Zeolite and molecular sieve syntheses are reviewed. The synthesis of aluminum-rich zeolites, high-silica, and phosphate-based molecular sieves are evaluated. Unresolved mechanistic issues are outlined areas for exploration suggested. The ability to plan zeolite and molecular sieve syntheses is discussed a strategy for synthesizing a chiral zeolite is used to demonstrate the current limitations in "designing" molecular sieves.
