High-resolution {sup 27}Al nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of AlF{sub 3} ultrafine particles (UFPs) were obtained by means of motional narrowing caused by Brownian motion of UFPs in a liquid phase. The NMR observed spectra can be resolved in five signals at 10, {minus}5, {minus}8, {minus}12, and {minus}16 ppm with respect to an Al{sup 3+}(H{sub 2}O){sub 6} standard. The UFPs were fractionated according to their sizes by using an ultrafiltration technique. From the NMR measurements of fractionated colloidal solutions, the five peaks were classified into three groups by their origins, viz. the peak at {minus}16 ppm is from larger UFPs (diameter D; 9 nm), those at {minus}5, {minus}8, and {minus}12 ppm from smaller UFPs (1 < D < 3 nm), while that at 10 ppm from free ions. Line widths of the larger and smaller UFPs were about 10 and 4 ppm (i.e., 1 and 0.4 kHz), respectively.
