Abstract
Silicon-29 longitudinal (T1) and transverse (T2) NMR relaxation times have been measured in the clear solution precursor of silicalite-1 of composition 25 TEOS -5 TPAOH-400 H2O. The nanoparticles as well as the silicate oligomers are giving rise to observable resonances. An unusually long T1 relaxation time of 126 s is observed for Q4 in nanoparticles. Proper care for acquisition is therefore required for quantifying the distribution of Qn of the nanoparticles, an essential measurement to follow the nanoparticles connectivity evolution. © 2009 American Chemical Society.
