Crystal Structure of Cerium (III) Exchanged Faujasite

Nature volume 215, pages 270–271 (1967)Cite this article

Abstract

THIS communication reports the initial results of our investigation of the crystal chemistry of the rare earth faujasite system. In this investigation a single crystal of faujasite was placed in contact with concentrated cerium nitrate, Ce(NO3)3, at room temperature for 6 months. The exchange data of Ames1 on the cerium exchange of Linde X and our own data (H. S. Sherry, personal communication) suggest that the cerium exchange in the crystal will be approximately 60 per cent, which corresponds to a unit cell composition, (Ce2O3)6 (CaO)7.6(Na2O)3.9·29.5 Al2O3·133 SiO2·270 H2O.
