| Abstract: | Isomorphous and non‐isomorphous substitutions of transition metal and IIIA elements for framework atoms of molecular sieves are very interesting in order to modify their acidic and redox catalytic properties. In this paper, we review the interaction between metal cations other than Al+3 with zeolitic frameworks in Ti, Co, V and Ga‐containing silicate and aluminophosphate zeolites detected by spectroscopic investigations. During synthesis and redox treatments, solvent, oxidant and surface silanol groups sometimes were found to attach to the framework metal ion sites, perhaps involved in the variation from tetrahedral to non‐tetrahedral coordinations. |
