The structure of metallurgical- or smelter-grade aluminas (MGAs) is complex and poorly understood. Ultra-high-field solid-state 27Al NMR results on industrial as well as on laboratory-prepared aluminas are discussed in relation to XRD results. It is demonstrated that high-field NMR can effectively be used to quantify the proportion of the thermodynamically stable alpha-alumina phase in these materials. The results demonstrate that 27Al NMR is a vital adjunct to XRD methods to quantify the transition alumina phases that invariably dominate the MGAs. The nature of the disorder in these materials, determined by 27Al NMR, is also compared with literature data, such as XANES and EXAFS studies, on typical laboratory-prepared materials. The utility of 27Al NMR studies to provide new insight into the structural complexity of metallurgical aluminas is shown.Key words: solid-state magic-angle-spinning NMR, metallurgical-grade alumina, transition alumina, gamma-alumina, coordination number.

Abstract The curing of brominated poly(isobutylene-co-4-methylstyrene) was studied using solid-state magic-angle-spinning NMR, a technique which is uniquely suited to investigate cured or crosslinked polymers. This brominated copolymer contains 4-bromomethylstyryl and 4-methylstyryl functional groups and was compression cured with pure ZnO. It was proposed that a precomplex is formed between zinc and the 4-bromomethylstyryl group, which generates a benzylic carbocationic intermediate. Crosslinking predominantly occurs by alkylation of the phenyl ring of another 4-bromomethylstyryl group by the benzylic intermediate. The ZnO brings the two bromides of these groups into proximity. The dependence of the cure chemistry on the concentration of 4-bromomethylstyryl functional groups was studied. Conversion of some 4-bromomethylstyryl groups to oxygenated species upon curing was also observed.
