Methods for synthesis of hierarchically ordered crystalline microporous materials with long-range mesoporous order

A method for synthesis of hierarchically ordered crystalline microporous material having a high-degree of long-range mesoporous ordering by dissolution/incision of parent crystalline microporous material into oligomeric components, and reorganization into hierarchically ordered mesostructures, the method comprising:

• mixing an effective amount of a parent crystalline microporous material having an underlying microporous structure, an effective amount of an alkaline reagent and an effective amount of a supramolecular template to form an aqueous suspension,
• hydrothermally treating the aqueous suspension under conditions effective to form oligomeric units of the parent crystalline microporous material, form shaped micelles of the supramolecular template, and induce assembly of the oligomeric units around the shaped micelles, wherein a solid is formed as the hierarchically ordered mesostructures that have a high-degree of long-range mesoporous ordering with pores characterized by crystalline microporous walls that retain the underlying microporous structure.
