See what you will probably never see in reality, thanks to the PCOD...
Three-dimensional SiO2 models (not DFT-optimized) with lowest
framework density (FD) as predicted by GRINSP
(Selected among 11695 CIF including 3D, 2D
and 1D SiO2 models)
Not exhaustive list, run again GRINSP and you will find more...

BUT... Many of these predictions will never be confirmed, guys are
working hard on screening out unfeasible hypothetical zeolites :

PCOD2130001 FD = 7.59 CIF
That model was proposed by GRINSP when trying to solve the structure of
ITQ-37 in 2007 - but as shown
later, ITQ-37 presents an interrupted 4-connected net, so that it
was impossible to obtain it by using GRINSP...
