Sv. Bhat et al., CHEMICAL-SHIFT SPECTROSCOPY OF PROTONIC CONDUCTION IN LAYERED AND DEFECT PYROCHLORE HNBWO6-CENTER-DOT-XH2O, Chemical physics letters, 231(4-6), 1994, pp. 487-490
H-1 chemical shift spectroscopy has been used to determine the diffusi
ng species in layered and defect pyrochlore structures of HNbWO6.xH(2)
O (x=1.5, 1). A narrow signal at delta=11.3 ppm in the former indicate
s the presence and diffusion of H3O+ ions, while for the latter compou
nd delta=7.7 ppm, implying the absence of H3O+ ions.
