Abstract

High-resolution electron micrographs and X-ray powder diffraction patterns for the mesoporous material FSM-16 and for silicate-organic complexes derived from the layered polysilicate kanemite are presented. HREM studies reveal information about the formation mechanism at the nanometer length scale, and X-ray powder diffraction data provides information about the averaged structure in the samples. It is demonstrated that the FSM-16 material is formed from the layered silicate kanemite through making a domain structure with hexagonal symmetry by condensation of silicate, which might be derivative of kanemite sheets, and the 'folded sheet mechanism' should be modified.
