This paper is concerned with the topological modifications induced by heating in microporous materials and with the rules obeyed by them. Two main characteristics are always present in these reconstructive processes: 1) they occur owing to the breaking of T-O-T bridges and the migration of the tetrahedral cations to new sites, which have three vertices as before, whereas the fourth vertex can be shared or unshared by another tetrahedron (“face sharing tetrahedra” process) 2) the T-O-T breaking occurs in the smallest ring in the structure (4- or 5-ring). Many factors can influence this process. Besides the topology, the chemical composition of the framework and extraframework, the synthesis conditions, also the heating modalities, either near or far from thermodynamic equilibrium conditions, can not only favour or prevent modification but also induce topologically different phases.

Abstract
This paper is concerned with the topological modifications induced by heating in microporous materials and with the rules obeyed by them. Two main characteristics are always present in these reconstructive processes: 1) they occur owing to the breaking of T-O-T bridges and the migration of the tetrahedral cations to new sites, which have three vertices as before, whereas the fourth vertex can be shared or unshared by another tetrahedron (“face sharing tetrahedra” process) 2) the T-O-T breaking occurs in the smallest ring in the structure (4- or 5-ring). Many factors can influence this process. Besides the topology, the chemical composition of the framework and extraframework, the synthesis conditions, also the heating modalities, either near or far from thermodynamic equilibrium conditions, can not only favour or prevent modification but also induce topologically different phases.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
