Abstract
New bridged layered silicates are disclosed where the bridging groups bridge adjacent silicate layers via oxygen atoms on each silicate layer that are unshared to produce porous three dimensional structures. Methods for making these bridged layered silicates are disclosed as well as methods for using these compositions as catalysts, supports, adsorbents, drying agents and ion exchangers.
