    Previous high-resolution x-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy studies of the zeolite SSZ-57 could not fully elucidate the structural basis for its puzzling adsorption behavior, which appears to be intermediate between that of a medium- (10-ring) and a large-pore (12-ring) zeolite. Now by applying advanced crystallographic techniques and crystal chemistry considerations to high-quality single-crystal x-ray diffraction data collected on a microcrystal (about 2 micrometers by 2 micrometers by 8 micrometers), we have been able to derive a comprehensive description of its silicate framework structure.The framework is related to that of ZSM-11 but is commensurately modulated along the c axis to yield a structure with a 12-ring:10-ring ratio of 1:15. Disorder of the 12-rings results in a three-dimensional 10-ring channel system with large isolated pockets. The structure helps to clarify the material´s catalytic activity.
