SSNMR confirms silicate ion substitution in the apatitic structure of 0.8wt% Si hydroxyapatite by Marc-Krystelle Mafina, Rory M. Wilson, Gregory J. Rees, Peter Gierth, Alice C. Sullivan, Karin A. Hing

“…It has been hypothesized that silicon is present in the form of silicate groups site-specifically substituted in the hydroxyapatite lattice for phosphate groups, or that there may be an amorphous silicon-rich phase in the vicinity of the grain boundaries. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) spectroscopy was carried out to view the elemental interactions using phosphorus (31P) and silicon (29Si) probes to confirm or refute the presence of silicate groups in relation to phosphate groups in the bulk material structure. …”

Adsorbate-driven dynamic active sites in stannosilicate zeolites by Xianfeng Yi, Yao Xiao, Changjiu Xia, Fengqing Liu, Yujia Liu, Yu Hui, Xin Yu, Yucai Qin, Wei Chen, Zhiqiang Liu, Lijuan Song, Anmin Zheng

“…In this study, a dynamic transformation of framework Sn−O−Si sites to Sn−OH/Si−OH pairs and subsequently a pseudo-Brønsted acid in stannosilicate zeolites upon molecular adsorption, which is analogous to various adsorbates/reactants under working conditions, was identified by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for the first time, which challenges the widespread assumption that the active center structures remain rigid/stable during the catalytic process. …”
