Abstract

29Si magic angle spinning-nuclear magnetic resonance study of three samples of potassium-substituted hexagonal cordierites with KxMg2Al4+xSi5−xO18 formula (x=0.25, 0.50, 1) has allowed the determination, in each case, of the distribution of aluminium and silicon atoms among the tetrahedral framework sites. It has been shown that the excess of aluminium compensating for the insertion of potassium within the hexagonal channels is accommodated by only the T(2) sites of the six-membered rings. A short-range order, which decreases with increasing potassium content, has been evidenced, in agreement with the results from the Rietveld refinement of neutron diffraction data.
