²⁷Al Solid-state NMR Structural Studies of Hydrotalcite Compounds Calcined at Different Temperatures

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Hydrotalcites are anionic clays that are quite prevalent in nature and their importance is growing more and more because of their very wide range of potential applications and uses. Understanding the structural and compositional changes that occur on the molecular scale during the thermal decomposition of hydrotalcite compounds is essential for the basic prediction and comprehensive understanding of the behavior and technical application of these materials. In this study, several hydrotalcite compounds calcined at different temperatures for applications in a chlorine resistant textile were prepared and 27-Aluminm solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used as a tool to study their local structure and behavior. The changes in the Al coordination of the hydrotalcite compounds were investigated with one dimensional (1D) solid-state magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The two broad resonances arising from the structurally different Al coordinations of these compounds were clearly resolved by two dimensional (2D) triple quantum magic angle spinning (3QMAS) NMR spectroscopy.
