Zeolites are some of the most important solids in modern technology and the search for new types of zeolite and new methods of making zeolites remains at the forefront of research. Recently, we have developed a new synthetic strategy called ADOR (Assembly-Disassembly-Organization-Reassembly). This strategy starts from germanosilicate zeolites being vulnerable to hydrolysis providing zeolitic layers of the original structure. Appropriate manipulation with the layers connected with intercalation chemistry and followed by their condensation resulted in the synthesis of six new zeolites, some of them being considered as “unfeasible” due to the high energy of their frameworks. Basic principles of ADOR chemistry are described in this short overview.
