Abstract

The present invention relates to functionalized molecular sieves that are useful as shape-selective adsorbents and catalysts. The inventive molecular sieves have a crystalline framework and include micropores of substantially uniform size and shape formed therein. These micropores contain one or more accessible organic moieties that are linked to the crystalline framework by a carbon-silicon ond. Shape selectivity of the inventive molecular sieves may be modulated by varying the size and shape of the micropores (which is a function of the particular molecular sieve being synthesized) and the organic moiety incoporated therein. In preferred embodiments, the molecular sieves of the present invention include crosslinked monomers of the formula ##STR1## wherein: PA1 X is a subsituted or unsubstituted moiety and PA1 R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each independently either oxygen, or a substituted or unsubstituted moiey, wherein the moiety is selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.10 alkenyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.20 alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, and heteroaryl, each optionally substituted with one or more substituents elected from the group consisting…
