The method for introducing organic functional groups into the micropores of crystalline molecular sieves had been desired since it will enable us to combine the chemical functions of organic functional groups and the shape-selective performances of zeolites. Recently, the synthetic method was developed to provide organic-functionalized molecular sieves (OFMSs) that are the crystalline molecular sieves holding organic functional groups within their micropores by means of Si–C covalent bonds. In this article, our results obtained in synthesis and characterization studies of OFMSs with the ^*BEA type structure are summarized. Good shape selectivity can be achieved if the material is synthesized and treated with proper manner.
