[{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"The influence of the hydrophilicity of mesoporous silica on wetting with water was investigated by comparing a standard hydrophilic MCM-41 and a partially hydrophobicized material obtained by trimethylsilylation of MCM-41. The materials were characterized using X-ray diffraction, N2 physisorption, thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, as well as 29Si and 13C solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Trimethylsilylation leads to a reduction of the pore diameter (determined using density functional theory) from 3.8 to 3.6 nm. Using proton solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) under magic-angle spinning, it was found that the filling of these narrow pores with increasing amounts of water follows an axial mode, independent of surface hydrophilicity. The axial model of pore-filling is supported by the coexistence of two characteristic 1H NMR water signals, one from physisorbed water molecules, which can exchange protons with silanol groups, and one from bulk-like water in completely filled pores, where water molecules are in exchange between sites at the pore wall and sites closer to the center of the pore."}],"issue":"5","publication":"Analysis & Sensing","department":[{"_id":"35"},{"_id":"2"},{"_id":"307"}],"type":"journal_article","date_created":"2026-10-01T14:13:13Z","intvolume":"         6","date_updated":"2026-10-01T14:17:52Z","publication_status":"published","author":[{"first_name":"Yanjing","last_name":"Zhao","full_name":"Zhao, Yanjing"},{"id":"11848","full_name":"Weinberger, Christian","first_name":"Christian","last_name":"Weinberger"},{"full_name":"Tiemann, Michael","orcid":"0000-0003-1711-2722","first_name":"Michael","last_name":"Tiemann","id":"23547"},{"full_name":"Schmidt, Claudia","last_name":"Schmidt","first_name":"Claudia","orcid":"0000-0003-3179-9997","id":"466"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2629-2742","2629-2742"]},"title":"NMR Investigation of Water in Mesoporous Silica Materials With Different Surfaces","year":"2026","doi":"10.1002/anse.70109","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1"}],"article_number":"e70109","quality_controlled":"1","citation":{"mla":"Zhao, Yanjing, et al. “NMR Investigation of Water in Mesoporous Silica Materials With Different Surfaces.” <i>Analysis &#38; Sensing</i>, vol. 6, no. 5, e70109, Wiley, 2026, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1002/anse.70109\">10.1002/anse.70109</a>.","ama":"Zhao Y, Weinberger C, Tiemann M, Schmidt C.
