High-pressure behavior and crystal-fluid interaction in natural erionite-K / T. Battiston, D. Comboni, F. Pagliaro, P. Lotti, M. Hanfland, G. Diego Gatta. - In: MATERIALS CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS. - ISSN 0254-0584. - 292:(2022 Dec 01), pp. 126760.1-126760.10. [10.1016/j.matchemphys.2022.126760]
Abstract:
The high-pressure behavior of a natural erionite-K has been investigated by in situ single-crystal synchrotron X-
ray diffraction with a diamond anvil cell (DAC), using four different P-transmitting fluids: the non-penetrating
silicone oil and the potentially penetrating methanol:ethanol:H2O = 16:3:1 mixture, pure H2O and naturally
hydrated glycerol. The investigated crystals showed typical offretite stacking faults in the diffraction pattern. The
experiment in silicone oil showed that the erionite bulk compressibility lies within the range observed for the
previously investigated zeolites, as its refined bulk modulus (KV0 = 1/βV0), calculated within the range Pamb-1.52
(5) GPa, resulted equal to 47(2) GPa. The high-pressure experiments performed using potentially penetrating P-
transmitting fluids showed significantly lower compressibilities, unambiguously suggesting the P-mediated
intrusion of new molecules into the structural voids. Further evidence is provided by the comparative analysis of
the framework deformation mechanisms: erionite-K compressed in m.e.w. showed a drastically lower
compressibility of the erionite cage, with respect to silicone oil. In conclusion, this study suggests natural
erionite, a relatively common zeolite, as a suitable candidate for the P-mediated intrusion and hyper-confinement
of molecules into the framework microcavities
