Synthesis, characterization, and {sup 1}H and {sup 71}Ga MAS NMR spectroscopy of a novel Mg/Ga double layered hydroxide

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry

A new brucite-like layered Mg/Ga double hydroxide (LDH) of composition [Mg{sub 0.174}Ga{sub 0.256}(OH){sub 2}](CO{sub 3}){sub 0}.134 {center_dot}mH{sub 2}O was synthesized by coprecipitation at pH 10. The hydroxide and the mixed oxides resulting from its thermal decomposition at 523, 823 and 1073K were characterized by X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy, high-resolution solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR), and thermogravimetric analysis. The surface properties of the solid (specific surface) and its basicity were also determined. The Mg /Ga LDH was found to be stable up to 523 K and to decompose into a mixture of periclase MgO and amorphous Ga{sub 2}O{sub 3} at 823 K. Its changes with temperature were monitored by using {sup 1}H and {sup 71}Ga MAS NMR; {sup 1}H MAS NMR spectra revealed the loss of interlayer OH groups supporting the brucite-like structure on calcination at 823 K.
