Popis: A study has been made of the 11 B NMR spectrum of glassy B 2 O 3 with the aid of computer-simulated NMR spectra. It is shown that the glass contains a distribution of boron sites centered on an average or most probable site characterized by a quadrupole coupling constant of 2.66 MHz and an electric field gradient asymmetry parameter of 0.11. It is concluded that 11 B NMR alone cannot determine the exact nature of the distribution. The implications of the NMR data with respect to the suggested existence in the glass of distorted BO 4 “tetrahedra” is discussed.
