2:

• The process of claim 1, wherein Y is at least one selected from the group consisting of Si, Sn, and Ge.

3:

• The process of claim 1, wherein X is at least one selected from the group consisting of Al, B, In, and Ga.

4:

• The process of claim 1, wherein the isomers of diaminomethylcyclohexane comprise 65 to 95 wt. % of 2,4-diaminomethylcyclohexane and 5 to 35 wt. % of 2,6-diaminomethylcyclohexane.

5:

• The process of claim 1, wherein the mixture prepared in (a) further comprises a solvent system comprising a solvent.

6:

• The process of claim 1, wherein a molar ratio YO2:diaminomethylcyclohexane of the mixture prepared in (a) is from 0.5 to 40.

8:

• The process of claim 7, wherein the process further comprises:
• (g) subjecting the zeolitic material obtained in (c), (d), (e), or (f) to an ion exchange procedure, wherein at least one ionic non-framework element or compound contained in the zeolitic material is ion-exchanged against a metal ion.

9:

• The process of claim 8, wherein the metal ion is at least one selected from the group consisting of ions of alkaline earth metal elements and/or transition metal elements.

10:

• A zeolitic material having a FAU-type framework structure comprising YO2 and X2O3 obtained by the process of claim 1, wherein Y is a tetravalent element and X is a trivalent element.

12:
