Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and broadband dielectric spectroscopy are used to investigate the dynamics of small glass-forming molecules confined to restricted geometries. Ethylene glycol molecules are embedded in the supercages of NaX zeolites. The combined application of NMR and broadband dielectric spectroscopy advances the understanding of the slowing down of the motion near the glass transition temperature of these confined molecules. In combination with nuclear spin relaxation and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, dielectric relaxation studies on glass forming molecules allow conclusions on the character of the motion. High resolution 1H magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR measurements not only enable a characterisation of the state of the adsorbed molecules via a chemical shift analysis. By means of an analysis of MAS spinning sidebands we may also estimate a correlation time the meaning of which will be discussed in comparison to the results of longitudinal proton spin relaxation measurements. In addition to broadband dielectric spectroscopy slow molecular motions of partially deuterated ethylene glycol adsorbed in NaX are studied by means of 2H NMR line-shape analysis.

Aluminum coordination distribution for alumina catalysts supported on mesoporous silica was examined. It was shown that aluminum coordination correlates to activity of the catalysts for plasma-enhanced, selective catalytic reduction of NOx with propene. Catalysts were prepared by incorporating aluminum onto the surface of a mesoporous silica support via three different post-synthesis routes to produce varying aluminum coordination. Aluminum trichloride, sodium aluminate, and aluminum isopropoxide precursors were examined. High-resolution, solid state 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance was used to determine aluminum coordination distributions for the resulting catalysts. Unsaturated aluminum sites (i.e., structural defects) correlated with increased activity at high temperatures while tetrahedrally-coordinated aluminum or BrØnsted acid sites correlated with activity at low temperatures.

Abstract A simple, specific, and accurate proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopic method is presented for detection and assay of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate dimer as a contaminant of methyl methacrylate monomer. In addition to minimizing exposure of the analyst to the irritant and toxic methacrylic acid esters, the proposed method requires no sample preparation. Quantitations are based on integrals for signals of methylene protons of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate at 4.37 ppm and methyl protons of methyl methacrylate at 3.70 ppm. Analysis of 10 synthetic mixtures of the monomer with 1–11% of dimer yielded a dimer recovery of 100.5 ± 2.05% (mean ± standard deviation). Correspondence (correlation coefficient, r=0.9999) between the amount of dimer added and the amount found was excellent. The proposed method measures as little as 1% of dimer.
