Patent ID: 8562942

Claim:
An as-synthesized molecular sieve prepared by a method, wherein the as-synthesized molecular sieve is SSZ-70 and wherein the method comprises: preparing a reaction mixture comprising: a structure directing agent comprising an imidazolium cation of formula 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 12: at least one source of at least one oxide of a tetravalent element; optionally, one or more sources of one or more oxides selected from the group consisting of oxides of trivalent elements, pentavalent elements, and mixtures thereof; optionally, at least one source of an element selected from Groups 1 and 2 of the Periodic Table; and optionally, hydroxide ions or fluoride ions; and maintaining the reaction mixture for a time and under conditions suitable to form crystals of the molecular sieve SSZ-70, to thereby obtain the as-synthesized molecular sieve SSZ-70.
