Novel zeolites continue to be synthesized using organic structure directing agents in combination with unconventional choices of inorganic conditions. The latter include synthesis in concentrated fluoride media, synthesis in concentrated hydroxide media, synthesis in the presence of germanium, and synthesis with high concentrations of boron. Post-synthetic treatments of germanosilicates with the ADOR method have resulted in fully intact zeolites that cannot be obtained through direct synthesis. Unusual compositions of known frameworks have been obtained through topotactic condensation of layered precursors. Coupled with the appropriate choice of inorganic conditions, the use of new SDA molecules has also produced materials with known frameworks but with amazingly small crystal dimensions that are less than 10 nm. The preparations of once “exotic” materials are now being performed with commercially available or easily prepared organic structure directing agents. In some instances methods have been found to prepare high-silica zeolites from seeded preparations in the absence of an organocation. Methods to target zeolite catalysts for a particular reaction have been realized by identifying structure directing agent molecules that are a mimic of the transition state of the reaction.

继续使用有机结构导向剂结合无机条件的非常规选择来合成新型沸石。后者包括在浓氟化物介质中的合成，在浓氢氧化物介质中的合成，在锗存在下的合成以及高浓度硼的合成。用ADOR方法对锗硅酸盐进行后合成处理已导致无法通过直接合成获得的完全完整的沸石。通过层状前体的全缩合反应已经获得了已知骨架的异常组成。加上的无机条件适当选择，使用新的SDA分子还制作材料与已知的框架但令人惊讶的小晶体尺寸是小于10nm。曾经是“外来”材料的制备现在正在使用市售或易于制备的有机结构导向剂进行。在某些情况下，已经发现了在没有有机阳离子的情况下，从种子制备物中制备高硅沸石的方法。通过鉴定模拟反应过渡态的结构导向剂分子，已经实现了针对特定反应靶向沸石催化剂的方法。
