Abstract: The accessibility of acidic protons in 12-phosphotungstic acid and its cesium hydrogen salt has been studied by the probe molecule trimethylphosphine and solid state NMR. The experimental results indicate that 2/5 acidic protons in the anhydrous 12-phosphotungstic acid can be accessed by the probe molecules. However, only acidic protons on the surface of the cesium salt of 12-phosphotungstic acid can be accessed by the probe molecules trimethylphosphine.

Key words: 12-phosphotungstic acid, accessibility of acidic protons, solid state NMR, probe molecule, trimethylphosphine, pseudoliquid phase
