An organic cation lacking specificity in its structure-directing action offers the possibility, through the screening of other structure-directing parameters, to synthesize a variety of zeolites. In this work we show that the organic structure-directing agent 2-isopropyl-1,3-dimethylimidazolium (2iPr13DMI) can produce up to seven different zeolite phases depending on water concentration, the presence of inorganic impurities, crystallization temperature and time, and germanium molar fraction. The obtained phases are very different in terms of pore system, connectivity of the zeolite structure and structural units. At the pure SiO
2 side, ZSM-12 and SSZ-35 dominate, with ZSM-12 being favored by the presence of potassium impurities and by less concentrated conditions. The introduction of Ge at low levels favors SSZ-35 over ZSM-12 and as the Ge fraction increases it successively affords CSV, -CLO and two distinct UOS zeolites, HPM-11 and HPM-6. These two zeolites have the same topology but distinct chemical compositions and display powder X-ray diffraction patterns that are much different from each other and from that of as-synthesized IM-16 (UOS reference material). They also show different symmetry at 96 K. Rietveld refinements of the three as-made UOS materials mentioned are provided. HPM-6 and HPM-11 are produced in distinct, non-adjacent crystallization fields. The frequent cocrystallization of the chiral STW zeolite, however, did not afford its synthesis as a pure phase. Molecular mechanics simulations of the location of the organic cation and host–guest interactions fail to explain the observed trends, but also considering the intrinsic stability of the zeolites and the effect of germanium help to rationalize the results. The study is completed by DFT calculations of the NMR chemical shifts of13 C in UOS (helping to understand splittings in the spectrum) and19 F in CSV (supporting the location of fluoride inside the new [44 52 ], which is an incomplete double 4-ring).

Aim: the objective of this study was to describe the results of the implementation of a home parenteral nutrition (HPN) care programme (Nutrihome©) in a cohort of patients treated at a tertiary hospital. Methods: retrospective study of the patients included in Nutrihome© at Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón, Madrid, Spain. Nutrihome consists of different modules including pre-discharge nursing hospital visits and nursing home visits, deliveries of the infusion pump, consumables and parenteral nutrition bags, patient training, weekly scheduled nursing home visits, scheduled nursing phone calls, stock control phone calls and 24-hour on-call line manned by the nurses. Results: the study included 8 (75 % women) and 10 (70 % women) patients in the Nutrihome© pilot and Nutrihome© programme, respectively. A total 37 adverse events were reported during Nutrihome© pilot, 26 of which were technical, 9 clinical, 1 was catheter-related and 1 other event. Nutrihome© programme registered a total of 107 adverse events reported, 57 of which were technical, 21 clinical, 16 were catheter-related and 13 were other events. A total of 99 % of these events were solved by Nutrihome© via phone calls or home visits. Conclusions: Nutrihome© programme has been extremely useful during this pandemic, facilitating both the start of HPN and training at the patient home without the need for hospitalisation. Additionally, the adverse events reported and solved by Nutrihome© not only reduced the physicians’ burden during those tough times and the patients´ stress of being hospitalised during a pandemic, but supported the entire healthcare system.

In recent years, the role of diet in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has gained great interest within the scientific community. Eating habits from industrialised countries (the so-called western diet or WD) have been associated with a higher incidence of IBD in observational studies, although the dietary factors responsible for the development of the disease are still to be elucidated. Some components of the diet with proinflammatory potential may cause changes in immunity and intestinal microbiota, leading to the inflammatory reaction that causes IBD-related lesions. The quality of available evidence is low, due to methodological issues, such as the lack of intervention studies, small sample size and heterogeneity of studies. For this reason, scientific societies have offered their recommendations using clinical practice guidelines and consensus documents, in order to establish a common criterion in the nutritional treatment of patients with IBD. The objective of this review was to summarise the data published regarding diet in IBD and review the recommendations given by scientific societies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HOST-guest chemistry ,CATIONS ,HYDROTHERMAL synthesis - Abstract
One common strategy in the search for new zeolites is the use of organic structure‐directing agents (OSDA). Typically, one seeks to achieve a high specificity in the structure‐directing effect of the OSDA. This study shows, however, that an OSDA lacking strong specificity towards any particular zeolite may provide opportunities for discovery when other synthesis parameters are systematically screened. Thus, 1‐methyl‐2‐ethyl‐3‐n‐propylimidazolium has allowed to crystallize the new large/medium pore zeolite HPM‐16 as well as the recently reported extra‐large pore ‐SYT and the medium/small pore and chiral STW. The sophisticated OSDA originally affording ‐SYT and the new simple OSDA have very little in common, both in terms of size, shape and flexibility, while both may still direct the synthesis of the same zeolite. In fact, molecular simulations show that the new OSDA is located in three different positions of the ‐SYT structure, including the discrete 8MR where the original organic could not fit.

