Subcolloidal zeolite particles having all the structural features of the zeolite framework but sizes of only a few unit cells which are insufficient to generate a diffraction pattern exist in silicalite‐1 synthesis solutions, as revealed by synchrotron‐based reflection–absorption IR spectroscopy on zeolite films prepared from clear precursor solutions by the Langmuir–Blodgett method or by spin coating (see picture).
