“…These quadrupole parameters indicated (1) that Na 2 O increased the electric field gradients at the boron sites of the BO3 structures but reduced the distortion of the gradients and (2) that V 2 O 5 had the opposite effect on the electric field gradients. To remove the overlap of the spinning side bands with any center peaks, spinning rates higher than 29 kHz were required at 9.4 T. Four different center peaks, assigned to VO 6 , VO 5 , and VO 4 structures that were all bonded to neighboring vanadiums and to VO 4 structure with at least one oxygen bonded to boron instead of vanadium, 13,18,19 were obtained from the spectral simulation of the spectra, as shown in Figures 6 and 7. The peaks at -587 ~ -622 ppm were assigned to VO 5 structures as in V 2 O 5 , 14,15,20 those at -564 ~ -618 ppm to VO 4 structures, 15,21,22 those at -520 ~ -536 ppm to VO6, 21,22 and those at -640 ~ -675 ppm to VO4 structures with at least one oxygen bonded to boron instead of vanadium.…”