THERMAL stability ,ELECTRON diffraction - Abstract
HPM‐16 is a highly porous germanosilicate zeolite with an interrupted framework that contains a three‐dimensional system of 12+10×10(12)×12+10‐membered ring (MR) pores. The 10(12) MR pore in the b direction is a 10 MR pore with long 12 MR stretches forming 30 Å long tubular supercages. Along one direction the 10 MR pores are fused, meaning that the separation between adjacent pores consists of a single tetrahedron that is, additionally, connected to only three additional tetrahedra (a Q3). These fused pores are thus decorated by T‐OH groups along the whole diffusion path, creating a hydrophilic region embedded in an otherwise essentially hydrophobic environment. The structure is built from highly porous 12×12×12 MR uninterrupted layers that are connected to each other through Q3 producing a second system of 10×10×10 MR pores. This zeolite can be extensively degermanated yielding a material with high thermal stability, despite its interrupted nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HPM‐14 is a new extra‐large pore zeolite synthesized using imidazolium‐based organic structure‐directing agents (SDAs), fluoride anions, and germanium and silicon as tetrahedral components of the framework. Owing to the presence of stacking disorder, the structure elucidation of HPM‐14 was challenging, and different techniques were necessary to clarify the details of the structure and to understand the nature of the disorder. The structure has been solved by three‐dimensional electron‐diffraction technique (3D ED) and consists of an intergrowth of two polymorphs possessing a three‐dimensional channel system, including an extra‐large pore opened through windows made up of sixteen tetrahedral atoms (16‐membered ring, 16MR) as well as two additional sets of odd‐membered (9MR) and small (8MR) pores. The intergrowth has been studied by scanning transmission electron microscopy (Cs‐STEM) and powder X‐ray diffraction simulations (DIFFaX), which show a large predominance of the monoclinic polymorph A.

ZEOLITES ,DISEASES - Abstract
The new zeolite NUD-3 possesses a three-dimensional system of large pore channels that is topologically identical to those of ITQ-21 and PKU-14. However, the three zeolites have distinctly different frameworks: a particular single 4-membered ring inside the denser portion of the zeolite is missing in PKU-14, disordered in ITQ-21 and fully ordered in NUD-3. We document these differences and use molecular simulations to unravel the mechanism by which a particular structure directing agent dication, 1,1′-(1,2-phenylenebis(methylene))bis(3-methylimidazolium), is able to orient this inner ring.

IDM‐1 is a new silica zeolite with an ordered and well‐defined framework constructed by alternating pentasil layers and interrupted layers, giving rise to an intersecting system of straight medium pores and undulating extra‐large lobed pores. This unique structure was solved by rotation electron diffraction and refined against synchrotron powder X‐ray diffraction data. Despite the presence of both Si(OSi)3(OH) and Si(OSi)2(OH)2 sites, this new zeolite presents high thermal stability, withstanding calcination even to 1000 °C. The location of defects at specific sites of the structure results in alternating hydrophobic SiO2 and hydrophilic SiO(2−x)(OH)2x intracrystalline regions. This peculiar combination of intersecting medium and extra‐large pores and alternating regions of different chemical character may provide this zeolite with unique catalytic properties.

