data in the "Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types" (Baerlocher et al (2001) Elsevier, London).

The latter contains the topological symmetry, unit cell data and pore dimensions. Both these titles are useful information sources for anyone working in the field.
