A novel aluminophosphate precursor that transforms to AlPO4-5 molecular sieve at high temperature

Abstract

A novel aluminophosphate microporous compound, denoted UHM-5, synthesized from an aqueous aluminophosphate gel at 150 °C in the presence of cyclohexylamine as the template, transforms upon calcination above 300 °C into AlPO₄-5 molecular sieve.
