FROM THE SERIES EDITOR
This volume was jointly published by the Mineralogical Society of America (MSA) and the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei (ANL). The chapters were invited contributions to the December 6–7, 2004 meeting on Micro- and Mesoporous Mineral Phases held in Rome, Italy. A volume of extended abstracts was published in 2004 in occasion of the Rome meeting ("Micro- and Mesoporous Mineral Phases," Accad Lincei, Rome; ISBN 88-86409-41-9). It reports the abstracts of 73 contributions including the 12 invited ones that are the content of this RiMG volume.Errata (if any) can be found at the MSA website www.minsocam.org.

In Materials Science, investigations aiming to prepare new types of molecular sieves (porous materials) have opened a productive field of research inspired by the crystal structures of minerals. These new molecular sieves are distinct from zeolites in that they have different kinds of polyhedra that build up their structures. Of particular interest are the new molecular sieves characterized by a mixed "octahedral"-tetrahedral framework (heteropolyhedral frameworks), instead of a purely tetrahedral framework as in zeolites.
Heteropolyhedral compounds have been extensively studied since the early 1990’s, with particular attention having been focused on titanosilicates, such as ETS-4 (synthetic analog of the mineral zorite) and ETS-10. However, titanosilicates are not the only representatives of novel microporous mineral phases. The search for "octahedral"-tetrahedral silicates was extended to metals other than titanium, for instance, the zirconosilicates
