“…One topic omitted from this review based on limited mechanistic studies is the impact of replacing Al with other heteroatoms (e.g., zeotypes such as SAPOs and AlPOs). The addition or substitution of heteroatoms into zeolite growth mixtures has led to disparate effects on synthesis mixtures, which include altering crystallization kinetics, ,, crystal size, ,, phase selection, ,, and other phenomena such as IZT. These effects are in addition to that which is generally of greatest interest and the reason why heteroatoms are typically added to growth mixtures: the ability of heteroatoms to alter acid properties, including density, strength, zoning, or siting. ,− Similar to the effects of Si and Al source selection, the choice of heteroatom reagent has the potential to direct growth pathways from classical to nonclassical (or vice versa) .…”
