A new silicogermanate was hydrothermally synthesized using triethylisopropylammonium cation as SDA in fluoride medium.
PKU-20 contains 10-ring channels intercrossed by 12-ring pockets.
The framework of PKU-20 is built by the alternate stacking of sti and asv layers.
The scheme for slicing off the asv layer from the ASV framework is illustrated.
A composite building unit, D4R-lau-D4R, represents the characteristic of the asv layer.
