"Molecular sieve SSZ-113 with high acidity, its synthesis and use" was invented by Stacey I. Zones (San Francisco).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A novel synthetic crystalline molecular sieve material, designated SSZ-113 is provided which exhibits increased acidity. The SSZ-113 can be synthesized using 1,3-bis(2,3-dimethyl-1H-imidazolium)propane dications as a structure directing agent. The synthesis employs a boron pathway to achieve increased acid sites. The SSZ-113 of increased acidity may be used in organic compound conversion and/or sorptive processes."
