The crystal morphology of this MAZ analogue was found to consist of spherical agglomerates of diameter up to 17 μm. It has been unequivocally demonstrated that zeolite Mordenite (MOR) or amorphous material was pro- duced instead in the absence of either morpholine or Na . Associated phases indicate that the MAZ may be a “interme- + diate phase” between the crystallization fields of zeolites Analcime (ANA) and MOR. Thus, the zeolite MAZ analogue is seemingly derived from the cooperative structure-directing effect of the organic molecule morpholine and the inor- + ganic cation Na . The results of CHN elemental analyses as well as of thermogravimetric (TG) analyses confirmed that morpholine had been incorporated into the zeolitic structure.

However, reports of aluminosilica zeolite synthesis from morpholine are relatively rare. Using a combination of fluoride anion and morpholine, our research group has recently prepared the high-silica clathrate compound MTN by vapor-phase method [13] as well as by solvothermal method.