X-ray powder diffraction - Abstract
HPM-7, a germanosilicate synthesized using long imidazolium-based dications with two different linkers, is shown to possess the POS topology, although disorder may exist but it is very difficult to discern. First, three simple ordered polymorphs (POS-A to POS-C) with very similar energies and structural motifs could give rise to intergrowths that would be very difficult to recognize by powder X-ray diffraction, according to DIFFaX simulations. Another four structures (POS-D to POS-G) can be derived from POS by changing the orientation of two single four rings within the structure, possibly providing an additional source of disorder. While 3D EDT strongly suggests that HPM-7 basically possesses the POS-A (i.e. POS) topology, a detailed HR-STEM study demonstrates the rare existence of some disorder compatible with the polymorph POS-D. The general avoidance of polymorphs with very similar structural motifs and comparable energies points to a rather specific structure-direction by the organic dications used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A short imidazolium based dication, with only three methylene units in the spacer linker, selectively directs the crystallization of zeolite HPM-12 (*UOE) as long as there is enough germanium present in the synthesis gel. The integrity of the dication is proved by dissolution of the zeolite and
1 H and13 C NMR spectroscopy, where significant effects of organic dication concentration and the presence and concentration of HF need to be taken into account. For the as-made HPM-12 zeolite, a large shift of 9 ppm of one resonance in the13 C MAS NMR spectrum is due to the particular conformation of the dication imposed by confinement in the zeolite framework, as found by DFT calculations. The structure-directing ability of this kind of dication with varying length of the linker suggests that matching of the distance between positive charges (imidazolium moieties) and negative charges (double four rings in which fluoride resides) plays a crucial role during crystallization.

As the spacer length in 1,2‐dimethylimidazolium‐based dications increases beyond a specific point (six methylene units), they fail in structure‐directing towards STW zeolites in any synthetic conditions. These dications can instead produce, under fluoride concentrated conditions, either *BEA [in the case of the eight‐methylene‐unit structure‐directing agent (SDA)] or MWW (ten methylene units) zeolites. For any length of the dication, the default zeolite (MTW) is a relatively dense zeolite containing a unidimensional channel, whereas the zeolite demanding most specificity (STW, *BEA or MWW) is more porous, affording a larger concentration of the dication to be occluded. This work provides the first reported fluoride synthesis of pure silica MWW zeolites. Charge balance of the organic dications in this zeolite was achieved by combining "structural" silanolates, regular "connectivity defects" and occluded fluoride. Molecular mechanics calculations showed a perfect fit of the decamethylenebis(dimethylimidazolium) dication in the sinusoidal intralayer pore system of MWW. The calculations showed also that the dication is able to stabilize the interlayer space without disturbing the hydrogen‐bonding system that holds the layers together in the as‐made material. The 19F magic‐angle spinning (MAS) NMR presented two distinct resonances at −71 and −83 ppm, which, on the basis of DFT calculations, we tentatively assigned to fluoride occluded in [4662] and [415262] cages of the MWW structure, respectively. The same DFT study determines a different chemical shift of one methyl 13C nuclear magnetic resonance according to the imidazolium ring residing in the sinusoidal channels or in the large cup cavities, thus explaining an experimentally observed splitting of that resonance. Pure silica MWW zeolite was synthesized for the first time through the fluoride route by using dimethylimidazolium‐based long dications in highly concentrated conditions. DFT calculations suggested that the F− anions reside in both [415262] and [4662] cages, giving rise to two distinct 19F NMR signals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The whole compositional range (Ge
f = Ge/(Ge + Si) = 0 to 1) of zeolite STW has been synthesized and studied by a comprehensive combined experimental–theoretical approach. The yield of the zeolite goes through a maximum and then drops at the GeO2 side of the series, following the inverse of the calculated free energy curve. The unit cell generally expands, roughly linearly, as the Gef increases, but a notable resilience to expansion is observed at the high silica side. This can be attributed to the more rigid character of SiO2 and the ability of Ge units to deform. Density functional theory calculations provide a new assignment of the previously controversial19 F MAS NMR resonances for occluded fluoride, which is based not only on the number of Ge atoms in the double-4-ring units but also on the way they are associated (namely, no Ge, isolated Ge, Ge pairs or closed Ge clusters). While we found an overall good agreement between the experimental and theoretical trends in preferential occupation of different crystallographic sites by Ge, the theoretical models show more sharp and abrupt tendencies, likely due both to limitations of the approach and to kinetic factors that allow metastable configurations to actually exist.

