Al-27 satellite transition spectroscopy (SATRAS) of polycrystalline aluminium borate 9Al(2)O(3) center dot 2B(2)O(3)

Al-27 NMR spectra of polycrystalline aluminium borate 9Al(2)O(3)center dot 2B(2)O(3) have been measured at 104, 130 and 156 MHz. The parameters of the quadrupole interaction and the isotropic chemical shifts have been obtained by fitting the CT/MAS pattern and consideration of the inner satellite transitions m = 3/2 <-> 1/2 and m = -1/2 <-> -3/2. The gain in spectral resolution concerned with the observation of the MAS lines of the inner satellites leads to complete separation of the signals of AlO6 AlO5 and AlO4 polyhedra. Also signals of structural groups of one and the same coordination number can be distinguished. Experimental and theoretical lineshape calculations are compared.
