Abstract

The ^29^Si T~1~ time measurements have been performed under magic angle spinning for supermicroporous Si/Mn materials 1–6 containing Mn^2+^ in concentrations of 0 (1), 1.2 (2), 2.5 (3), 3.8 (4), 15 (5) and 19.8 wt% (6). It has been found that the central lines, corresponding to isotropic chemical shifts, and their sidebands relax differently in samples 2–4 with relatively small Mn^2+^ contents. Because the relaxation curves for 1–6 are nonexponential and identical for 6 at spinning rates of 5, 10 and 12 kHz, dipolar relaxation via the paramagnetic centers is dominant. The relaxation data have been interpreted as a function of Mn^2+^ concentrations in terms of incorporation of the Mn^2+^ ions into the silica lattice when their concentration is small (≤2.5 wt%). At higher concentrations, most of the manganese is located on the surface of the silica. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
