Abstract
Abstract 23Na two-dimensional nutation NMR was applied to Na1+x* Zr2SxP3-xO12 with x = 0, 1, and 2. The nutation spectrum in each compound consists of two clearly separated peaks corresponding to the two crystallographically inequivalent sodium sites. In the compound with x = 2 the nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (e2 Qq/h) and the asymmetry parameters (η) were by spectral simulation estimated to be 1.0 MHz and 0 for one site, and 1.5 MHz and 0.8 for the other site. The spectrum varies considerably on heating; the two peaks merge into a single peak at high temperatures due to fast ion exchange between the two different sites. For x = 0 and x = 1 the nutation spectra did not show any significant temperature dependence, suggesting that the rates of the sodium ion exchange are negligibly low.
