The hydrothermal syntheses of AM-1 were carried out from gels of the following molar composition: 5–6 Na2O, 1–1.3 TiO2, 10 SiO2, 675 H2O. In a typical synthesis, 2.96 g of SiO2 (Merck) was added to a solution of 2.2 g NaOH (Merck) in 40 ml distilled water. Then the solution was brought to the boiling point. Subsequently, 0.66 ml TiCl4 (Merck) hydrolyzed in 20 ml distilled water was added to the above solution. After cooling to room temperature the mixture was homogenized for 40 min by a mechanical mixer at 200 rpm. The gel was then transferred into 250 ml teflon-lined autoclaves. The crystallization was performed under static conditions at 473 K for 24 h. After fast cooling with flowing H2O the samples were filtered and washed with distilled water and dried at 323 K overnight.
The structure model of Roberts et al. (1996) was originally used as a starting model, but the coordinates had to be standardized in order to achieve a connected set of atoms. A Flack parameter of -0.01 (6) shows that the crystal was not racemically twinned. The H atom was refined freely.
The first synthesis of the layered, non-centrosymmetric titanosilicate AM-1 (chemical formula Na4Ti2Si8O22·4H2O) was reported by Anderson et al. (1995). However, later independent work of Roberts et al. (1996) and Du et al. (1996) reported the same compound with the name JDF-L1 and described a new synthesis approach, as well as a crystal- structure determination. The layered character of AM-1 allows pillaring and intercalation with different organic molecules that can provide certain catalytic properties.
The crystal structure of AM-1 was originally determined by ab initio methods from synchrotron powder X-ray data (Roberts et al., 1995), but the position of the H atom could not be located. Here we report for the first time the successful hydrothermal growth and structure refinement of AM-1 single crystals. The refined single-crystal unit-cell parameters are in good agreement with those reported by Roberts et al. (1996) and Ferdov et al. (2002).
The title compound contains [Ti2Si8O22]4- layers composed of five-member rings built up of four SiO4 tetrahedra and one TiO5 square pyramid (Figs. 1 and 2). The interconnection between two of these rings form small cage-type units. The negative charge of the titanosilicate layers is counter-balanced by Na+ cations residing in the interlayer space. A layer of water molecules is sandwiched between two layers of Na+ ions. The hydrogen atom H bonded to the OW atom could be located for the first time and was refined isotropically. It is involved in a weak hydrogen bond to O3 (OW···O3 = 2.9029 (16) Å), the oxygen ligand strongly bonded to the Ti atom. The hydrogen bonding scheme thus reinforces the structure across the titanosilicate layers (Fig. 2).
Single-crystal Raman and powder and single-crystal IR spectra are presented in Figs. 3 and 4, respectively. The powder IR spectrum is similar to that reported by Du et al. (1996). The Raman spectrum shows a small broad peak at ca 3350 cm-1, and a smaller satellite peak at ca 3200 cm-1(O—H stretching vibrations). A minute broad band at roughly 1617 cm-1 may be attributed to the water bending vibration. The IR spectra in the high-frequency region are similar to the Raman spectrum. The powder IR spectrum shows a very broad, large hump centered at ca 3380 cm-1, with a shoulder at ca 3200 cm-1. The three small peaks between 3000 and 2800 cm-1 are caused by organic impurities in the KBr pellet. The water bending vibration causes the relatively sharp band at 1620 cm-1. The single-crystal IR spectrum contains a broad peak centered at ca 3360 cm-1 but with two shoulders at ca 3480 and 3200 cm-1. Clearly, this reflects a range of O.·O donor-acceptor distances. A positional disorder of the water molecule seems unlikely, since the well refined H atom is characterized by a quite small isotropic displacement parameter. In both Raman and IR spectra, the region below 1200 -1 shows more or less sharp bands due to vibrations involving the TiO5, SiO4 and Na-(O,H2O) units.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
