“…At d 1H ¼ À0.5 to 0.7 ppm, 1 H MAS NMR signals of non-interacting metal OH groups, such as AlOH groups at the outer surface of Al 2 O 3 [35] and metal hydroxyl groups in large cages of zeolites, occur [36]. Signals at d 1H ¼1.2-2.2 ppm indicate the presence of SiOH groups, e.g., at the outer surface of silicate and aluminosilicate particles or at framework defects of zeolites [37][38][39][40]. In the case of internal interactions of hydroxyl groups with neighboring framework atoms, slight low-field shifts (larger d 1H values) are observed.…”
