Atlas of zeolite framework types / Атлас типов цеолитовых каркасов

A forerunner of the ATLAS was first published in 1970(1). This early survey comprised 27 zeolite structures known at the time. Then the "Atlas of Zeolite Structure Types" by W.M. Meier and D.H. Olson, with 38 entries, was published by the Structure Commission of the IZA in 1978. This was followed by the much expanded 2nd edition of the ATLAS in 1988 comprising 64 entries, the updated 3rd edition in 1992 with 85 entries, and the fully revised 4th edition in 1996 with 98 entries. This 5th edition is again an updated version of the previous compilation, and the number of entries has risen significantly to 133.
The ATLAS contains an entry for each unique zeolite framework type. The term zeolite framework refers to a corner-sharing network of tetrahedrally coordinated atoms. In compliance with the changes in zeolite nomenclature recommended by IUPAC in 2001(2) the title of the Atlas had to be changed from ‘Atlas of Zeolite Structure Types’ to ‘Atlas of Zeolite Framework Types’. This is because the term 'structure' implies both the framework and the extra-framework constituents of a zeolite and the latter are excluded in the framework description. <...>
