Abstract
Ab initio NMR gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) calculations were used to constrain assignments of resonances in 27Al NMR spectra of F-bearing alkali aluminosilicate glasses. The effect of bond angles within the range 126-150° on the chemical shift was investigated using cluster models of next-nearest atoms that are charge balanced by hydrogen atoms. GIAO calculations used geometries obtained through optimization at fixed Al-O-Si bond angles. The calculated peak positions for all of the 4-fold coordinated Al species yielded calculated 27Al NMR peak positions in good agreement with the experimental data, suggesting that any or all of the species AlF4-, AlF3O(SiH3)-, AlF2O2(SiH3)2-, and AlFO3(SiH3)3- may be present. Three of the investigated 5-fold coordinated species AlF52-, AlF3O2(SiH3)22-, and AlF2O3(SiH3)32- fit the experimental requirements well, whereas the remaining 5-fold coordinated species that were tested [AlF4O(SiH3)2-, and AlFO4(SiH3)42-] did not.