ZEOLITES ,SILICA ,CYCLOBUTANE - Abstract
Length-dependent structure direction of linear methylimidazolium-based dications towards MFI zeolite, previously known only for the tetramethylene spacer, has also been found for octamethylene and decamethylene spacers. This works only under highly concentrated conditions, whereas dilution always tends to favor TON, a default structure that is the only zeolite obtained with the other reported dications (with tri-, penta-, and hexamethylene spacers). The locations and conformations of the dications have been studied by molecular mechanics simulations. As longer dications introduce lower density of positive charges in the zeolite, the density of connectivity defects also decreases. Finally, these long dications cannot easily place each charged imidazolium ring in the two possible orientations (either parallel or perpendicular to 4MR close to F
− sites) found for the tetramethylene case. Hence, although the three MFI materials display two19 F NMR resonances at similar chemical shifts, their relative intensities strongly vary as a function of the spacer length. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Abstract: Molecular simulation, through the computation of adsorption isotherms, is a useful predictive tool for the selective capacity of nanoporous materials. Generally, adsorbents are modelled as rigid frameworks, as opposed to allowing for vibrations of the lattice, and this approximation is assumed to have negligible impact on adsorption. In this work, this approach was tested in an especially challenging system by computing the adsorption of the chiral molecules 2‐pentanol, 2‐methylbutanol and 3‐methyl‐2‐butanol in the all‐silica and germanosilicate chiral zeolites STW and studying their lattice vibrations upon adsorption. The analysis of single‐ and multicomponent adsorption isotherms showed the suitability of STW‐type zeolites as molecular sieves for chiral separation processes, which pose a challenging task in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Moreover, new experimental adsorption data validate the force field employed. The results reveal that the lattice vibrations of the all‐silica framework are sorbate‐independent, while those of germanosilicate STW show host–guest coupling modulated by uptake and sorbate type that disrupts the chiral recognition sites. This study indicates that the effects of intrinsic flexibility on the selective capacity of nanoporous materials may range from low to high impact, and some of them could not have been foreseen even after examination of the structural dynamics of an empty framework.

Lu, Peng, Gómez-Hortigüela, Luis, Xu, Lei, and Camblor, Miguel A.
- Abstract
Dications consisting of 1,2-dimethylimidazolium units linked by chains of 4, 5 or 6 methylene groups display structure direction towards the chiral zeolite STW as racemic conglomerates with decreasing strength as the length of the linker increases. A phase transformation from the denser and less strained MTW to the less dense and more strained STW reveals significant stabilization in the case of the 4-methylene dication, which is able to produce STW even in the absence of germanium (i.e., for a pure silica composition), and to a lesser extent for the 5-methylene derivative. When Ge is introduced in the synthesis the crystallization is easier and the crystallization field is wider, with Ge preferentially occupying positions at the double four ring units of the STW framework, as revealed by Rietveld refinement from synchrotron data. Quantum mechanics calculations show that the interaction energy diminishes as the length of the linker increases, in agreement with the experimental findings. In addition, calculation of the
13 C NMR chemical shieldings and comparison with experimental spectra allowed us to identify different conformations and orientations of the imidazolium rings in the asymmetric STW cavities, depending on the spacer length. An exploratory study strongly suggests that an asymmetric derivative with additional methyl groups at both sides of the tetramethylene chain could afford the crystallization of the homochiral zeolite even as a pure silica material.

HPM-5, a porous aluminosilicate with an intricate and so far unsolved structure, has been synthesized by using 1,2,3-trimethylimidazolium in hydroxide medium in the absence of fluoride anions. It consistently displays an ill-defined XRD pattern with broad and overlapped reflections and contains a large concentration of defects, as evidenced by IR and
29 Si MAS NMR spectroscopy.1 H MAS NMR spectroscopy confirmed the existence of highly deshielded protons (δ = -11.6 ppm) assigned to hydrogen atoms in relatively strong Si-O-H. . . .O-Si hydrogen bonds (O···O distance ≈ 2.64 Å) The calcined material shows limited microporosity (0.07-0.09 cm3 g -1 ). The results of a high-resolution transmission electron microscopy study suggest HPM-5 may be far more complicated than "standard" layered zeolites and may consist of low-density layers profusely decorated by holes. The resulting lace-like layers may be too unstable to withstand reactions characteristic of more conventional layered materials (both delamination and expansion by silylation); although the derivatives show an increase in the specific surface area, the layers are apparently disassembled and, at most, only ribbons remain.

