Abstract
The results of two-dimensional silicon-29 n.m.r. homonuclear correlation spectroscopy (COSY) experiments performed on a nominally 1.5 mol dm–3, 1 : 1 potassium silicate solution prepared with isotropically enriched 29SiO2 are consistent with the simultaneous presence of 22 silicate anions in solution. These include all of the species proposed in earlier double resonance studies. The results suggest that the additional species are silicate cages containing mixtures of both Q2 and Q3 groups in four-membered rings, and possible structures are discussed.Keywords
