Abstract

129Xe NMR spectroscopy of xenon physisorbed in commercially available zeolite NaY is introduced as an experiment suitable for the inorganic chemistry laboratory in the senior year. The integration of concepts from inorganic and physical chemistry (ideal gas law, gas adsorption, solid state structure, porous materials, NMR spectroscopy) make this experiment also suitable for an integrated laboratory approach. The chemical shift of 129Xe at different loadings in the α-cages of zeolite NaY is used to derive the intrinsic chemical shift by extrapolation to zero loading.
