Abstract
The self-diffusion of adsorbed molecules of water and benzene in porous synthetic opals has been studied by pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance. The study indicates two “phases” of water molecules differing by the self-diffusion coefficients, indicating two types of porosities existing in the synthetic opals. The smallest self-diffusion coefficient characterizes water in ultramicropores found on the surface of nanospheres. The form of the diffusion decay depends on temperature in the region of high temperatures as a result of exchange between pores of different sizes. The ultramicropores are inaccessible for the largest benzene molecules. Water adsorption and self-diffusion data confirm that annealing of the opal samples at 1293 K caused the collapse of ultramicropores.
