the present invention refers to a process for synthesis in an oh − medium and in the absence of fluorides , of a new family of zeolitic materials that fit in the name itq - 16 , and to its catalytic uses . zeolite itq - 16 is related to zeolite beta , but has a different x - ray diffractogram which is attributed to the presence of a proportion of the different polymorphs different from the one that has been found in zeolite beta . hence , zeolite itq - 16 could be comprised , aside from polymorphs a and b characteristic of zeolite beta , of another polymorph that could correspond to polymorph c proposed by newsam et al . ( j . m . newsam , m . m . j . treacy , w . t . koetsier , c . b . de gruyter . proc . r . soc . london a , 420 ( 1988 ) 375 .) therefore , the presence of this other polymorph gives the material itq - 16 a characteristic x - ray diffraction pattern different from the one of zeolite beta . the x - ray diffraction pattern of the material itq - 16 , just as it is synthesized , has been obtained in a philips pw 1830 diffractometer with a pw 1710 controller and using cu kα radiation . the diffractogram obtained by means of the powder method and using a variable divergence crack is shown in table i and is characterized by the following 2θ angle ( degrees ) and relative intensities ( l / l 0 ) l 0 being the intensity of the most intense peak to which a value of 100 is given . relative intensities have been expressed in the following terms w = weak intensity ( between 0 and 20 %); a = average intensity ( between 20 and 40 %); s = strong intensity ( between 40 and 60 %) and vs = very strong intensity ( between 60 and 100 %). the variation in the measurements of the 2θ angle due to the instrumental error is estimated at ± 0 . 05 degrees . the positions , widths and relative intensities of the diffraction peaks can be modified according to the chemical composition of the material ( type of structure directing agent , si / ge ratio , presence of other trivalent and / or tetravalent heteroatoms ( one or several ) in the lattice , aside from silicon and / or germanium , such as for example : aluminum , boron , titanium , vanadium , etc . ), as well as the degree of hydration and crystal size . in particular , the pattern represented in table i refers to materials whose lattice is comprised exclusively of silicon and germanium oxide , with a si / ge ratio = 5 and synthesized using the benzyl - dabco ( bd + ) cation , as structure directing agent . table 2 shows the values of the 2θ angle and relative intensities ( l / l 0 ) of the x - ray diffractogram reflections of powder of the prior sample of itq - 16 after being roasted at 580 ° c . in order to eliminate the organic compounds occluded inside the zeolite , wherein w , a , s and vs have the same meanings as in table i . the x - ray diffraction pattern of zeolite itq - 16 mainly differs , with respect to zeolite beta , in that at low angles it has , aside from a wide peak with a value of 2θ around 7 . 6 °, two peaks at 2θ angles of 6 . 9 ° and 9 . 6 °, that in general show a smaller width at an average height than the peak at 7 . 6 °. the relative intensity of these peaks varies since the proportion of the polymorphs a , b and c in the itq - 16 zeolite structure , varies , the limits being the pure polymorph c , proposed by newsan , and zeolite beta ( pérez - pariente , j ., martens , j . a ., jacobs , p . a ., applied catalysis , 31 ( 1987 ) 35 ) u . s . pat . no . re28341 ). therefore , this specification describes the process of synthesis of a family of materials that has zeolite beta and another polymorph that could be polymorph c as the extreme and outside limits . contrary to what happens in zeolite itq - 16 , the peaks at angles 6 . 9 ° 7 . 6 ° and 9 . 6 ° are not found simultaneously in zeolite beta and in the possible polymorph c . the present invention refers to a new process of synthesis of a material named itq - 16 , characterized by means of synthesis with an initial ph between 14 and 9 and preferably between 13 and 10 and the use of hydroxide anions as a mineralizing agent , and without introducing fluoride anions as mineralizing agents , and the presence of organic compounds as structure directing agents . said organic compounds can be cations of the tetraalkylammonium type with a general formula ( r1r2r3r4n ) + wherein r1 , r2 , r3 and r4 can be alkyl or aromatic chains with 1 to 16 carbon atoms , that may or may not form cycles on the nitrogen atom . besides , the use of organic polycations with a general formula of r m n x (( ch 2 ) n ) p wherein x may have values between 2 and 12 , is also described . n refers to the number of carbon atoms that form some of the alkyl chains bridge between two contiguous nitrogen atoms and may vary between 1 and 6 ; p refers to the number of alkyl chains a bridge existing between nitrogen atoms and it can vary between 2 and 24 , and r r refers to alkyl or aryl groups bonded to a single nitrogen ( n ) atom containing between 1 and 12 carbon atoms and m has a value that can vary between 0 and 36 . the preparation process of the present invention is based on heating at temperatures between 80 ° c . and 250 ° c . and preferably between 130 ° c . and 175 ° c . a reaction mixture that contains a si source , among which amorphous silica , colloidal silica , silica gel , tetraalkylorthosilicate , sodium silicate and a germanium source such as for example germanium oxides , halides or alkoxides are preferred . the synthesis mixture contains one or more of the following organic cations in their hydroxide form as a structure directing agent , without this being restrictive : tea + , bd + , bq + , m - xydq 2 + , m 4 bd 2 + , c y hmp + mcyhmp + . alternatively , it is possible to use the organic cation in the form of a salt ( for example , a halide , preferably chloride or bromide ) and adding a source of alkaline or alkaline earth ions , preferably in the form of a hydroxide . optionally , trivalent cations such as for example al , b , ga , fe or cr , and / or tetravalent cations such as ti , v or sn can be introduced in the synthesis gel . on occasions it may also be convenient to add at some point of the preparation process a crystalline material , preferably a zeolitic material and more preferably itq - 16 crystals ( between 0 . 01 and 25 % by weight with respect to all the inorganic oxides together , preferably between 0 . 05 % and 10 % by weight ) as crystallization ( seeding ) promoters . in the particular case of using the bd cation as a structure directing agent , the composition of the synthesis mixture is characterized by the following ranges of molar ratios : bd /( sio 2 + geo 2 )= between 3 and 0 . 01 and preferably between 1 and 0 . 03 . h 2 o /( sio 2 + geo 2 )= between 1000 and 0 . 5 , and preferably between 100 and 2 . geo 2 /( sio 2 + geo 2 ), defined as g ;
