| Abstract: | The mechanism of crystallization of microporous titanosilicate ETS‐10 was investigated by Raman spectroscopy combined with 29Si magic‐angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy, DFT calculations, and SEM imaging. The formation of three‐membered ring species is shown to be the key step in the hydrothermal synthesis of ETS‐10. They are formed by means of a complex process that involves the interaction of silicate species in the reaction mixture, which promotes the dissolution of TiO2 particles. These insights into the mechanism of ETS‐10 growth led to the successful development of a new synthesis route to the vanadosilicate AM‐6 that involves the use of intermediates that contain three‐membered ring species as an initiator. |
