Structure and dynamics of zeolite frameworks and adsorbates

Abstract
Zeolites represent an intriguing class of materials composed of infinite networks of silicon and aluminum atoms interconnected by oxygen atoms. The crystals of such materials often contain significant void space consisting of open cages and/or cylindrical pores. Aluminum and silicon are four-coordinate, which means in practice that charge-compensating cations are present in the void space to take into account the fact that aluminum is usually three-coordinate.
