Multinuclear Solid-State NMR Investigation of Hexaniobate and Hexatantalate Compounds

Multinuclear Solid-State NMR Investigation of Hexaniobate and Hexatantalate Compounds.

This work determines the potential of solid-state NMR techniques to probe proton, alkali, and niobium environments in Lindqvist salts. Na7HNb6O19·15H2O (1), K8Nb6O19·16H2O (2), and Na8Ta6O19·24.5H2O (3) have been studied by solid-state static and magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR at high and ultrahigh magnetic field (16.4 and 19.9 T). (1)H MAS NMR was found to be a convenient and straightforward t...

Multinuclear solid-state NMR studies of Brmsted sites in zeolites

Two NMR techniques, zH MAS NMR and echo Fourier 27AI NMR, have been applied for the first time to the investigation of Bronsted sites in dehydrated hydrogen forms ofzeolites. The “AI signal of SiOHAl sites, which was “NMR-invisible” until now, yields a quadrupole coupling constant C,,= 16 MHz for the dehydrated zeolite H-ZSM-5. The values of C,, determined from the ZH MAS NMR spectra of SiODAl ...

Solid-state multinuclear magnetic resonance investigation of Pyrex

Pyrex is an ubiquitous material that has attained widespread use in laboratory glassware and household utensils due to its properties, cost effectiveness, and ease of fabrication. Despite its importance, the structure of borosilicate glass such as Pyrex is not fully understood. Here, we report high resolution Si, Al, and B magic-angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopi...

2H Solid-State NMR Investigation of Terephthalate Dynamics and Orientation inMixed-Anion Hydrotalcite-Like Compounds

A structural investigation of the alkali metal site distribution within bioactive glass using neutron diffraction and multinuclear solid state NMR.

The atomic-scale structure of Bioglass and the effect of substituting lithium for sodium within these glasses have been investigated using neutron diffraction and solid state magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR. Applying an effective isomorphic substitution difference function to the neutron diffraction data has enabled the Na-O and Li-O nearest-neighbour correlations to be isolated from the overlap...
