Gw. Haddix et al., DOUBLE-ROTATION AND MAGIC-ANGLE-SPINNING NMR-STUDY OF AN ULTRASTABLE Y-ZEOLITE, Journal of the American Chemical Society, 116(2), 1994, pp. 672-674
Al-27 double rotation (DOR) NMR is applied to a USY zeolite. It is sho
wn clearly that a fraction of the tetrahedral aluminum species present
suffers from second-order quadrupolar anisotropy. This is evident sin
ce DOR spinning sidebands of a tetrahedral species clearly appear. Thi
s shows the utility of the DOR method for studying highly distorted si
tes and/or nonframework aluminum sites in zeolites.
