MCM-22 molecular sieve was first reported by Rubin et al[1] in Mobil Company.Similar to ZSM-5 zeolite, MCM-22 belongs to the category of medium pore zeolites.However, it possesses unique structural features[2] that have not been demonstrated before. The structure of MCM-22 was resolved by Mobil scientists using high resolution microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. It is found that MCM-22 consists of two independent and non-interconnecting channel systems, each accessible through 10-ring apertures. One of these pore systems is composed of uniform circular 10-ring pores about 0.6 nm. The other is composed of 12-ring egg-shaped supercages with inner free diameter of 0.71 nm and inner height of 1.82 nm. Usually the zeolite crystallizes as thin sheets or plates of stocked layers. Therefore, MCM-22 has been actively studied and this peculiar zeolite may have potential applications in the petrochemical and petroleum industries in the near future, including reactions such as disproportionation[3], catalytic cracking of hydrocarbons[4], aromatic/ethylene alkylation[5], isoalkane/olefins[6] and methanol/olefins alkylation[7] etc.
