In the present work, multinuclear solid-state NMR techniques together with power X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to monitor the crystallization process of aluminophosphate AlPO4-11 molecular sieves in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([emim]Br) ionic liquids (ILs). The local environments of the selected solid samples were probed by one-dimensional 27Al, 31P, and 19F MAS NMR experiments, and more information was obtained from two-dimensional 27Al鈫?sup>31P heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) and 27Al triple-quantum MAS (3Q MAS) experiments. It is found that a large amount of amorphous aluminophosphates was formed with the F鈥揂loct鈥揙鈥揚par and Altet鈥揙鈥揚par structures in the initial stage of aging. With increasing crystallization time, the partially condensed framework phosphorus species disappeared gradually and became fully condensed. Meanwhile, the octahedral Al was transformed into the pentahedral and tetrahedral Al species with the structures of F鈥揂lpenta鈥揙鈥揚ful and Altet鈥揙鈥揚ful in the AlPO4-11 frameworks. During the crystallization process, [emim] cations acting as the structure-directing agents were occluded into the channels, and F鈥?/sup> anions were connected with pentahedral Al in the final AlPO4鈥?1 phase. All of these findings can allow proposing a possible formation mechanism for the synthesis of AlPO4-11 in ionic liquids.
