The crystal structure of the synthetic zeolite silica-ZSM-12, 56 SiO{sub 2}, has been solved by the combined use of high-resolution solid-state MAS NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction ZSM-12 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a{sub 0} = 24.863 {angstrom}, b{sub 0} = 5.012 {angstrom}, c{sub 0} = 24.328 {angstrom}, and {beta} = 107.7{degree}. The zeolite host structure is built from corner-linked SiO{sub 4} tetrahedra to give a three-dimensional 4-connected net. The pores of the structure are one-dimensional channels that do not intersect, with 12-membered ring pore openings of approximately 5.6 {times} 7.7 {angstrom}. The structure of ZSM-12 is frequently twinned with (100) as the twin plane, which indicates a new zeolite structure type.
