Aluminum-27 NMR studies of alcoholic (2-hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium aluminate solutions

²⁷Al NMR spectroscopy is a power tool for investigation of the aluminate species existing in both aqueous and non-aqueous solutions. Aluminum-27 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy also can be used to determine thermodynamic properties of complexes in the solution. In this report, ²⁷Al NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize species present in alkaline alcoholic aluminate solutions. (2-Hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium (2-EHTMA) hydroxide was used as base. In solution of CH₃OH and H₂O in a mole ratio of 64:1 it was possible to detect five signals by aluminum-27 NMR, indicating formation of [Al(OH)_4−n(CH₃OH)_n]⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾⁺ (n = 0,1, 2, 3 and 4) species. Aluminum-27 NMR spectroscopy has also used for investigation of the species present in the ethanolic 2-HETMA aluminate solutions. The equilibrium constants for the formation of aluminate complexes were also determined for both methanolic and ethanolic aluminate solutions. Aluminum-27 NMR spectra of propanolic and butanolic 2-HETMA aluminate solutions were also studied.     

(29)Si NMR in LC-NMR analysis of silicones

It is demonstrated using a practical example that indirect detection of (29)Si NMR signals is sufficiently sensitive in LC-NMR stop-flow arrangement to analyze mixtures of siloxane polymers. New cryogenic probes with better signal-to-noise ratio will turn this version of LC-NMR into a routine method for analysis of siloxane polymers.     

Resolving the different silicon clusters in Li12Si7 by 29Si and (6,7)Li solid-state NMR spectroscopy

Structural signatures: The analysis of Si-Si and Si-Li connectivities by solid-state NMR spectroscopy allows the different types of silicon clusters to be discriminated in the model lithium silicide compound Li(12)Si(7) (see picture, Si clusters red and blue, Li ions gray). The results provide new NMR spectroscopic strategies with which to differentiate and study the structures formed in silicon-based electrode materials.     

Calculation of the (29)si NMR chemical shifts of aqueous silicate species

A DFT methodology for calculating (29)Si NMR chemical shifts of silicate species typically present prior to nucleation in zeolite synthesis solutions, incorporating solvent effects through an implicit representation is presented. We demonstrate how our methodology can reproduce the experimentally observed spectra and, by comparison to well characterized peaks in two different experimental studies, demonstrate the transferability and robustness of the methodology. We discuss certain cases in which caution must be exercised when implicit solvent representations are used for calculating silicate cluster geometries: those cases in which intramolecular hydrogen bonding can play a significant role in the geometry. A number of reassignments of previous tentative experimental assignments are proposed, and we also make assignments for the challenging substituted four-ring species. We present all of our computed chemical shift for previously observed species together with a number of other viable silicate clusters to serve as a reference point for future experimental studies.     

Shape-selective production of zinc phosphate in aqueous and nonaqueous media using (2-hydroxyethyl) trimethylammonium hydroxide-assisted sonochemical route

Zinc phosphate molecular sieves were synthesized using zinc chloride, phosphoric acid and (2-hydroxyethyl) trimethylammonium hydroxide as template, respectively. Synthesized samples were characterized by XRD, SEM and FT-IR techniques. The morphology and crystal size of the samples were investigated using ultrasonic during aging process. Large particle size (7.2?×?20.4???m) was obtained by ultrasonication. Imperfect orthorhombic particles were obtained when the sample was mixed with magnetic stirrer; meanwhile, some rod-like particles were obtained when the mixture was stirred with ultrasonic. In addition, the rod-like ??-Zn₃(PO₄)₂·4H₂O phase was prepared using ethylene glycol as co-solvent.     

Detection of environmental polyorganosiloxanes (silicones) by silicon-29 NMR spectroscopy

The utility of ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy has been demonstrated on sediment-like materials in the quantitative and qualitative determination of polyorganosiloxanes (silicones) in selected environmental samples. This technique is highly selective for polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) and is non-destructive to the sample. Also, specific identification of polyorganosiloxanes in sediment is possible, in contrast to previous methods which provided only quantitative information while consuming the sample. The detection limit for a 9 h experiment is approximately 45 ppm.     

29Si NMR研究St(o)iber反应的化学动力学

Stoiber反应以低分子量的醇为溶剂,由正硅酸乙酯(TEOS)在氨催化下水解缩聚形成高度分散的尺寸为5～2000 nm的球形SiO2颗粒,是溶胶-凝胶过程的典型反应.通过液体29Si NMR研究Stoiber反应水解和缩聚的动力学过程,确定了反应过程的中间体是Q10,而不是文献所说的Q61.得到了TEOS碱性条件下决速步的水解速率方程r=kh[TEOS][NH3]0.457·[H2O]0.051,其速率常数为kh＝7.32×10-3 mol-0.5·dm1.5·min-1 (T=25 ℃),利用过渡态理论得到决速步以外的反应方程的速率常数.同时得到了反应活化能Ea和指前因子A的值.结果表明,温度升高,所有反应的速率均增大,决速步的反应速率增大得较多,说明升高温度更有利于Q10的生成;水量的改变对所有反应速率几乎没有影响;催化剂的用量对其水解和缩聚速率影响较大.

Sr(II)-UPRM-5 titanium silicate framework thermally induced contraction: in situ high temperature XRD and 29Si MAS NMR

The thermally induced contraction process of a titanosilicate prepared with tetraethylammonium hydroxide and ion exchanged with Sr(II) (Sr-UPRM-5) after detemplation has been characterized via in situ high temperature X-ray diffraction (XRD) and (29)Si magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR). The as-synthesized material was prepared via conventional and microwave-assisted hydrothermal methods, the latter resulting in a reaction time an order of magnitude shorter than the former case. In situ high temperature XRD tests performed on Sr-UPRM-5 indicate that at 120 °C, water coordinated to the structure is released initiating the collapse of the framework. At much higher temperatures, the material eventually becomes an amorphous phase. Indexing of the XRD patterns indicates that lattice constant a was more affected by the heat treatment, probably related to the material's pore system, while the unit cell volume experienced a 44% reduction. (29)Si MAS NMR analyses for as-synthesized UPRM-5 confirmed two different silicon environments: Si(2Si, 2Ti(octa)) and Si(3Si, 1Ti(semi-octa)), which are similar to those exhibited by titanosilicate ETS-4. On the other hand, in situ high temperature (29)Si MAS NMR analyses for Sr-UPRM-5 demonstrated that changes in the silicon environment due to the presence of titanium centers possessing additional multiple coordination states, which arise from elimination of framework coordinated water molecules, are responsible for the structure collapsing. In general, these results underline the importance of avoiding complete removal of tenacious water molecules in order to preserve the Sr-UPRM-5 properties suitable for adsorption and catalysis applications.     

Unambiguous structural characterization of hydantoin reaction products using 2D HMBC NMR spectroscopy

Data from two-dimensional (2D) NMR experiments were used to identify the reaction products resulting from the opening of pyroglutamates with isocyanates or thioisocyanates. The reaction has the potential to produce compounds that would have very similar one-dimensional proton ((1)H) or carbon-13 ((13)C) NMR spectra. Careful analysis of (1)H--(1)H COSY, (1)H--(1)H NOESY, and HMBC data, including chemical shifts and coupling constants, were used to distinguish correctly between carbamoyl-2-pyrrolidinone, hydantoin, and perhydro-1,3-diazepine-2,4-dione type structures that could result from this reaction. This work describes their preparation and subsequent identification using 2D NMR spectroscopy, and includes complete (13)C assignments of the reaction products. The 2D NMR techniques and analysis described here can be applied successfully to other synthetic reactions with the potential to produce isomeric products.     

Density functional theory calculation of (29)Si NMR chemical shifts of organosiloxanes

Density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level is applied to calculate the (29)Si NMR chemical shifts of a variety of organosiloxane moieties including monomers or precursors for polymerization and representative segments of organosiloxane polymers or thin films. The calculated shifts of two linear dimethylsiloxane compounds, hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3) and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4), compare well with their known values, having an average error of 3.4 ppm. The same method is applied to structures believed to occur in organosilicate glass thin films deposited using hot-filament chemical vapor deposition (HFCVD) from D3 and D4. The chemical shift at -15 ppm is identified as a cross-linking Si-Si bond between two strained D groups and has not previously been reported. Retention of the strained ringed structure in HFCVD films deposited from D3 is confirmed. The rings are bonded to the matrix through either Si-O or Si-Si bonds, with the latter only becoming prevalent when higher filament temperatures are employed. The strained ring structure is also observed in films deposited from a precursor with a larger unstrained ring structure, D4. These observations suggest that the known gas-phase conversion pathways of D4 to D3 and dimethylsilanone as well as the methyl abstraction reaction from D3 operate in the HFCVD reaction chemistry.     

