News from the IZA Synthesis Commission
| The mission of the IZA Synthesis Commission is to organize and structure the vast body of zeolite synthesis literature to enhance its accessibility and usefulness for the global scientific community. |
| 05-Nov-25 | New Members of the IZA Synthesis Commission | |||
| The Commission is pleased to welcome the following new members, who bring exceptional expertise and global representation to the team: | ||||
| Dr. Peng Lu,
Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology, Chinese
Academy of Sciences, China Dr. Koki Muraoka, University of Tokyo, Japan Prof. Heloise Pastore, Instituto de Química, UNICAMP, Brazil Dr. Jiho Shin, Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), Center for Convergent Chemical Process, Korea Prof. Zhengxing Qin, China University of Petroleum (UPC), Qingdao, China |

| 03-Nov-25 | 4th Edition of the Verified Syntheses of Zeolitic Materials | |||
| The 4th Edition
of the Verified Syntheses of Zeolitic Materials introduces
a significant set of updates that broaden the scientific scope and
improve the usability of this essential reference. This new edition includes 31 new synthesis recipes,contributed by 21 researchers. All new syntheses were independently verified ensuring reproducibility and reliability. Among the highlights are 14 novel zeolite syntheses, including three recently discovered extra-large pore aluminosilicates: ZMQ-1, DON, and JZO. The new collection encompasses small, medium, and large pore zeolites, many featuring topologies not represented in earlier editions. Recipes using both hydroxide and fluoride synthesis routes are included, providing valuable methodological diversity. In addition, 17 existing zeolite recipes have been enriched with alternative synthesis protocols, offering variations in: - Chemical composition
- Crystal size
- Synthesis duration
- Crystallization temperature
- Organic Structure-Directing Agents (OSDAs)
All new and modified recipes were formatted for clarity and verified using an XRDynamic 500 diffractometer, yielding high-resolution XRD spectra that surpass those of previous editions. A new preface has been prepared for this edition, introducing the contributors and reflecting on the broader scientific context of these updates. The entire document was reformatted for improved readability. |

| 1. | The Synthesis Commission prepared the 3rd
edition of the book "Verified Syntheses of Zeolitic Materials" ISBN: 978-0-692-68539-6 |
|||
| 2. | The Synthesis Commission will continue to enlarge the
collection of zeolite recipes and will include new phases of
interest. Please send your proposal to synthesis@iza-online.org |
|||
| 1-Nov-13 | Call for proposals for the next edition of Verified Syntheses of Zeolitic Materials | |||
| The compilation of the third edition of
the "Verified Syntheses of Zeolitic Materials" book is underway. We
invite all members of the IZA to help us identify zeolites of
interest that should be considered for verification and inclusion in
the book. Please send your proposal to Svetlana Mintova at svetlana.mintova@ensicaen.fr. Deadline for sending proposals for new zeolite synthesis verification: 23-December-2013 |
||||
| 25-Aug-13 | At the 17th IZC held in Moscow in July | |||
| 10 new members joined the Synthesis Commission: | ||||
| Jiri Cejka Suk Bong Hong Qisheng Huo Yoshihiro Kubota Gregory Lewis |
Svetlana Mintova Jean-Louis Paillaud Fernando Rey Wieslaw Roth Jihong Yu |
|||
| They will join the previous members: | ||||
| Kenneth Balkus Roberto Millini Wilhelm Schwieger |
David Vaughan Steve Wilson Stacey Zones |
|||
| The new officers are: | ||||
| Svetlana Mintova (Chair) Gregory Lewis (Vice-Chair) |
||||
| A third edition of Verified Syntheses of Zeolitic Materials is planned | ||||
| for the 18th IZC that will be held in 2015 in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil. The idea is to make reproducible recipes for zeolite synthesis easily available to the zeolite community. The Commission welcomes input from the zeolite community as to which materials should be added to the existing ones. You are encouraged to contact any of the members of the Synthesis Commission (e-mail addresses can be found here) with suggestions. |
