A few new pure beryllophosphate molecular sieves have been hydrothermally synthesizedby using concentrated amines such as triethylene tetramine, polyethylene polyamine,piperazine, and pyridine as structure-directing agents. The structures of these compoundswere characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their structures are similar to thezeolite gmelinite, gismondine, and ABW frameworks, named BePO
4-GME, BePO
4-GIS,and BePO
4-ABW, respectively. BePO
4-GME is the first instance of phosphate with GMEtopology. The organic template was found in the 12-membered ring channels running along[001]; the thermal analysis indicates that the inorganic framework collapses above 400
Cafter the removal of the template. BePO
4-GIS is a new beryllophosphate, which has three-dimensional, intersecting 8-membered ring channels along the crystallographic [001], [010],and [111] directions. In the concentrated amines system these resulting compounds havesimilar structural characterizations: Their frameworks that are built up from the connectionof BeO
4 and PO
4 tetrahedra all have a 4.8.8 network and can be viewed as built from adifferent number of cross-linked chains (threes for BePO
4-GME and fours for BePO
4-GISand BePO
4-ABW). Crystal data for BePO