zeolites with AST-topology causes reduction of the framework, hence structural destruction, in a notable extension. This is due to the impossibility for the organic cation occluded inside to react with ambient oxygen. As the temperature increases, reoxidation in air of the reduced framework causes episodes of weight-gain. When calcination is carried out in N2, weight losses close to 70% imply a loss of Ge due to sublimation of germanium monoxide, GeO. The nature of the organic cation occluded determines the nature and oxidation state of the final residue after calcination in N2: for tetramethylammonium the residue is GeO2 while trimethyl-terc-butylammonium, thanks to its larger C content, yields metallic Ge. Framework organoreduction is not unique to GeO2-AST zeolites but also occurs during the calcination in air of other germanium-containing zeolites with larger pore openings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The synthesis of microporous aluminophosphates using 1,2,3-trimethylimidazolium (123TMI) and fluoride produces three phases (HPM-3, PST-27 and triclinic AlPO
4 -34) depending on the amount of water and organic structure-directing agents in the synthesis mixture. Fluoride occluded in double 4-ring units was not detected by19 F MAS NMR spectroscopy in any product. While the structure of HPM-3 remains unknown, PST-27 has been determined to be a monoclinic version of AlPO4 -5 with a distorted and likely complex structure. Rietveld analysis using synchrotron diffraction data for as-made triclinic AlPO4 -34 reveals that each of its cha-cages holds two 123TMI cations, forming a displaced anti-parallel dimer with a short distance between aromatic rings (3.78 Å from center to center, 3.63 Å from plane to plane). This suggests that π–π interactions may play a role in the synthesis of this phase and related CHA-type systems. A study of the optical properties of PST-27, AlPO4 -34 and other materials containing 123TMI cations shows their complex fluorescence behavior, sometimes displaying a red-edge effect, i.e., a red shift of the fluorescence as the excitation wavelength is shifted toward the red edge of the absorption band. An absorption band at 291 nm appears only in the dimer-containing triclinic AlPO4 -34 and is sensitive to the introduction of Si into the framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

A synthesis of zeolite-like aluminogermanates using N,N,N-trimethyl-terc-butylammonium (TMTBA) and fluoride evolved from an initially crystallized zeolite with the AST Zeolite Framework Type and very little Al in it into an Al-free GeO2 phase with the same structure but a slightly smaller unit cell. In spite of both zeolites having the same framework type, same symmetry, a much similar unit cell size and almost the same framework composition, phase segregation occurred at intermediate crystallization times as the initial AST phase was gradually replaced by the new one. For reaction mixtures with a high Al content complete replacement of the large cell by the smaller cell phase was accomplished. The solids have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement from synchrotron diffraction data, multinuclear Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) of both intact and disolved solids and infrarred spectroscopy. The study reveals TMTBA can degrade under the crystallization conditions to initially yield triethylamine (tMA), whereas transmethylation between TMTBA and tMA produces tetramethylammonium (TMA), as probed by liquid NMR. The TMA cation can also structure-direct to AST zeolites but with a smaller unit cell volume and no Al in the framework. Phase segregation occurs despite the lack of structural mismatch because both crystallization events are decoupled, occurring at different moments and from largely different solutions. When both TMTBA and TMA cations are intentionally added at the start, no phase segregation but crystallization of a solid solution occurs instead. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
We have synthesized an aluminosilicate RTH-type zeolite with Si/Al = 10 using 1,2,3-trimethylimidazolium (123TMI
+ ) as an organic structure-directing agent (OSDA) together with Na+ or K+ in hydroxide media and without the use of seed crystals. The zeolite obtained is characterized by a cuboid morphology made of very small ill-defined crystallites, largely different from the plank-like morphology typically observed for RTH-type zeolite crystals thus far. More interestingly, we show experimental evidence demonstrating that two 123TMI+ ions are located within each [46 58 64 84 ] cavity of the RTH framework, forming antiparallel dimers, as found by Rietveld refinement. When hydrothermally aged at 1023 K, Cu-RTH is much less active for NO reduction with NH3 than Cu-SSZ-13, the best catalyst known for this reaction to date. However, while the CO2 uptake (3.2 mmol g−1 ) on Na-RTH at 298 K and 1.0 bar is lower than that (4.5 mmol g−1 ) on zeolite Na-Rho, a well-studied small-pore zeolite that selectively adsorbs CO2 , it exhibits much faster CO2 sorption kinetics. This renders our RTH zeolite potentially useful as a selective CO2 adsorbent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

