Pentacoordinated silicon units, SiO4/2F-, were found by solid-state NMR experiments in various
as-made high-silica zeolites (Beta, SSZ-23, ITQ-3, ITQ-4, ZSM-12, Silicalite-1) that are prepared in the presence
of fluoride ions as mineralizing agents. The SiO4/2F- units are part of the framework, being connected, through
sharing of the four O atoms, with four neighboring tetracoordinated SiO4/2 units. These five-coordinate silicon
units balance the charge of the cationic organic structure-directing agent. The 29Si chemical shift of these sites
is between −140 and −150 ppm, and the 19F chemical shifts are between −56 and −78 ppm. The zeolites
SSZ-23, ITQ-4, and Silicalite-1 show a dynamic motion of the fluoride ions at room temperature which is
frozen out at a temperature of 130−140 K. In the case of fluoride motion, the 29Si chemical shifts are between
−120 and −150 ppm, indicating an exchange between four- and five-coordinate silicon, which means that the
fluoride ions exchange between different framework silicon sites. The rigid SiO4/2F- units show a characteristic
parameter of the 19F chemical shift anisotropy: the span value, Ω = δ11 − δ33, is between 80 and 87 ppm.
Mit Fluorid als Mineralisator wurden durch Hydrothermalsynthesen die “High‐silica”‐Zeolithe Nonasil und ZSM‐5 erhalten. 29Si‐NMR‐spektroskopisch wurde gezeigt, daß fünffach koordiniertes Silicium in Form von SiO4/2F−‐Gruppen im Zeolithgerüst vorliegt (siehe 29Si{19F}‐CP‐MAS‐NMR‐Spektrum von Nonasil rechts). In ZSM‐5 erfolgt bei Raumtemperatur ein dynamischer Austausch des F−‐Ions zwischen verschiedenen Siliciumatomen, der bei 140 K eingefroren ist.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
