Abstract
The local structure of the model glasses (NaPO3)1–x-(AlF3)x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4), prepared by standard melt-cooling, was extensively investigated by high-resolution solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) including advanced double-resonance techniques. This glass system offers the opportunity of studying five different heteronuclear distance correlations (Na–F, Na–P, P–F, Al–F, and P–Al) by 10 distinct double-resonance experiments, involving all of the constituent elements present. 27Al MAS-NMR data indicate that aluminum is predominantly six-coordinated. According to 27Al{31P} and 27Al{19F} rotational-echo double-resonance (REDOR) spectroscopic results, two to three Al–F and three to four Al–O–P linkages occur in these glasses, independent of composition x. 19F MAS-NMR spectra show the presence of terminal P-bound and Al-bound fluorine species. A small amount of fluorine bridging to two aluminum octahedra, which could be assigned based on 19F{27Al} and 19F{31P} REDOR experiments, was also detected. 19F{23N...
