There are still some copies
of the new editions of the Atlas
of Zeolite Framework Types and the Collection
of Simulated XRD Powder Patterns for Zeolites left over from
the 15th IZC in Beijing. They are being sold by the conference organizers
for $25 for the set of two
books plus shipping and handling. If you are interested, contact

Take a look at the
new Database
of Zeolite Structures |
| |
|
The Database
of Zeolite Structures has been completely redesigned to make
navigation more intuitive and to present the data in a new format.
Give it a test ride! The 3D drawings are especially entertaining...
Report any problems to Christian
Baerlocher. |

The Commission
on Natural Zeolites has published a datasheet on the properties
and occurrences of the natural zeolite Erionite on
their website |
| |
|
This is the first in a
series planned by the Commission |

Joseph V. Smith
1928-2007 |
It
is with great sadness that we report the death of Professor Joseph
V. Smith on April 6, 2007. His publications on zeolite structures
and framework achitectures have fascinated zeolite scientists for
almost 50 years, and will be sorely missed. He served as a consultant
and as a member of the Structure Commission of the IZA from its
inception in 1977 until 2001. Some more details on his life and
achievements have been compiled by the University
of Chicago, where he was the Louis Block Professor Emeritus
in Geophysical Sciences, and by Werner
H. Baur, a fellow zeolite crystallographer. |

New editions of the |
| |
Atlas
of Zeolite Framework Types |
| |
and
the |
| |
Collection
of Simulated XRD Powder Patterns for Zeolites |
| |
|
| |
will be distributed
as part of the registration package for the IZC-15 in
Beijing this August. |
| |
If you will not be
able to attend the IZC, but would still like to get copies of these
two books, you should contact your regional
Zeolite Association immediately to place an order. |
