Since their first synthesis in pure form by Wilson et al. in 1982 the microporous aluminophosphate molecular sieves have been finding importance as catalysts in various chemical reactions in the field of petrochemicals and fine chemicals. Like zeolites they are microporous crystalline materials with high surface area. Their framework consists of alternating oxygen sharing AlO4 and PO4 tetrahedra. Substitution of metal in the aluminophosphate framework is a challenging task which gives rise to the formation of metal substituted aluminophosphate molecular sieves. In these frameworks the metal...
