AbstractSimulations of solid-state 29Si NMR spectra in nitrogen-containing silicon ceramics and glasses are described. The range of SiNxO4-x tetrahedra is covered, with emphasis on the experimental conditions needed to observe the effect of the incompletely averaged 29Si, 14N dipolar coupling. A simple equation is discussed concerning its use in the interpretation of these 29Si spectra, including the computation of 14N quadrupole coupling constants with its absolute sign.

The 71Ga NMR spectra of Ga[GaX4] melts and of solutions in benzene and other hydrocarbons show discrete sharp GaI and broad GaIII resonances. In the light of recent structure determinations, the solution GaI signals must be attributed to bis(arene)Ga+ complexes in which the gallium atom is η6-bonded to the hydrocarbons. The low line widths and strong high field shifts are attributed to an almost spherical shielding of the metal nucleus by the 4 s2 electrons. Solid state 69Ga and 71Ga NMR spectra of Ga[GaCl4] crystalline powder show only Ga1 resonances. While the 71GaI line is rather narrow, the 69GaI line has a complex fine structure. Consistent with the crystal structure of Ga[GaCl4], the Ga1 ion is calculated to have a very low quadrupole coupling constant e2q Q/h = 1.7 ± 0.1 MHz and an asymmetry parameter η = 0.44. Experimental and simulated line shapes (using literature models) are in satisfactory agreement, implying that the 69Ga signal splitting is due to second order quadrupolar effects for the central m = + 1/2 ⇋ - 1/2 transition. The analogous splitting of the 71Ga NMR line is too small to be detected.

We present the results of experimental and theoretical investigations of line shapes in solid-state 17O NMR spectra of hexagonal ice, Ih. Stationary 17O NMR spectra of Ih at temperatures from 143 to 280 K were obtained at 11.7 and 16.4 T. Line shapes changed drastically as the temperature was increased from 143 to 243 K; at 253 K and above, pseudo-isotropic line shapes appear, indicating the presence of reorientational motions. We find that Ratcliffe’s model, which involves twelve orientations and four-step jumps for water reorientational motions, is effective for analyzing the NMR spectra at temperatures below 243 K. The present analysis demonstrates that the isotropic line shapes arise from proton disorder with respect to the solid-state 17O NMR time scale, producing pseudoicosahedral motional averaging that can completely average out second-order quadrupole interactions.

A series of cation exchanged Y-zeolites were prepared by exchanging cations with various alkali (M+, M= Li, Na, K, Cs) metals. The structural and catalytic properties of the alkali metal exchanged Y-zeolites have been investigated by a number of analytical techniques. Comparative elemental analyses were determined by an Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy X-ray (EDS), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) before and after cation substitution. The framework and non-framework Al coordination and the Si/Al ratios of the Y-zeolites were investigated by MAS Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The Al NMR spectra were characterized by two 27Al resonance signals at 12 and 59 ppm, indicating the presence of the non-framework and framework Al respectively. The intensities of these resonances were used to monitor the amount of the framework and non-framework Al species in the series of exchanged zeolites. The 29Si NMR spectra were characterized by four resonance signals at -79, -84, -90, and -95 ppm. Changing the alkali metal cations in the exchanged Y-zeolites significantly altered the extent of the octahedral/tetrahedral coordination and the Si/Al ratio. The Fourier Transform Infrared spectra of the CO2 adsorbed on to the exchanged Y-zeolites showed a low frequency shift, as the atomic number of the exchanged alkali metal increased. In addition, the catalytic activity of these samples for NOx reduction were tested in combination with a non-thermal plasma technique and interpreted based on the above structural and spectroscopic information.

AbstractPure nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy at low frequencies (down to 275 kHz) has been used to investigate a number of borate, aluminate, and vanadate crystalline compounds and borate glasses. The values of the quadrupole coupling constants (Qcc) and asymmetry parameters (η) are obtained with error limits that are one or two orders of magnitude less than those for values obtained from NMR spectra. New sites, not resolved in NMR spectra, have been detected for boron in borate glasses.

Abstract We studied the electric quadrupole interactions of Oxygen isotopes in a TiO2 single crystal. For 13O and 19O nuclei, quadrupole coupling constants were measured by the β-NMR technique, and for the 17O nucleus the FT-NMR technique was utilized. We synthesized a TiO2 single crystal which was enriched in 17O up to 5 atom % to observe NMR signals without any perturbations from impurities. Using the known quadrupole moment of 17O, EFGs at an O site in TiO2 and the quadrupole moments of 13O and 19O were determined.