First-principles calculations of solid-state (17)O and (29)Si NMR spectra of Mg(2)SiO(4) polymorphs

The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shielding and electric field gradient (EFG) tensors of three polymorphs of Mg(2)SiO(4), forsterite (alpha-Mg(2)SiO(4)), wadsleyite (beta-Mg(2)SiO(4)) and ringwoodite (gamma-Mg(2)SiO(4)), have been calculated using a density functional theory (DFT) approach with a planewave basis set and pseudopotential approximation. These Mg(2)SiO(4) polymorphs are the principal components of the Earth down to depths of 660 km and have been proposed as the hosts of water in the Earth's upper mantle and transition zone. A comparison of our calculations with single-crystal spectroscopic data in the literature for the alpha-polymorph, forsterite, shows that both the magnitude and orientation of the shielding and EFG tensors for O and Si can be obtained with sufficient accuracy to distinguish subtle differences in atomic positions between published structures. We compare calculated (17)O MAS NMR quadrupolar powder lineshapes directly with experimental lineshapes and show that we are able to reproduce them within the precision with which the NMR parameters may be determined from multi-parameter fitting. The relatively small amounts of sample available for the beta- and gamma-polymorphs, arising from the high pressures required for synthesis, has hindered the extraction of NMR parameters in previous work. The application of DFT calculations to these high-pressure polymorphs confirms previous spectral assignments, and provides deeper insight into the empirical correlations and observations reported in the literature. These first-principles methods are highly promising for the determination of local bonding in more complex materials, such as the hydrated forms of Mg(2)SiO(4), by aiding analysis of their multinuclear NMR spectra.     

Studies on silicic acid and its salts: XV. 29Si NMR study of sodium silicate in solution

The ²⁹Si NMR study of aqueous solution of sodium silicate of mole ratio SiO₂ to Na₂O equals one shows that the degree of polymerization of sodium silicate decreases with the decrease of the concentration, but the concentration of monosilicate anion increases, and that the lower the salt concentration, the faster is the rate of increase of the anionic concentration. The effect of SiO₂/Na₂O mole ratio and the concentration of sodium silicate on chemical shifts and spin-lattice relaxation time, T₁, of Si species and the effect of salt on degree of polymerization of sodium silicate in solution were also investigated.

Incorporation of aluminum in the calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) of hydrated portland cements: a high-field 27Al and 29Si MAS NMR investigation

The calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) phase resulting from hydration of a white Portland cement (wPc) in water and in a 0.3 M NaAlO(2) solution has been investigated at 14 and 11 hydration times, respectively, ranging from 6 h to 1 year by (27)Al and (29)Si MAS NMR spectroscopy. (27)Al MAS NMR spectra recorded at 7.05, 9.39, 14.09, and 21.15 T have allowed a determination of the (27)Al isotropic chemical shift (delta(iso)) and quadrupolar product parameter (P(Q) = C(Q)) for tetrahedrally coordinated Al incorporated in the C-S-H phase and for a pentacoordinated Al site. The latter site may originate from Al(3+) substituting for Ca(2+) ions situated in the interlayers of the C-S-H structure. The spectral region for octahedrally coordinated Al displays resonances from ettringite, monosulfate, and a third aluminate hydrate phase (delta(iso) = 5.0 ppm and P(Q) = 1.20 MHz). The latter phase is tentatively ascribed to a less-crystalline aluminate gel or calcium aluminate hydrate. The tetrahedral Al incorporated in the C-S-H phase has been quantitatively determined from (27)Al MAS spectra at 14.09 T and indirectly observed quantitatively in (29)Si MAS NMR spectra by the Q(2)(1Al) resonance at -81.0 ppm. A linear correlation is observed between the (29)Si MAS NMR intensity for the Q(2)(1Al) resonance and the quantity of Al incorporated in the C-S-H phase from (27)Al MAS NMR for the different samples of hydrated wPc. This correlation supports the assignment of the resonance at delta(iso)((29)Si) = -81.0 ppm to a Q(2)(1Al) site in the C-S-H phase and the assignment of the (27)Al resonance at delta(iso)((27)Al) = 74.6 ppm, characterized by P(Q)((27)Al) = 4.5 MHz, to tetrahedrally coordinated Al in the C-S-H. Finally, it is shown that hydration of wPc in a NaAlO(2) solution results in a C-S-H phase with a longer mean chain length of SiO(4) tetrahedra and an increased quantity of Al incorporated in the chain structure as compared to the C-S-H phase resulting from hydration of wPc in water.     

