“…Organic molecules as structure directing agents led to the formation of gallogermanate sodalites with incorporated tetrametylammonium or ethylenediamine [26]. On one hand the gallogermanate host framework shows this flexibility with regard to the size of the incorporated templates, on the other hand nitrite enclathrated sodalites are only directly hydrothermal accessible in one-step-syntheses from kaolin, NaAlGeO 4 or NaGaO 2 in the aluminosilicate [16,17,19], aluminogermanate [27,28] gallosilicate [21] system. With respect to these results it is surprising, that the gallogermanate nitrite sodalite could only be observed with quite low phase fractions in all of our one-step-synthesis.…”
