Popis: Ordering of gallium(III) in a series of magnesium gallium (MgGa) layered double hydroxides (LDH’s), [Mg1-xGax(OH)2(NO3)x yH2O] was investigated using solid-state 1H and 71Ga NMR spectroscopy as well as powder X-ray diffraction. Three different proton environments from Mg3-OH, Mg2Ga-OH and intergallery water molecules were assigned and quantified using {1H,71Ga} HETCOR and 1H MAS NMR. A single 71Ga site originating from the unique Ga site in the MgGa LDH’s was observed in 71Ga MAS and 3QMAS NMR spectra. Both 1H MAS NMR spectra recorded at 21.1 T (900MHz) and elemental analysis show that the synthesized MgGa LDH’s had a lower Mg:Ga ratio than that of the starting reactant solution. The origin of this is the formation of soluble [Ga(OH)4]- complexes formed during synthesis, and not due to formation of insoluble gallium (oxy)hydroxides. No sign of Ga-O-Ga connectivities or defects were detected for the MgGa LDH’s.
