title = "On the intergrowth structure of zeolite crystals as revealed by wide field and confocal fluorescence microscopy of the template removal processes",
abstract = "The internal structures of four different zeolite materials: ZSM-5 (MFI structure), CrAPO-5 (AFI structure), SAPO-34 (CHA structure) and SAPO-5 (AFI structure) molecular sieves have been revealed by a new approach based on in-situ mapping of the template-removal process in individual zeolite crystals. The formation of light-absorbing and emitting species during the heating process has been monitored by a combination of wide field and confocal fluorescence microscopy. A three-dimensional distribution of the fluorescent intermediates formed during the template decomposition process allowed to visualize the architecture of the different micron-sized crystals under study. Since the accessibility of the porous network in the different subunits comprising the crystals varies the individual building blocks can be distinguished by monitoring the template-removal process in time.",
