Intramolecular pi-stacking structure directing agents and molecular sieves synthesized therefrom

A method of making a molecular sieve may include: reacting a source selected from the group consisting of: a source of a tetrahedral element in the presence of a structure directing agent (SDA) selected from the group consisting of: Ar.sup.+-L-Ar, Ar.sup.+-L-Ar-L-Ar.sup.+, Ar.sup.+-L-Ar-L-NR3.sup.+, and ArAr.sup.+-L-Ar.sup.+Ar, where Ar.sup.+ is to a N-containing cationic aromatic ring, Ar is to a non-charged aromatic ring, L is a methylene chain of 3-6 carbon atoms, NR3.sup.+ is to a quaternary ammonium, and ArAr.sup.+ and Ar.sup.+Ar are a fused aromatic ring structure comprising both a N-containing cationic portion and a non-charged portion, to produce the molecular sieve.
