H-1 MAS NMR investigations of ethylene glycol adsorbed in NaX
The application of H-1 MAS NMR allows a detailed study of the behavior of ethylene glycol adsorbed in NaX zeolites which may be used to understand the effect of confinement. Typical changes in the chemical shift values for the CH2 and OH groups were found which are very sensitive to interactions between the molecules and the internal surfaces. This allows clear differentiation between molecules within the zeolite cages and those adsorbed at the outer surface of the zeolite grains and also allows study of the dynamics of the different species. Selective H-1 T, measurements were carried out for various pore-tilling degrees where large differences were found in the thermal mobility. It is shown that for the molecules inside the supercages. a dynamic heterogeneity occurs which may be related to the competing influences of molecule-internal surface interactions and molecule-molecule interactions within a network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
