Multinuclear Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of Model Inorganic Systems (Nmr)
A variety of techniques are employed to obtain information from molybdenum carbonyl on (gamma)-aluminum, the Group IIIA compounds, Al III and silica hydrolysis. Techniques such as rapid magic-angle sample spinning (MASS) of glass sealed samples are used to investigate the highly air sensitive system molybdenum carbonyl on (gamma)-alumina by carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy. The results obtained suggest the presence of very mobile physisorbed molybdenum hexacarbonyl. The two subcarbonyls molybdenum penta-carbonyl and tri-carbonyl are shown to be the most consistent with the data as products after thermal activation.
