A family of lamellar aluminophosphates designatedAPO-Ln (L stands for lamellar and n= 6, 8, 10, 12, the number of carbon atoms for the occludedtemplate molecules) wassynthesized from a mixture of phosphoric acid, aluminumtriisopropoxide, ethylene glycoland an unbranched primary alcohol in the presence of an amine as thestructure-directingtemplate. The compounds were characterized by X-ray powderdiffraction, scanning electronmicroscopy, MAS NMR spectroscopy, differential thermal, andthermogravimetric analyses.The inorganic layers of APO-Ln are composed ofPO4, AlO4, and AlO6 structuralunits, andthe ratio of the octahedral Al to the tetrahedral Al in theas-synthesized compounds is about1:1. APO-Ln exhibit a distinct weight loss when treatedat elevated temperatures, and upondehydration they adsorb a considerable amount of water.Dehydration-rehydration for APO-Ln materials is reversible with the dehydrated samplescontaining almost only tetrahedrallycoordinated aluminum.
