The authors have used [sup 27]Al and [sup 31]P magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to describe quantitatively the relationships between the composition, structure, and properties of glasses in the Na[sub 2]O[center dot]Al[sub 2]O[sub 3][center dot]P[sub 2]O[sub 5] (NAP) system. In general, the glass properties (evaluated in part 1) are most sensitive to changes in Al coordination. [sup 27]Al MAS NMR spectra reveal that octahedrally coordinated Al is most abundant in glasses with O/P ratios less than 3.5, the pyrophosphate structural limit. Tetrahedrally coordinated Al is most abundant in glasses with O/P greater than 3.5. Decreasing Al(OP)[sub 6]/Al(OP)[sub 4] ratio generally correlates with decreasing glass transition temperature and refractive index. The compositional dependence of glass structure and properties can be qualitatively understood using a crystal chemical model based on oxygen charge balancing by the different Al and P moieties.
