Zeolite Structure Analysis with Powder X-ray Diffraction and Solid-state Nmr Techniques
Large advances in the development of catalytic materials were made with the synthesis of zeolites, which are porous crystalline materials that can be used as catalysts, catalyst supports, sorbents and ion exchangers. Zeolite structures consist of T-atoms tetrahedrally coordinated to oxygen atoms, where T can be AI, Si, or any other element capable of isomorphous substitution for Si. The unavail...
متن کاملMolecules in Motion: a Study in the Synergy of X-ray Diffraction and Solid State NMR*
The Fourier transform of the X-ray diffraction pattern of a crystal is the electron density of the crystal averaged over space and time. In the determination of the structure of a crystal this electron density is modeled by a set of spheres of electron density representing the atoms together with a »smearing function«, the atomic displacement parameters, representing the motion (translation and...
متن کاملSecondary Structure Adopted by the Gly-Gly-X Repetitive Regions of Dragline Spider Silk
Solid-state NMR and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are presented to help elucidate the molecular secondary structure of poly(Gly-Gly-X), which is one of the most common structural repetitive motifs found in orb-weaving dragline spider silk proteins. The combination of NMR and computational experiments provides insight into the molecular secondary structure of poly(Gly-Gly-X) segments and p...
متن کاملExploiting the Synergy of Powder X-ray Diffraction and Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy in Structure Determination of Organic Molecular Solids
We report a strategy for structure determination of organic materials in which complete solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectral data is utilized within the context of structure determination from powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) data. Following determination of the crystal structure from powder XRD data, first-principles density functional theory-based techniques within the GIPAW ap...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Brazilian Smectite by Solid State NMR and X-Ray Diffraction Techniques
As técnicas de difração de raios-X (DRX), análise térmica diferencial (ATD) e ressonância magnética nuclear no estado sólido com rotação no ângulo mágico (RMN-MAS) de Al e Si foram utilizadas para o monitoramento das etapas de fracionamento de uma amostra de esmectita brasileira, previamente moída, originária de Campina Grande, Paraíba, e utilizada como matériaprima para a preparação de catalis...
