Owing to the implementation of acquisition techniques specific for nuclei with very large quadrupolar interaction (full shifted echo and variable offset cumulative spectra (VOCS)), NMR spectra of 69Ga and 71Ga are obtained in crystallised (PbGaF5, Pb3Ga2F12, Pb9Ga2F24 and CsZnGaF6) and glassy (PbF2-ZnF2-GaF3) gallium fluorides. Simulations of both static (full echo or VOCS) and 15 kHz MAS spectra allow to obtain consistent determinations of isotropic chemical shifts and very large quadrupolar parameters (nu(Q) up to 14 MHz). In the crystalline compounds whose structures are unknown, the number and the local symmetry of the different gallium sites are tentatively worked out. For the glassy systems, a continuous Czjzek's distribution of the NMR quadrupolar parameters accounts for the particular shape of the NMR spectrum.

Article Synopsis
- Gallium is becoming a point of interest in research due to its moderately volatile nature, which may provide insights into geological processes like condensation and evaporation.
- There is currently inconsistency in gallium isotope values across different laboratories, prompting the development of two purification methods for more precise gallium isotopic analysis in rock materials.
- Both methods were tested on synthetic solutions and geological samples, yielding similar results with no isotope fractionation, allowing researchers to accurately define gallium isotopic compositions for certain USGS reference materials.

Surface metal hydrides (M-H) are ubiquitous in heterogeneous catalytic reactions, while the detailed characterizations are frequently hindered by their high reactivity/low concentration, and the complicated surface structures of the host solids, especially in terms of practical solid catalysts. Herein, combining instant quenching capture and advanced solid-state NMR methodology, we report the first direct and unambiguous NMR evidence on the highly reactive surface gallium hydrides (Ga-H) over a practical GaO catalyst during direct H activation. The spectroscopic effects of Ga and Ga isotopes on the H NMR signal are clearly differentiated and clarified, allowing a concrete discrimination of the Ga-H signal from the hydroxyl crowd.

The question of whether the broad Ga nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal of hexagonal gallium nitride (h-GaN) at 530-330 ppm is related to the Knight shift (caused by the presence of carriers in semiconductors) is the subject of intense debate. The intensity increase observed for the narrower Ga magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR signals above 1050 °C suggests that the broader signals do not reflect the decomposition of h-GaN. Herein, we utilized Ga multi-quantum (MQ) MAS NMR spectroscopy to reveal that the quadrupolar interaction products for the broad signal of nanocrystalline h-GaN are almost constant in the entire shift range that we investigated, equaling 1.

The properties and applications of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are strongly dependent on the nature of the metals and linkers, along with the specific conditions employed during synthesis. Al-fumarate, trademarked as Basolite A520, is a porous MOF that incorporates aluminum centers along with fumarate linkers and is a promising material for applications involving adsorption of gases such as CO. In this work, the solvothermal synthesis and detailed characterization of the gallium- and indium-fumarate MOFs (Ga-fumarate, In-fumarate) are described.

The capabilities of Cu isotope ratio measurements are often restricted by the small volumes of sample available and/or their low Cu concentration. In this work, an analytical approach was developed for performing Cu isotopic analysis via multi-collector ICP-mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) at ultra-trace level using Ga as an internal standard for mass bias correction. The minimum concentration of Cu required for accurate and precise isotope ratio measurements was established to be 20 μg L with wet plasma conditions and 5 μg L with dry plasma conditions.
