Synthesis and characterization of novel mesoporous aluminosilicate MCM-41 containing aluminophosphate building units.

Novel MCM-41 aluminosilicate/aluminophosphate materials that exhibit good mesostructural ordering have been synthesized and characterised; the synthesis of these silicoaluminophosphates involved the use of gel mixtures containing amorphous mesoporous aluminosilicate and aluminophosphate phases as precursor.
