Boronaaronate molecular sieve

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A new crystalline borosilicate molecular sieve boronaaronate, having a composition in terms of mole ratios of oxides:, 0.9?0.2M2/nO;B2O3:ySiO2:zH2O wherein M is a cation of valence n, y is between 2 and about 700, and z is between 0 and about 200 and having a, characteristic X-ray diffraction pattern. The boronaaronate is prepared by reacting under crystallization conditions, in substantial absence of a metal hydroxide an, aqueous mixture containing an oxide of silicon an oxide, of boron, ethylenediamine, and an organic material comprised of a heterocyclic nitrogen-containing aromatic compound or an aliphatic alcohol. Boronaaronate is useful in hydrocarbon conversion processes.
