Abstract: Layered silicate materials of high thermal stability and surface area which contain interspathic oxides such as silica as prepared by treating a layered silicate, with organic cation, to spread the layers apart. A compound such as tetraethylorthosilicate, capable of forming said oxide, is thereafter introduced between the layers. The resulting product is treated to form the oxide, e.g. by hydrolysis, to produce the layered silicate material. The resulting product may be employed as a catalyst material in the conversion of hydrocarbons.

Abstract: A method for preparing a hydride containing at least two different Group 4A atoms wherein at least one of the Group 4A atoms is silicon or germanium. The method includes the steps of reacting an alkali metal and a macrocyclic compound with a silicon or germanium hydride to form a salt. The salt is then reacted with a Group 4A halide.
