Abstract:
Rotational-echo double-resonance NMR is used to probe the proximity of Cs+ network modifiers to network-forming boron in binary cesium borate glasses. Low- and high-alkali glasses show distinctly different dephasing curves, which indicate preferential association of Cs+ with four-co-ordinate boron ([4]degrees )B) at low-alkali contents only. Different [4]B sites within a given glass appear to be subject to the same 133Cs dipolar field, thus placing constraints on the possible assignments of multiple tetrahedral boron peaks to different types of medium-range order and guiding future structural modeling studies.

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
