Open-framework germanates - A study of nets and tilings

Journal article

A series of open-framework germanates, alumino- and silico-germanates were synthesized (denoted as SU-n). Most of them were built from a few types of inorganic clusters containing a well-defined number of polyhedra: Ge3O9 (4=1), Ge4O16 (D4R) and larger clusters including 7, 9 and 10 Ge atoms (named Ge7, Ge9, Ge10 clusters, respectively). Different arrangements and combinations of these clusters resulted in different open-framework structures including several novel zeolite frameworks. Here, we examine the different underlying nets and tilings observed in germanate-based compounds synthesized by our group and others. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
