Abstract:
Using double-quantum (2)H MAS NMR with (45)Sc recoupling and Bloch-Siegert compensated (2)H-{(45)Sc} TRAPDOR we have identified the overlapping NMR signals of deuterium with and without scandium neighbors in Mg(0.65)Sc(0.35)D(2), a candidate lightweight material for hydrogen storage. At room temperature we also observe a third type of mobile deuterium. Deuterium mobility among the three NMR-distinct sites has been investigated by means of one-and two-dimensional exchange spectroscopy (Exsy). Complete deuterium exchange within 0.1s is observed, which indicates that the three NMR-distinct sites are close together in the crystal lattice. The weak temperature- and MAS-rate dependences observed in Exsy are indicative for a combination of chemical exchange and spin diffusion.
