  The Compilation of Extra Framework Sites in Zeolites by W.J. Mortier published in 1982 by Butterworth & Co. has been out of print for many years, but there are still occasional requests for it. Mike Treacy has now scanned a copy of the book (provided by Wilfried Mortier) and created a pdf file. We have been given permission by Elsevier to make this pdf file available on the IZA website. It can be accessed via the Database of Zeolite Structures (click on PDF on the Database entry page) or by clicking on the book title above.

20-Dec-07 Database of AlPO Syntheses
    Dr. Jiyang Li, Prof. Jihong Yu and Prof. Ruren Xu have just made their
      Database of AlPO Syntheses
    available on the web.  It contains data gathered from the literature on more than 1600 syntheses and over 200 AlPO structures.  Each entry in the database includes a literature reference, detailed information about the source materials, the template and the synthesis conditions, and the structural characteristics of the product.  All fields are searchable.  You can access it via the Database of Zeolite Structures under "Other Links".  Your comments, suggestions and corrections are very welcome and should be sent to Prof. Yu at jihong@jlu.edu.cn.
   
28-Nov-07 Copies of the new editions of the Atlas and Collection available
    Prof. Shilun Qiu still has some copies of the new editions of the
      Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types and the
Collection of Simulated XRD Powder Patterns for Zeolites.
    These copies are left over from the 15th IZC in Beijing. He is selling them for $25 for the set of two books plus shipping and handling. If you are interested, you can contact him at sqiu@mail.jlu.edu.cn.
   
25-Sep-07 At the IZC in Beijing (August 2007), the Structure Commission
  welcomed two new members
    Martin Foster
Karl Strohmaier
  and thanked two retiring members for their service
    Richard Kirchner (1994-2007)
Osamu Terasaki (2001-2007)
 
The new officers of the Structure Commission are
  Mike Treacy, Chairperson
Bob Broach, Co-chairperson
 
New Books from the Structure Commission
  Compendium of Zeolite Framework Types. Building Schemes and Type Characteristics
    by H. van Koningsveld (published by Elsevier)
  Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types, 6th revised edition
    by Ch. Baerlocher, L.B. McCusker and D.H. Olson (published by Elsevier)
  Collection of Simulated XRD Powder Patterns for Zeolites, 5th revised edition
      by M.M.J. Treacy and J.B. Higgins (published by Elsevier)
   
31-July-07 Take a look at the new Database of Zeolite Structures
    The Database of Zeolite Structures has been completely redesigned to make navigation more intuitive and to present the data in a new format. Give it a test ride! The 3D drawings are especially entertaining...
Report any problems to Christian Baerlocher.
     
23-Apr-07 Joseph V. Smith 1928-2007
    It is with great sadness that we report the death of Professor Joseph V. Smith on April 6, 2007. His publications on zeolite structures and framework achitectures have fascinated zeolite scientists for almost 50 years, and will be sorely missed. He served as a consultant and as a member of the Structure Commission of the IZA from its inception in 1977 until 2001. Some more details on his life and achievements have been compiled by the University of Chicago, where he was the Louis Block Professor Emeritus in Geophysical Sciences, and by Werner H. Baur, a fellow zeolite crystallographer.
   
4-Apr-07 New editions of the
 
Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types
 
and the
 
Collection of Simulated XRD Powder Patterns for Zeolites
   
  will be distributed as part of the registration package for the IZC-15 in Beijing this August.
  If you will not be able to attend the IZC, but would still like to get copies of these two books, you should contact your regional Zeolite Association immediately to place an order.
