Extract

In recent years, the availability of high-field superconducting magnets complemented with mechanical spinning of the samples (magic-angle spinning technique) has resulted in a considerable improvement in resolution of NMR spectra and has widened the use of this technique in the structural analysis of solid samples. In particular, NMR spectroscopy can distinguish the different chemical environments of tetrahedrally coordinated silicon and also determine short-range order in the distribution of Si and Al in micas (Sanz et al., 1983) and zeolites (Fyfe et al., 1983; Klinowski et al., 1982).

For aluminium (I = 5/2), the existence of strong quadrupolar interactions means that, in general, only the m½m−½ transition is observed. However, the signal is broadened by second-order quadrupolar effects, dipolar interactions and chemical shift anisotropies.
