Abstract

Advances in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods and hardware offer expanding op-portunities for analysis of materials, interfaces, and surfaces. Here, we demonstrate the application of a very high magnetic field strength of 28.2 T and fast magic-angle-spinning rates (MAS, >40 kHz) to sur-face species relevant to catalysis. Specifically, we present as case studies the 1D and 2D solid-state NMR spectra of important catalyst and support materials, ranging from a well-defined silica-supported organometallic catalyst to dehydroxylated γ-alumina and zeolite solid acids. The high field and fast-MAS measurement conditions substantially improve spectral resolution and narrow NMR signals, which is particularly beneficial for solid-state 1D and 2D NMR analysis of 1H and quadrupolar nuclei such as 27Al at surfaces.
