Outline of Final Research Achievements

The goal of this study is to create new chiral microporous crystals, i.e. chiral zeolites. I have tried to hydrothermally synthesize Beta Zeolite in the presence of chiral structure-directing agents. To achieve the goal, I have applied three strategies below.　Strategy 1: Synthesis of Beta zeolite with chiral additives under OSDA-free-like conditions. Strategy 2 : Synthesis of Beta zeolite by HF method in the presence of chiral ammonium salts. Strategy 3: Post-synthetic conversion of polymorphic pure-silica Beta zeolite into monomorphic ones in the presence of chiral amine molecules.
Through this study, unfortunately, I did not succeed in perfectly preparing novel chiral zeolites. However, thus obtained findings is very useful for further research regarding chiral microporous crystals.
