To gain new structural insights into phase D and superhydrous B, two phases of potential mantle water reservoir, we have applied a range of one- (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) (1)H and (29)Si NMR techniques, as well as Raman spectroscopy, to samples synthesized at 24 GPa and 900 similar to 1100 degrees C. These data have revealed that phase D is characterized by disordered and varying local structures around both Si and H. The (29)Si NMR spectra of phase D contain a nearly symmetric, broad peak near -177.7 ppm, attributable to octahedral Si with local structural disorder. The high-resolution (1)H CRAMPS spectra of phase D contain a main broad peak near 12.6 ppm with shoulders near 10 and 7 ppm, suggesting a distribution of hydrogen bonding distances. For superhydrous B, our comprehensive 2D (1)H and (29)Si NMR results have clearly revealed that it contains dissimilar hydrogen (H1-H2) pairs and one tetrahedral Si site, consistent with space group Pnn2.
