O Triclusters Revisited: Classical MD and Quantum Cluster Results for Glasses of Composition (Al2O3)2(SiO2)
2006
The (17)O NMR spectrum of CaAl(2)Si(2)O(8) glass shows two types of O sites that are not present in the crystalline material. One of these, with (17)O NMR parameters C(Q) = 2.3 MHz and delta = +20 ppm, has been assigned to a "tricluster" O, a local geometry in which the O is coordinated to three tetrahedrally coordinated atoms, either Al or Si. For crystalline CaAl(4)O(7), a tricluster site (with three Al linkages to O, i.e., OAl(3)) has been characterized experimentally, with a C(Q) of 2.5 MHz and a delta of about +40 ppm. Thus, a C(Q) value of 2.5 MHz or less seems to be a characteristic of such sites, although they may show a range of delta values. However, several different quantum chem…
