The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and N2 adsorption, which indicated that the synthesized DNL-6 s have high crystallinity and relatively high Si content ranging from 20% to 35%. Solid-state magic-angle-spinning(MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance(13 C, 29 Si, 27 Al, 31 P, and 27 Al multiple-quantum(MQ)) was conducted to investigate the status of the SDA and local atomic environment in the as-synthesized DNL-6. Thermal analysis revealed the presence of a large amount of amines in the DNL-6 crystals(about 4.4 SDAs per α-cage), which was the reason for the formation of DNL-6 with an ultrahigh Si content(36.4% Si per mole). Interestingly, DNL-6 exhibited excellent catalytic performance for methanol amination. More than 88% methanol conversion and 85% methylamine plus dimethylamine selectivity could be achieved due to the combined contribution of strong acid sites, suitable acid distribution, and narrow pore dimensions of DNL-6.展开更多
