Hydrothermal synthesis using tetrabutylammonium (TBA) and monoethanolamine (MEA) has been applied to the synthesis of high-silica zeolites of the pentasil type, both with the same content of aluminum in the elementary cell and with identical dimensions of the crystals. The zeolites had the same catalytic activity in the overall conversion of hexane, but differed in selectivity. The zeolite obtained with TBA gave reaction products with higher contents of aromatic hydrocarbons and lower contents of C/sub 1/-C/sub 4/ light hydrocarbons. The differences in selectivity are explained by differences in the geometry of the zeolite channels.
