Enhanced resolution and quantitation from "ultrahigh" field NMR spectroscopy of glasses

Kroeker, S., Neuhoff, P.S. and Stebbins, J.F. (2000) " J. Non-Cryst. Solids 293-295 440-445. PDF

Abstract: The utilization of higher magnetic fields for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (e.g., 14.1 and 18.8 T) can enhance both resolution and sensitivity in studies of disordered materials. When used in conjunction with fast magic angle spinning (MAS), high-field NMR can yield structural information not always available from NMR experiments of glasses at lower fields. Examples include site distinction of multiple boron groupings in 11B MAS NMR spectra of borate glasses, the spectroscopic observation of low concentrations of five- and six-co-ordinate aluminum species in 27Al MAS NMR spectra of aluminosilicate glasses, and new insight into magnesium co-ordination environments in silicate glasses using 25Mg MAS NMR. Also presented are 17O MAS NMR spectra of a zeolite in which high-field experiments permit resolution and quantification of bound molecular water. Comparisons of spectral data collected at 18.8 T with those at lower fields demonstrate these principles and indicate the potential of high-field MAS NMR applications to amorphous solids.

Expansions of the vertical scale by the indicated factors highlight low-intensity features. Dashed lines point out corresponding lineshape singularities for the water signal.

Quantification of five- and six-coordinated aluminum in aluminosilicate and fluoride-containing glasses by high-field, high-resolution 27Al NMR

Abstract: Aluminum cation sites with five ([5]Al) or six ([6] Al) anion neighbors are minor species in aluminosilicate glasses that are interesting in models of structure, diffusion, and viscous flow. Using 27Al NMR, we present the first direct evidence for [5]Al in a calcium-aluminosilicate glass without excess aluminum over charge-balancing cations, and quantify small concentrations of both [5]Al and [6]Al in several fluoride-containing aluminosilicate glasses. NMR techniques that enhance resolution by decreasing the effects of second-order quadrupolar broadening, including triple-quantum magic-angle spinning (3QMAS), analysis of spinning sidebands, and data collection at very high external magnetic fields (14.1 and 18.8 T), are particularly effective in accurately observing such species.

Figure Caption. 27Al MAS spectra of glass sample An + F at the external magnetic fields shown. Vertical scales (not shown) represent the intensity in arbitrary units, normalized to the maximum peak height in each spectrum. Figure Caption. 27Al MAS spectra at 18.8 T for glasses as labeled. Vertical scale expansions of 4 or 8 times are shown for each.
