Definitions

• This disclosure relates to a novel synthetic crystalline molecular sieve, designated SSZ-113, its synthesis, and its use in sorption and catalytic processes.
• Zeolitic materials are known to have utility as sorbents and to have catalytic properties for various types of organic compound conversion reactions.
• Certain zeolitic materials are ordered, porous crystalline materials having a definite crystalline structure as determined by X-ray diffraction, within which there are a large number of smaller cavities which may be interconnected by a number of still smaller channels or pores. These cavities and pores are uniform in size within a specific zeolitic material. Since the dimensions of these pores are such as to accept for sorption molecules of certain dimensions while rejecting those of larger dimensions, these materials have come to be known as "molecular sieves" and are utilized in a variety of ways to take advantage of these properties.
• zeolitic framework structures recognized by the International Zeolite Association. There exists a need for new structures, having different properties than those of known materials, for improving the performance of many organic compound conversion and sorption processes. Each structure has unique pore, channel and cage dimensions, which gives its particular properties as described above.

• aluminogermanosilicate refers to a crystalline microporous solid including aluminum, germanium and silicon oxides within its framework. In some cases, one or more of these oxides may be substituted with other oxides.
• the term "as-synthesized” is employed herein to refer to a molecular sieve in its form after crystallization, prior to removal of the organic structure directing agent.
• anhydrous is employed herein to refer to a molecular sieve substantially devoid of both physically adsorbed and chemically adsorbed water.
• Constraint Index is a convenient measure of the extent to which a molecular sieve provides controlled access to molecules of varying sizes to its internal structure. Constraint Index is determined herein according the method described by S.l. Zones et al. ( Micropor . Mesopor. Mater. 2000, 35-36, 31 -46). The test is designed to allow discrimination between pore systems composed of 8, 10 and > 12 membered ring (MR, the number of tetrahedral or oxygen atoms that make up the ring) pores. The Cl value decreases with the increasing pore size of molecular sieves. For example, zeolites are often classified based on the Cl values as follows:
• a large pore zeolite generally has a pore size of at least 7 A.
• An intermediate pore size zeolite generally has a pore size from about 5 A to less than 7 A.
• a small pore size zeolite has a pore size from about 3 A to less than 5 A.
