28. 27Al MAS NMR spectra. Additional spectra were taken several months later at 182.4 MHz with a Bruker Avance spectrometer and similar acquisition conditions, except that the spinning rate was 30 kHz. These spectra are much better resolved and confirmed the estimates of relative populations of coordination environments.

Much of the work was conducted at University of California, Davis, during G.F.'s sabbatical leave. We thank A. P. Lee, P. Yu, and M. Ziliox for technical assistance; B. Wehrli and A. C. Johnson for valuable discussions; and R. Schulin and L. Paul for general support. Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry analyses were provided by A. Birkefeld.
