Abstract

We examined the solid-state water-soluble amorphous precursors that are formed by partial thermal decomposition of Al(NO₃)₃·9H₂O (aluminum nitrate nonahydrate: ANN) using Raman and FTIR and solid-state magic-angle spinning NMR spectroscopy. We also studied the species formed in the aqueous alumosols formed by dissolution of the pre-ceramic precursors using ²⁷Al NMR spectroscopy. Species identified in the alumosols included the Al³⁺(H₂O)₆ monomer, the [AlO₄Al₁₂(OH)₂₄(H₂O)₁₂]⁷⁺(Al₁₃) Keggin ion, and the Al₃₀ polycation, [Al₃₀O₈(OH)₅₆(H₂O)₂₄]¹⁸⁺, as well as various other oligomers or nanoparticles containing IV-, V- and VI-coordinated Al³⁺ ions.
