Abstract

The coordination of A1 in several synthetic A1-substituted tobermorites was determined to be tetrahedral by solid-state 27Al MASNMR. Earlier results of tetrahedral Al coordination in Al-substituted tobermorites by x-ray emission were confirmed unequivocally by the new high resolution MASNMR technique. However, two 27Al chemical shifts at about 68 and 57 ppm were observed in the Al-substituted tobermorites which probably indicates two different environments for the Al atom in the structure. 27Al MASNMR technique clearly distinguishes the tetrahedral and octahedral coordination of Al in solid samples.
