Characterization of zeolitic materials by solid-state NMR — State of the art

Abstract

Publisher Summary Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a well established technique for characterization of zeolites and other porous materials, with respect to structure elucidation, pore architecture, catalytic behavior, and mobility properties. The latest progress in the development of NMR techniques, both with respect to software and hardware improvements, has contributed to the present state of the art for NMR, within the field of characterization of zeolitic materials. Furthermore, the introduction of NMR imaging (110), two-dimensional quintuple-quantum NMR spectroscopy (111), and transfer of populations in double resonance (TRAPDOR) NMR (112, 113) will extent the horizons of zeolite characterization science. This chapter discusses the recent advances in solid-state NMR spectroscopy related to the characterization of zeolitic materials, as well as at the same time presents the latest developments related to new techniques and methods for the zeolite scientists not so familiar, with all the details about solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