VOLATILE organic compounds ,ZEOLITES ,SURFACE coatings ,MICROPOROSITY ,ADSORPTION capacity - Abstract
Silicone and pure organic binders were used to develop FAU-type zeolite coatings applied on pre-treated aluminum substrates by using a spraying method and then cured under specific conditions. The influence of the amount of binder on adhesion properties of zeolite coatings was first investigated to determine the optimum ratio between zeolite and binder. Zeolite coatings were then elaborated with a high zeolite content (between 70 and 80 wt.%) to ensure high adsorption capacities. The amount of binders involved in different zeolite coatings was sufficient to achieve interesting adhesion and cohesion properties. The accessibility of zeolite microporosity was studied by nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements, which revealed a very small or no loss of the micropore volume for the optimized coatings. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) adsorption measurements were carried out using n-hexane as probe molecule. FAU-type zeolite in powder form adsorbs 180 mg/g
anhydrous zeolite , whereas the amounts of n-hexane adsorbed by zeolite coatings ranged from 131 to 175 mg/ganhydrous zeolite . [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

ZEOLITES ,DISSOLUTION (Chemistry) ,SILICA - Abstract
Binderless pure silica zeolites (zeosils) spheres and hollow spheres with a diameter of 20 µm composed of silicalite-1 nanosheets particles were prepared by pseudomorphic transformation of spherical silica beads using different temperatures (110, 130, and 150 °C) and treatment times (1–5 days) in order to adapt the local dissolution rate of silica to the crystallization rate of silicalite-1 nanosheets allowing to preserve the initial morphology of the silica beads. Fully crystalline beads of 20 µm were obtained at 110 °C for 5 days, whereas hollow spheres similar in size were synthesized at higher temperatures. The crystallization process seems to begin at the outer surface of the amorphous silica beads and spreads with the time in the interior of the beads leading to a dissolution of the inner amorphous part of the beads to create zeosil hollow spheres for the highest treatment temperatures (130 and 150 °C). The dissolution rate of the inner amorphous part of the beads increases by increasing the hydrothermal treatment temperature from 130 to 150 °C. The silicalite-1 beads synthesized at 110 °C for 5 days showed to be promising for rapid molecular decontamination by adsorbing n-hexane in larger amount than the silicalite-1 conventional big crystals in powder forms.

Background: the underlying cause of the deficiency of ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OTCD) is a gene mutation on the X chromosome. In females, the phenotype is highly variable, ranging from asymptomatic to neurologic compromise secondary to hyperammonemia and it can be prompted by numerous triggers, including pregnancy. Objective: the objective of this article is to report a case of two pregnancies of an OTCD-carrier, and to review the literature describing OTCD and pregnancy, parturition and postpartum. Methods: an extensive search in PubMed in December 2021 was conducted using different search terms. After screening all abstracts, 23 papers that corresponded to our inclusion criteria were identified. Results: the article focuses on the management of OTCD during pregnancy, parturition, and the postpartum period in terms of clinical presentation, ammonia levels and treatment. Conclusions: females with OTCD can certainly plan a pregnancy, but they need a careful management during delivery and particularly during the immediate postpartum period. If possible, a multidisciplinary team of physicians, dietitians, obstetrician-gynecologist, neonatologists, pharmacists, etc. with expertise in this field should participate in the care of women with OTCD and their children during this period and in their adult life.
