Abstract

This project aims at preparing the delaminated zeolite with structural vanadium, the V-ITQ-2. This material will be prepared from V-MCM-22, whose synthesis was communicated in the literature for the first time by our research group, last year. During the first year of her work, Ms. Graciola developed an alternative methodology for the exfoliation of these materials, which allowed the preparation of ITQ-2 in pure phase and with larger yield. This new methodology will be applied to the V-MCM-22 to prepare V-ITQ-2.