Application of solid-state NMR (13C and 29Si CP/MAS NMR) spectroscopy to the characterization of alkenyltrialkoxysilane and trialkoxysilyl-terminated polyisoprene grafting onto silica microparticles

The solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) was used to characterize surfaces of silica gels chemically modified by alkenyltrialkoxysilanes and trialkoxysilyl terminated 1,4-polyisoprenes. The formation of covalent bonds created between alkoxy functional groups from alkenyltrialkoxysilane or trialkoxysilyl-terminated 1,4-polyisoprene and silanol groups on silica was clearly demonstrated by means of ¹³C and ²⁹Si CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy. Quantitative data, including calculation of the grafting yields in relation with the initial silanol concentrations, were also obtained by using solid-state ²⁹Si-NMR leading to a final well-defined characterization of the silica surfaces. A relatively good agreement was noticed between the grafting yields calculated from ²⁹Si-NMR spectra and those determined from other analytical techniques such as Wijs titration or elementary analysis. The reactivity of the various silica silanols towards each coupling agent was clearly characterized and estimated, as were the proportions of the various grafted structures formed at the silica surface. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Hydrothermal synthesis,crystal structure,and solid-state NMR spectroscopy of a new indium silicate: K2In(OH)(Si4O10)

A new indium(III) silicate, K(2)In(OH)(Si(4)O(10)), has been synthesized by a high-temperature, high-pressure hydrothermal method. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/m (No. 11) with a = 11.410(1) A, b = 8.373(1) A, c = 11.611(1) A, beta = 112.201(2) degrees, and Z = 4. The structure, which is analogous to that of K(2)CuSi(4)O(10), consists of unbranched vierer 4-fold chains of corner-sharing SiO(4) tetrahedra running along the b axis linked together via corner sharing by chains of trans-corner-sharing InO(4)(OH)(2) octahedra to form a 3-D framework which delimits 8-ring and 6-ring channels to accommodate K(+) cations. The presence of hydroxyl groups is confirmed by IR spectroscopy. The (29)Si MAS NMR exhibits four resonances at -88.6, -90.1, -97.4, and -98.2 ppm corresponding to four distinct crystallographic Si sites. A (1)H --> (29)Si CP/MAS NMR experiment was performed to assign the four resonances.

液态29Si NMR研究TEOS/DDS混合体系的氨催化水解动力学

原位引入有机组分对氧化硅体系改性是合成有机-无机杂化硅材料的重要方法.利用原位的29Si液体核磁,研究了甲醇为溶剂、氨水催化条件下的四乙氧基硅烷（TEOS）和二甲基二乙氧基硅烷（DDS）原位共水解的动力学过程.通过改变反应体系中氨和水的浓度,拟合出单体及中间产物浓度随时间的变化曲线,得到了TEOS和DDS各自的水解速率常数以及相应各反应物的反应级数.与单前驱体水解一致的是,在双前驱体系中TEOS和DDS自身的反应级数仍保持一级,但是氨和水的反应级数都有不同程度的增大.与单前驱体水解速率方程相比,混合体系中TEOS的水解速率常数增大.同时,DDS在双前驱体中比单前驱体中的水解速率常数有很大程度的减少.水解动力学表明,TEOS和DDS在双前驱体体系中显示出更平行的水解速率.利用固体29SiMAS NMR,XPS及小角X射线散射（SAXS）手段对双前驱体体系研究得到的信息显示,碱催化条件下原位的TEOS水解中间物与DDS中间产物的原位共缩聚程度很弱.
