The article also recognized the importance of defect concentration in phase selectivities, and it showed parallels between fluoride concentration in all-silica syntheses and trivalent heteroatom concentration in hydroxide-mediated syntheses in terms of trends of framework density.

The paper shows that zeolite framework structures tend to have enthalpies that are only 6-12 kJ/mol T atom greater than quartz, and that there is an approximately linear correlation between the framework density and the framework energy. The paper also compares experimental data for frameworks with and without defects and thereby provides a quantitative estimate of defect energy penalties in zeolite structures.
