The IZA Synthesis Commission
(http://www.iza-online.org/synthesis/default.htm) prepared the 3rd
edition of the book 3rd Edition of the book “Verified Syntheses of
Zeolitic Materials” (ISBN-10: 0-692-68539-1) in order to enlarge the
existing collection and to include new materials of interest to the
zeolite research community. The introductory articles revealed the most
important developments from the last decade associated with synthesis,
characterization and application of zeolites. |

Commission has launched a fully revised version of the Database
of Zeolite
Structures. We thank Christian Baerlocher and all the colleagues involved in the permanent evolution of the database. |

| Prof.
Corma was awarded
for the introduction of new concepts for the synthesis of microporous
and
mesoporous inorganic materials and their application in heterogeneous
catalysis
which have resulted in extensive range of industrial applications.
Congratulations from the IZA to our esteemed colleague! |

The Database of
Zeolite Structures
has been updated and modernized. The database has been migrated from FileMaker
to MySQL and the
query language changed from xsl
to php. The four
university servers have been replaced with three commercial virtual
servers
(vServers) that are located in Europe, Asia and North America to give a
better
geographical distribution of service. These three servers will be
maintained by
Christian Baerlocher and Lynne McCusker (Zurich), Wei Wan and Xiaodong
Zou
(Stockholm) and Christine Kirschhock and her team (Leuven),
respectively. The
changes ensure the future of the Database
of Zeolite Structures for the next 20 years. This year we
are celebrating our 20th year of zeolite structures on the web.

On behalf of the whole zeolite community, we thank all the colleagues involved in the permanent evolution of this indispensable tool!

| 5-Aug-16 | Russell Morris became a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in London | |||||||||
|
Prof.
R. Morris (University of St Andrews) has been elected as a FRS because
of his
important work in porous solids, and in particular for his
revolutionary
developments in synthesis, such as the ionothermal and ADOR methods,
which have
had significant impact across a wide range of chemistry outside his own
field.
Morris was also elected for his work in developing new applications of
zeolites
and metal-organic frameworks, particularly for the controlled delivery
of
therapeutic gases for medicine.  Prof.
Morris has added his signature to the Charter Book joining other famous
scientists such as Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, Charles Darwin,
Albert
Einstein, etc. |

The following zeolite scientists were
elected as Academicians in 2015: Congratulations from the IZA to our esteemed colleagues! |

| 17-Mar-16 | Jule Rabo (1924-2016) | |||||||||
|
It is with great sadness that we must report that Jule Rabo, one of the pioneers of zeolite science, passed away on March 1, 2016. Dr. Rabo, one of UOP's leading scientists, has a long list of accomplishments, but he is best known for his discovery of the acidic forms of zeolite Y and and for applying them to petroleum catalysis. The catalysts he discovered have formed the basis for the production of motor fuels for almost 60 years. He was a Senior Research Fellow at Union Carbide, later UOP, and continued to consult for the company for many years after his retirement in 1990. He earned wide recognition for his discoveries, and received numerous awards, including, in 1993, the Chemical Pioneer Award from the American Institute of Chemists for pioneering discoveries in zeolite catalysis. He was a generous teacher who shared his knowledge enthusiastically with colleagues and students during his career. He lectured widely on catalysis and surface chemistry at national and international conferences, at universities, catalysis societies and industrial research centers all over the world. He earned more than 60 U.S. patents and authored several dozen articles, studies and books. The zeolite community will continue to enjoy this legacy for many years to come. |
