Aluminophosphate molecular sieve AlPO4-5RT (AlPO4-5, prepared at room temperature) have been synthesized using hexamethyleneimine template at room temperature for the first time. Gel composition Al2O3 : P2O5 : 1.16HEM : 45H(2)O aging for 12 h at room temperature, and in 24 h, 473 K are the standard reaction conditions for synthesis of AlPO4-5. Studies on above gel composition at room temperature shows the presence of AlPO4-5 crystals. Both the aluminophosphates have been characterized by elemental analysis, XRD, SEM, FT-IR, TG/DTA, and C-13, Al-27 and P-31 MASNMR techniques. XRD analysis of AlPO4-5RT shows that the presence of low intensed pseudobochmite sample. SEM shows the morphology nanosized crystals along with platelets. TG/DTA analysis reveals the presence of maximum five stages elimination of templates. Carbon and nitrogen analysis shows that the presence of four template molecules per unitcell. C-13 MASNMR analysis shows the interaction of template with structure of the framework. Al-27 MASNMR shows the presence of small amount of octahedral co-ordination besides the rest are in tetrahedral co-ordination. P-31 MASNMR shows the presence of two environmentally different tetrahedrally co-ordinated phosphorous atoms.

Zirconium incorporated alurninophosphate molecular sieves ZrAPO-11 was synthesized by hydrothermal method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), diffuse reflectance UV-visible spectroscopy, magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy (P-31 and Al-27). The acidity of the materials were determined by temperature programmed desorption (TPD) of ammonia. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy reveals formation of crystalline material in pure phase. Thermal analysis shows higher template content in zirconium containing samples than the corresponding AlPOs. MAS NMR suggests incorporation of zirconium in the framework. TPD reveals that the ZrAPO-11 samples were of higher acidity than AIPO(4)-11 (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
