“…Experimentally, the chemical shifts observed in these glasses are found to range from −270 ppm to −317 ppm and they correlate to −N and >N-. , While we have not conducted experiments to assign the signals detected in 15 N-amino modified TiO 2 uniquely, reasonable assignments can be made by comparison to well-characterized N-containing polymeric, ceramic, and glassy systems. For instance, the 15 N signals of organosilicon and silazane (NSiH, NSiH 2 , NSi 3 ), and borazine (BNH, BNH 2 , BN) polymers have specifically been assigned to the number of nearby protons using inversion recovery cross-polarization (IRCP) experiments. − These studies have determined that the low-field signal is normally tricoordinated N with no hydrogen atoms attached, while the −NH 2 and −NH functionalities are the high field signal. Also, in preceramic graphitic carbon nitride ( g -C 3 N 4 ) materials the different CN x H y aminate groups observed by 15 N IRCP have been assigned to NH, NH 2 , and tertiary N and their chemical shifts follow the same trend …”
