Two-dimensional triple-quantum 23Na MAS NMR spectroscopy of sodium cations in dehydrated zeolites
Abstract:
Two-dimensional triple-quantum (2D-3Q) 23Na MAS NMR spectroscopy has been applied for the investigation of sodium cations in dehydrated zeolites NaY, NaEMT, NaZSM-5 and NaMOR. The experiments have shown that the new 2D-3Q technique allows the determination of the isotropic chemical shifts and quadrupolar couplings of sodium cations with SOQE (second-order quadrupolar effect) parameters of up to ca. 4 MHz. In the present work, SOQE parameters of 1.0-1.2 MHz were found for sodium cations located at positions SI in the hexagonal prisms of dehydrated zeolites NaY and NaEMT. The sodium cations located in the 10-ring and 12-ring channels of dehydrated zeolites NaZSM-5 and NaMOR, respectively, are characterized by a SOQE parameter of 2.0 MHz while a value of 3.1 MHz was determined for sodium cations in the sidepockets of the channels in dehydrated NaMOR.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
