A two-dimensional nutation NMR experiment is used to observe the change of quadrupole parameters of sodium ions in zeolite NaA when the zeolite is loaded in steps with water. The authors can detect two sodium sites in the dry zeolite, at respectively 6-rings and 8-rings, and can follow the water absorption at these sites. When the amount of absorbed water is increased in steps, first the quadrupole interaction of sodium at the 6-rings decreases; with more absorbed water the quadrupole interaction of the sodium ions at the 8-rings becomes small. Relaxation effects in the rotating frame, studied by combining rotary echoes with nutation NMR, indicate a mobility of sodium ions or water molecules.
