Abstract

Water 2H NMR signal on the surface of nano-silica material MCM-41 consists of two overlapping resonances. The 2H water spectrum shows a superposition of a Lorentzian line shape and the familiar NMR powder pattern line shape, indicating the existence of two spin components. Exchange occurs between these two groups. Decomposition of the two signals is a crucial starting point to study the exchange process. In this article we have determined these spin component populations along with other important parameters for the 2H water NMR signal over a temperature range between 223 K and 343 K.
