size substances.

3.3.5. Recyclability of the catalyst
We also examined the recyclability of the [Na, K]-ETS-
10 catalyst. Here, reaction 1 was employed as the test reac-
tion. The used catalyst was calcined at 723 K for 6 h. After
the third regeneration, 27.3% yield of ECC was obtained, in-
dicating that ETS-10 is a recyclable solid-base catalyst.
4. Conclusions

Al and Ga were successfully incorporated into the frame-
work of ETS-10, isomorphously replacing the (4Si) sites.
While no extraframework Al species were detected by 27Al
MASNMR measurements, about half of Ga introduced ex-
isted out of the framework. Na+ and K+ of the origi-
nal [Na, K]-ETS-10 was ion-exchanged for various alkali
metal cations. Pyrrole-IR spectroscopy showed that the ba-
sicity of Cs-ETS-10 was stronger than that of Cs-Y. For
the Knoevenagel condensation between benzaldehyde and
ethyl cyanoacetate, Cs-exchanged ETS-10 exhibited a lower
activity than the original [Na, K]-ETS-10. This is prob-
ably because of the narrowed reaction space in the cata-
lyst due to the presence of the cations large size. In con-
trast, the ion exchange with Li increased the activity. When
the condensation between acetone and malononitrile, which
needs a stronger basity, was employed as a probe reac-
tion, Cs-exchanged ETS-10 exhibited high activity. ETS-10
catalyzed the condensation between acetone and malonon-
itrile selectively, while organic amine such as piperidine
and triethylamine produced the self-condensed products of
malononitrile. The Knoevenagel condensation product was
quantitatively obtained after 12 h at 313 K and after 4 h
at 331 K over [Na, K]-ETS-10. These findings indicate that
