Abstract
Abstract A crystalline molecular sieve is synthesized as encapsulating chelating agents which are macrocyclic organic molecules containing from about 8 to about 18 members in cyclic configuration with at least one bicyclic bridge having from about 3 to about 10 members, the molecule members being carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorus and/or arsenic. The molecules contain at least two nitrogen members and at least one member is oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorus, and/or arsenic, and the members include sufficient bonds to contiguous members or to hydrogen to form stable molecules. The macrocycles may be complexed with metal ions and the molecular sieve may be used in catalysis and medical imaging.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A composition comprising a crystalline molecular sieve encapsulating a macrocyclic organic molecule containing from about 8 to about 18 members in cyclic configuration with at least one bicyclic bridge having from about 3 to about 10 members, the molecule having members selected from a group consisting of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorus and arsenic, the members including at least two nitrogen atoms and at least one atom selected from a group consisting of oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorus and arsenic, and the members including sufficient bonds to contiguous members or to hydrogen to form stable molecules.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A composition comprising a crystalline molecular sieve encapsulating a macrocyclic organic molecule containing from about 8 to about 18 members in cyclic configuration with at least one bicyclic bridge having from about 3 to about 10 members, the molecule having members selected from a group consisting of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorus and arsenic, the members including at least two nitrogen atoms and at least one atom selected from a group consisting of oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorus and arsenic, and the members including sufficient bonds to contiguous members or to hydrogen to form stable molecules.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the molecular sieve is selected from a group consisting of silicates, aluminosilicates, aluminophosphates, gallophosphates and silicoaluminophosphates.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the molecular sieve is gallophosphate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the molecular sieve has the LTA framework topology.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein the macrocyclic organic molecule is complexed with at least one ion selected from a group consisting of Periodic Table of the Elements Groups IA, IIA, IIIA, IVA, transition metals IIIB, IVB, VB, VIB, VIIB, VIII and IB, including lanthanides and actinides.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
144 words
A method for crystallizing a molecular sieve encapsulating a macrocyclic organic molecule containing from about 8 to about 18 members in cyclic configuration with at least one bicyclic bridge having from about 3 to about 10 members, the molecule having members selected from a group consisting of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorus and arsenic, the members including at least two nitrogen atoms and at least one atom selected from a group consisting of oxygen, sulfur, selenium, phosphorus and arsenic and the members including sufficient bonds to adjacent members or to hydrogen to form stable molecules, the method comprising providing a reaction mixture capable of forming the molecular sieve and containing the macrocyclic organic molecule, maintaining the reaction mixture under conditions of temperature and pressure to effect crystallization of the molecular sieve until the molecular sieve is crystallized as containing encapsulated macrocyclic organic molecules.
