Two-dimensional magic angle flipping (MAF) was employed to measure the Q(n) distribution in a 29Si-enriched potassium disilicate glass (K2O·2SiO2). Relative concentrations of [Q(4)] = 7.2 ± 0.3%, [Q(3)] = 82.9 ± 0.1%, and [Q(2)] = 9.8 ± 0.6% were obtained. Using the thermodynamic model for Q(n) species disproportionation, these relative concentrations yield an equilibrium constant k3 = 0.0103 ± 0.0008, indicating, as expected, that the Q(n) species distribution is close to binary in the potassium disilicate glass. A Gaussian distribution of isotropic chemical shifts was observed for each Q(n) species with mean values of −82.74 ± 0.03, −91.32 ± 0.01, and −101.67 ± 0.02 ppm and standard deviations of 3.27 ± 0.03, 4.19 ± 0.01, and 5.09 ± 0.03 ppm for Q(2), Q(3), and Q(4), respectively. Additionally, nuclear shielding anisotropy values of ζ =−85.0 ± 1.3 ppm, η = 0.48 ± 0.02 for Q(2) and ζ = −74.9 ± 0.2 ppm, η = 0.03 ± 0.01 for Q(3) were observed in the potassium disilicate glass.
