Abstrakt: Solid-state27Al and29Si NMR spectroscopy with magic angle spinning (MAS) of samples was used to study several 1.13 nm tobermorites, most of which were deliberately substituted with aluminium.27Al MASNMR clearly showed that aluminium is tetrahedrally co-ordinated in tobermorite structures. In addition two different aluminium environments resonating at ~ 57 and 64 ppm from [Al(H2O)6]3+ were detected.29Si MASNMR of pure, anomalous tobermorites showed resonances at -85.7 and -95.7 ppm from tetramethylsilane representing chain middle groups (Q2) and branching sites (Q3), respectively. Anomalous Al-substituted tobermorites, on the other hand, showed two to four resonances representing different silicon environments. One Al-substituted tobermorite showed two resonances at -84.6 and -91.5 ppm which were assigned to Q2(0 Al) and Q3 (1 Al), respectively. In the above tobermorite aluminium appeared to have substituted into branching sites only. Two other Al-substituted tobermorites, however, showed four distinct resonances at ~ -82.0, -85.2, -92.0 and -96.0 and these were assigned to Q2 (1 Al), Q2 (0 Al), Q3 (1 Al) and Q3 (0 Al), respectively. Thus these two tobermorites showed substitution of aluminium in the chain middle groups as well as branching sites. Another Al-substituted tobermorite which showed a normal thermal behaviour exhibited, as expected, only Q2(0 Al) and Q2 (1 Al) sites resonating at -84.7 and ~ -80.2 ppm, respectively. No Q3 sites were detected because few or no branching sites are present in this normal tobermorite. The results reported here clearly demonstrate the usefulness of solid-state27Al and29Si MASNMR spectroscopy for the investigation of short-range order in alumino-silicate materials.
