Despite the numerous studies of the famous indigo-based pigment Maya Blue, there are still many questions regarding the elucidation of its structure. Here, two-dimensional (2D) 1H–29Si heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) spectroscopy with frequency-switched Lee-Goldburg (FSLG) homonuclear decoupling is applied to sepiolite and sepiolite–indigo complexes. Owing to the high resolution in the 1H dimension of the 2D 1H–29Si HETCOR spectrum obtained by FSLG homonuclear decoupling, the assignment of the 29Si cross-polarization magic-angle spinning (CPMAS) spectrum of sepiolite is clearly confirmed. Moreover, 2D 1H–29Si FSLG-HETCOR spectroscopy gives the first direct evidence that some indigo molecules are inserted in the sepiolite structure whereas no interaction between indigo and the external side surface (silanol groups) is observed in the 29Si CPMAS spectra. These results are consistent with the fact that indigo molecules interact with water coordinated to magnesium and suggest that Maya Blue made from sepiolite is not a surface complex.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
