Abstract

This work studies the thermal stability, heat-induced structural deformations, and dehydration/rehydration dynamics of a synthetic high silica mordenite. It is of special interest because this particular phase has proven to be an ideal host for the encapsulation of several kinds of organic molecules making it a promising scaffold for drug delivery. The dehydration process was followed by thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy in controlled atmosphere, in situ synchrotron XRPD, and structural refinement. Overall, all the results indicate weak interactions of H2O molecules with the silicatic mordenite framework and evidence the presence of hydroxyl groups with different condensation responses at high temperature. Infrared characterization highlighted how the desorption of adsorbed H2O molecules under degassing is already complete at rT. The unit cell parameters exhibit very slow and almost isotropic changes upon heating. Above 550 �C an increase in slope is observed for all parameters. This corresponds to the marked silanol condensation and consequent framework reassessment observed at this temperature by infrared characterization. Overall cell contractions are 0.67%, 1.18%, and 0.81% for a, b, c, respectively and 2.64% for cell volume. HS-MOR undergoes very moderate T induced deformations, indicating a very rigid and stable framework.
