Abstract Solid‐state NMR experiments on 2 H, 31 P, 13 C, and 1 H nuclei, including 31 P T 1 , 1 H T 1 , and 1 H T measurements, as well as on the kinetics of proton‐phosphorus cross‐polarization have been performed to characterize the crystalline and amorphous α‐zirconium phosphates, which were intercalated with D 2 O and/or CD 3 OD. The 13 C{ 1 H} CP MAS NMR experiment performed for compound 1‐CD 3 OD (Zr (HPO 4 ) 2 . 0.2CD 3 OD) with carbon cross‐polarization via protons of phosphate groups has provided a prove that the methanol was intercalated into the interlayer spaces of this compound. The variable‐temperature 2 H solid‐echo MAS NMR spectra of intercalated compounds demonstrated that the methanol molecules, in contrast to the mobile water, were immobile, keeping, however, free CD 3 rotations around the C 3 ‐axis. It has been demonstrated that the intercalated species, D 2 O and CD 3 OD, do not affect the high‐frequency motions of the phosphate groups. By utilizing local structural models that satisfy the constraints of the experimental data, it has been suggested that the immobile methanol molecules are located in the cavity between two neighboring layers of the zirconium phosphates. Thus, the present work illustrates the reliable criteria in a comprehensive NMR approach to structural and dynamic studies of such systems.
