The Al siting in the silicon rich ZSM-22 and Theta-1 zeolites of the TON structure was investigated analyzing already published 27Al 3Q MAS NMR experimental data using QM/MM calculations. The results of our computations show that Al atoms can be located in 6 framework T positions because the two eightfold sites (T1 and T2) split into four fourfold T sites after an Al/Si substitution. The observed resonance at 55.5 ppm corresponds to the T4 site which is predominantly occupied by Al. This site is not located on the surface of the TON ten-membered ring channel and thus the protonic sites related with the majority of Al atoms in the TON structure exhibit a significantly limited reaction space. The 27Al NMR signals centered at 57.6 and 58.7 ppm correspond to either the T2 and T3 sites, respectively, or only to T2. The T2 and T3 sites accommodate some 40% and up to 10%, respectively, of Al while the T1 site is unoccupied by Al. Isotropic shifts of 61.1 and 61.6 ppm were calculated for Al atoms located in the T1-1 and T1-2 sites, respectively. The effect of a silanol "nest" as a next-next-nearest neighbor on the 27Al isotropic chemical shift of Al located in the T4 site is calculated to be less than 1 ppm.

Abstract29Si, 27Al MAS NMR is used to characterize Laponite RD and synthetic saponites of variable interlayer charge. The Si/Al ratios are in good agreement with the calculated charge from chemical analysis except for the lowest-charged saponite. In contrast to the 29Si MAS NMR spectra in which resolved signals are detected, the 27Al MAS NMR spectra show one signal whose linewidth increases with the clay charge. The water content of the clay samples was obtained from 1H MAS NMR.The 2D MQMAS NMR technique is required to obtain a high-resolution spectrum of nuclei with strong quadrupolar interaction. This method was applied to the 23Na nucleus of clay counterions and to the 27Al structural nucleus. One well-defined 23Na NMR signal is observed for all the clays studied except the highest-charged saponite. Possible explanations for this different behaviour are discussed. The calculated isotropic chemical shift evolves progressively with the clay charge whereas the deduced quadrupolar interaction does not change significantly. The 27Al 2D 3QMAS technique was not able to resolve more than one signal.

This paper proposes a new method for calculating the monomer reactivity ratios for binary copolymerization based on the terminal model. The original optimization method involves a numerical integration algorithm and an optimization algorithm based on k-nearest neighbour non-parametric regression. The calculation method has been tested on simulated and experimental data sets, at low (<10%), medium (10–35%) and high conversions (>40%), yielding reactivity ratios in a good agreement with the usual methods such as intersection, Fineman–Ross, reverse Fineman–Ross, Kelen–Tüdös, extended Kelen–Tüdös and the error in variable method. The experimental data sets used in this comparative analysis are copolymerization of 2-(N-phthalimido) ethyl acrylate with 1-vinyl-2-pyrolidone for low conversion, copolymerization of isoprene with glycidyl methacrylate for medium conversion and copolymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide with N,N-dimethylacrylamide for high conversion. Also, the possibility to estimate experimental errors from a single experimental data set formed by n experimental data is shown.

The crystal structure of a new phase consisting of the inclusion of the hyperpolarizable molecule p-N,N-dimethylnitroaniline (dimethyl-para-nitroaniline or dmpNA) in the large-pore zeolite mordenite (MOR) has been determined from high-resolution synchrotron powder diffraction at 300 and 90 K. The unit-cell parameters and space group at 300 K are similar to those of as-synthesized mordenite. The crystallographic study indicates that the MOR straight channels are almost fully loaded with molecules that are disordered over eight symmetry-related sites. As expected, the molecules are located in the large 12-membered ring channel, at the intersection with the secondary eight-membered channel with which they might form hydrogen bonds. The elongation axes (and then the dipole moments) of the molecules are slightly tilted (28.57°) from [001]. The configuration found suggests an interaction of dmpNA with framework O atoms through its methyl groups.

ABSTRACTA model based on the valence-force-field (VFF) model has been developed specifically for the calculation of the irascibility gaps in III-V nitride alloys. In the dilute limit, this model allows the relaxation of the atoms on both sublattices. It was found that the energy due to bond stretching and bond bending was lowered and the solubility limit was increased substantially when both sublattices were allowed to relax to distances as large as the sixth nearest neighbor positions. Using this model, the equilibrium mole fraction of N in GaP was calculated to be 6×l0−7 at 700°C. This is slightly higher than the calculated results from the semi-empirical delta lattice parameter (DLP) model. Both the temperature dependence and the absolute values of the calculated solubility agree closely with the experimental data. The solubility is more than three orders of magnitude larger than the result obtained using the VFF model with the group V atom positions given by the virtual crystal approximation, i.e., with relaxation of only the first neighbor bonds. Other nitride systems, such as GaAsN, AlPN, AlAsN, InPN, and InAsN were investigated as well. The equilibrium mole fractions of nitrogen in InP and InAs are the highest, which agrees well with recent experimental data where high N concentrations have been produced in InAsN alloys. Calculations were also performed for the alloy systems with mixing on the group III sublattice that are so important for device applications. Allowing relaxation to the 3rd nearest neighbor gives an In solubility in GaN at 800°C of less than 6%. Again, this is in agreement with the results of the DLP model calculation. This result may partially explain the difficulties experienced with the growth of these alloys. Indeed, evidence of solid immiscibility has recently been reported. A significant miscibility gap was also calculated for the AlInN system, but the AlGaN system is completely miscible.
