The program discussed in this report is a study of the application of improved high resolution solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to the characterization of zeolite catalysts. During the first phase of this program very pure, and in some cases isotopically enriched faujasites will be prepared and studied by magic angle sample spinning NMR (MASS NMR) and variable angle sample spinning NMR (VASS NMR) on 500 and 360 MHz (Proton frequency) NMR spectrometers. The NMR techniques that will be emphasized are the measurement and analysis of the /sup 17/O NMR properties, /sup 27/Al NMR intensity quantitation, and /sup 27/Al and /sup 29/Si NMR relaxation rates. During the second phase of this program these NMR techniques will be used to study the effects of impurity concentration, dealumination treatments and cation exchange on the NMR properties of faujasites. The initial emphasis of this program during Phase I is on the preparation and measurement of the NMR properties of /sup 17/O enriched Na-Y faujasites. The effort in each phase is broken into four tasks: (1) zeolite preparation, (2) standard zeolite characterization, (3) measurement of zeolite NMR properties, and (4) analysis of NMR data. The main efforts during the third three month period of the program have been the characterization of the /sup 17/O enriched zeolites, particularly X and Y zeolites, and the preparation of additional /sup 17/O enriched zeolites. MASS NMR and VASS NMR as well as static NMR measurements have been made on these materials for /sup 17/O NMR frequencies from 20.4 to 67.8 MHz. Computer simulations of the experimental NMR lineshapes are in progress. Results to date indicate that the observed spectra arise from two different types of oxygen sites, possibly O in Al-O-Si links and chemically bound OH groups. 2 references, 1 figure, 1 table.
