29Si NMR spectroscopy is widely used in various catalytic studies, including:
1. Zeolites and Silica-Based Catalysts: These materials are extensively used in catalysis, and 29Si NMR helps in studying their framework structures and identifying defects. 2. Organosilicon Compounds: In homogeneous catalysis, organosilicon compounds serve as ligands or catalysts. 29Si NMR provides information on their geometric and electronic structures. 3. Silicon-Aluminum Interactions: In mixed oxide catalysts, understanding the interaction between silicon and aluminum is crucial. 29Si NMR can provide insights into these interactions and their effects on catalytic activity.
