A new family of crystalline microporous silicometallophosphate designated SAPO-69 has been synthesized. These silicometallophosphate are represented by the empirical formula of:

R.sup.p+.sub.rM.sub.m.sup.+E.sub.xPSi.sub.yO.sub.z

where M is an alkali metal such as potassium, R is an organoammonium cation such as ethyltrimethylammonium and E is a trivalent framework element such as aluminum or gallium. The SAPO-69 family of materials represent the first phosphate-based molecular sieves to have the OFF topology and have catalytic properties for carrying out various hydrocarbon conversion processes and separation properties for separating at least one component.
