Abstract

CH…O hydrogen bonds (HBs) are identified in all crystals of series of silica zeolites hosting cationic Organic Structure Directing agents. This finding is supported by experimental C-O distances and COSi angles’ distributions, and DFT calculations on representative structures. New insights are reported on the geometry and electrostatics of these HBs.
