    The structural transformations of periodic structures are very often initiated by the dynamical fluctuation of the equilibrium structure. The natural mechanical excitations in crystals are called phonons. If the energy of these fluctuations is low, they can easily be transformed into static deformations which define new structural properties of the materials. This is the case in so called gate opening transformations which modify the structure and the adsorptive properties of porous solids. Using the example of three SOD-type zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) containing linker molecules with different substituents, we show that analysis of low-frequency phonons obtained from density-functional theory (DFT) calculations allows one to model the observed gate opening and to understand the microscopic mechanism of this structural transformation.

    Nickel-containing hybrid ceramics derived from polysiloxanes with hierarchical porosity for CO2 methanation
    Nickel-containing hybrid ceramics were prepared by pyrolytic conversion from either methyl or methyl-phenyl polysiloxanes mixed with bistrimethoxysilylpropylamine (BisA) as a complexing agent and nickel salt. Materials with tailorable characteristics were generated by varying the pyrolysis temperature from 400 up to 600 °C in order to evaluate their applicability in the CO2 methanation. The materials were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms (BET-BJH), water and n-heptane adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In-situ X-ray diffraction analysis (in-situ XRD) was used to evaluate the Ni particle structure and size during a simulated catalytic reaction. Porous hybrid ceramics (ceramers) with high specific surface areas (100–550 m2 g−1), hydrophobic or hydrophilic surfaces and different Ni particle sizes (4–7 nm) were obtained by varying the pyrolysis temperature and polysiloxane composition. The pyrolytic conversion of polysiloxanes combined with the complexing amino-siloxane BisA not only permitted a good dispersion of the Ni nanoparticles but also enabled the formation of hierarchical porosity with micro-, meso- and macropores. Regarding the catalytic performance, ceramers prepared from methyl polysiloxane exhibited a more hydrophobic surface and improved catalytic performance compared to the ones prepared from methyl-phenyl polysiloxane. A negative effect on the catalytic performance of ceramers was observed with increasing pyrolysis temperatures, which led to an increase in Ni particle size (from 4 to 7 nm), and lower levels of conversion and selectivity. The ceramers pyrolyzed at 400 °C exhibited the best catalytic performance, showing selectivity up to ∼77% and good stability over a 10 h test, during which the Ni particle size was preserved.

    A comparative experimental study on the deviation of the ideal selectivity in HDTMS-functionalized and untreated ceramic structures with pores in the upper mesoporous range
    Mesoporous ceramic capillary membranes with mean pore sizes of about 20 nm are prepared as model structures to investigate the influence of an altered surface chemistry on the flow behavior of gases. To modify the membrane surface, a wet chemical silanization process with hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) is used to gain an alkyl-functionalized surface. Structural and surface characterizations show that the surface chemistry is altered without affecting the mean pore diameter. For the non-functionalized membrane, single gas permeation measurements at 20 °C reveal ideal permselectivities which are in good agreement with the Knudsen theory. In contrast, the HDTMS-functionalized membrane shows permselectivities regarding carbon dioxide (CO2) which deviate about 20% from Knudsen theory. The gas permeation measurements further indicate a relative flow enhancement for CO2 in comparison to nitrogen (N2), argon (Ar) and methane (CH4). Adsorption and desorption isotherms of CO2 and N2 at 20 °C show a decreased specific adsorption capacity for both gases, while the adsorption selectivity for CO2/N2 is increased. This indicates a weaker interaction of gas molecules and membrane surface due to HDTMS functionalization. This weaker gas–solid interaction along with the increased adsorption selectivity is proposed as reason for the experimentally observed deviation of the permselectivities from Knudsen theory.

    Disordered but primitive gallosilicate hydro-sodalite: Structure and thermal behaviour of a framework with novel cation distribution
    The structure of a new gallosilicate sodalite |Na6.16(1)(H2O)8|[Ga1.04(1)Si0.96(1)O4]6 described in space group with lattice parameter a = 885.208(7) pm is reported. For such a sodalite with a deviation from a 1:1 ratio in the framework cations a body-centred structure in space group could be expected. The structure shows structural stress resulting from this unusual substitution by a high strain visible in reflections which are forbidden by symmetry in . Distinct amounts of Ga and Si are redistributed on the opposite crystallographic position. The second coordination sphere of Si was examined by 29Si MAS NMR, the absence of OH− in the sodalites cages was checked by FTIR- and Raman spectroscopy. The intensity distribution of MAS NMR signal is modelled using a new technique to calculate the framework metal second neighbour coordination. The confirmed distribution leads to a low thermal stability of the cubic sodalite indicated by a new intermediated phase which could be regarded as a triclinic distorted cancrinite with three-time increased c lattice parameter. This intermediate phase decomposes at around 1000 K to a beryllonite-type sodium gallosilicate.
