Abstract:
A new 29Si solid-state MAS NMR experiment is described for investigating the framework structures of pure silica zeolites. The symmetry-based homonuclear dipolar recoupling sequence SR26411 has been incorporated into a two-dimensional NMR experiment to probe the Si-O-Si bonding connectivities and long-range Si-Si distances in zeolite frameworks. This dipolar recoupling sequence is shown to have a number of advantages over the J-coupling-based INADEQUATE experiment. For the clathrasil Sigma-2, it is demonstrated that there is excellent agreement between experimental double-quantum build-up curves obtained from a series of two-dimensional double-quantum correlation spectra and simulated curves which consider all Si-Si distances out to 8 A. This result suggests that this experiment could be used to solve zeolite frameworks with unknown structures.

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.
