Abstract

Abstract Using nuclear double resonance with spin mixing by level crossing (DRLC) the nuclear quadrupole resonance spectrum for 2 D and 7 O have been obtained at 77 K in isotopically enriched Ice II, a proton-ordered high-pressure phase of ice. Four inequivalent deuterium sites were found which could be assigned in pairs to two inequivalent water molecules with the aid of a double quadrupole resonance spectrum. The electric field gradient parameters for the deuterium sites of one molecule are e 2 gQ / h = 225.8 ± 0.3 kHz; η = 0.127 ± 0.005 and e 2 gQ / h = 219.8 ± 0.3 kHz, η = 0.134 ± 0.005; and for the other are e 2 gQ / h = 226.1 ± 0.3 kHz, η = 0.100 ± 0.005 and e 2 qQ / h = 220.3 ± 0.3 kHz, η = 0.102 ± 0.005. For the 17 O site in fully protonated Ice II, e 2 qQ / h = 6983 ± l 0kHz, η = 0.865 ± 0.007. The implications of these results in elucidating the structure of Ice II are discussed.
