Dataset for "The Effect of Cation Exchange on the Pore Geometry of Zeolite L"

This dataset provides a characterisation of LTL-type zeolites that provides insight into the locations of extra-framework cations and water molecules; this is fundamental in understanding and exploiting the characteristics of these materials. This work is a step towards tuning LTL-zeolites for better use as functional materials.

A collection of data used for the article "The Effect of Cation Exchange on the Pore Geometry of Zeolite L". In that work, we explore the effect of cation exchange on the pore dimensions, cation locations and water distribution within the 12R channel systems of LTL-type zeolites. Non-framework K+ cations are exchanged with larger Cs+ and smaller Li+ ions to physically alter pore openings and cavity volumes. Advanced structural characterisation provides insight into the locations of these extra-framework cations and water molecules.

Included in the dataset are GSAS (Generalized Structure Analysis System) refinement files for the zeolites; raw Rigaku SmartLab ASCII output files and Origin Project files from powder X-ray diffractometry; and crystal structures as CIF files.

Documentation

Data collection method:

K-L and partially exchanged Li-L and Cs-L zeolites were characterised at ambient conditions by performing high resolution x-ray diffraction measurements. To optimise the resolution, overnight scans (scan speed 0.1°/min with step size 0.02° across a 2θ range 87 from 1–40°) were performed on a Rigaku SmartLab diffractometer with a high flux rotating copper anode x-ray source (monochromator, λ=1.544414 Å) at the materials characterisation lab, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source. Structural characterisation was performed by Rietveld refinements using the GSAS suite of programs.

Technical details and requirements:

GSAS files may be opened with GSAS-II software (https://subversion.xray.aps.anl.gov/trac/pyGSAS). ASC files are the plain-text output from the Rigaku SmartLab diffractometer. OPJ files can be opened with Origin data analysis software (https://www.originlab.com/).
