要旨

Periodic density functional calculations on zeolite Na-MAP are presented. These calculations used a preliminary model obtained from X-ray powder diffraction as starting point and fully optimized the atom positions within the unit cell. It is shown that the structure obtained in the calculation reproduces the observed powder diffraction pattern better than the preliminary model and that internal coordinates are closer to values known from other zeolites. The structural model predicted proved useful for further refinement of the experimental data. The framework of the anhydrous structure is 43 kJ (mol NaSiAlO4)−1 more stable than the framework of the hydrated structure as long as there are no water molecules present.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
