The structure of zeolite CSZ-1 interpreted as a rhombohedrally distorted variant of the faujasite framework

Abstract

In contrast to earlier suggestions that the structure of CSZ-1 corresponds to the theoretical hexagonal structure 6 of Breck, evidence from a combination of techniques demonstrates that it is instead topologically similar to the faujasite framework, differing in having rhombohedral, rather than cubic, symmetry.
