Glasses along the join NaAlSi 3 O 8 -NaBSi 3 O 8 and the end-member crystalline phases albite and reedmergnerite were investigated using 11 B, 23 Na, 27 Al and 29 Si MAS NMR spectroscopy and oxide-melt solution calorimetry. The glasses have substantial positive enthalpies of mixing described by the equation , where X is the mole fraction Rd component. 11 B MAS NMR spectra show that boron occurs in both trigonal and tetrahedral coordination in the glasses, with the percentage of B in trigonal coordination decreasing from about 60% at Rd 20 Ab 80 to about 29% at Rd 100 . Thus, the glasses are structurally more complex than the end-member crystals which are tetrahedral framework minerals. The NMR data suggest that all or most of the Si, Al and tetrahedral B occur in Q 4 (framework) sites. They are also consistent with the ideas that most of the tetrahedral B does not extensively copolymerize with trigonal boron, that at least some of the non-bridging oxygens formed by the presence of trigonal boron are located on SiO 4 tetrahedra, and that Si and trigonal B do not occur as next-nearest neighbors. Both the NMR and the H mix results indicate the presence of clustering. Such clustering might involve separation into framework regions and regions dominated by trigonal boron and/or into B-rich and Al-rich framework regions.
