Four NH4-Y faujasites (FAU) with different Si/Al ratios were characterized by 27Al and 29Si magic-anglespinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The quantitative contributions of the Alsites, defect-free Si(nAl), and silanol groups to the different double-six-ring (D6R) periodical building units(PerBUs) of the zeolite framework were calculated from the various Si/Al ratios and relative 27Al and 29SiNMR signal intensities. Four different PerBU systems were assumed in the FAU structure, but only thedistribution of PerBUs containing three, two, or one Al atom pairs in body-diagonal positions of D6Rs followedthe composition of the framework with appropriate precision in the studied composition range (Si/Al = 2.6-19.5). Contrary to BEA, FER, and MOR zeolites, the PerBUs of FAU do not contain Al atoms in unpaired"lone" positions.
