The insertion of bismuth stabilizes the structure with respect to pressure-induced amorphization. Transmission electron microscopy indicated the presence of chains of atoms, which correspond to the 5.5 Å diameter of the host silicalite-1 structure. Neutron powder diffraction also confirmed the insertion of Bi in the pores of silicalite-1. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the insertion of bismuth results in formation of chains with short and long Bi-Bi distances in the pores of the host silicalite-1 linked to the framework by van der Waal's interactions. The material is predicted to be a semiconductor with a band gap of 0.4 eV. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-02305569/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-02305569/file/Zhao_Bi_MFI_Solid_State_Sciences.pdf %L hal-02305569 %U https://hal.science/hal-02305569 %~ UGA %~ CNRS %~ ENSC-MONTPELLIER %~ INPG %~ NEEL %~ ICG %~ IEM %~ L2C %~ INC-CNRS %~ NEEL-MRS %~ MIPS %~ CHIMIE %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ TEST-HALCNRS %~ UGA-COMUE %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ TEST2-HALCNRS
