In this article, a simple two pulse phase modulation (TPPM) scheme was proposed to reduce the residual linewidths arising from insufficient proton decoupling power in double resonance magic angle spinning (MAS) experiments.Abstract:
A simple two pulse phase modulation (TPPM) scheme greatly reduces the residual linewidths arising from insufficient proton decoupling power in double resonance magic angle spinning (MAS) experiments. Optimization of pulse lengths and phases in the sequence produces substantial improvements in both the resolution and sensitivity of dilute spins (e.g., 13C) over a broad range of spinning speeds at high magnetic field. The theoretical complications introduced by large homo‐ and heteronuclear interactions among the spins, as well as the amplitude modulation imposed by MAS, are explored analytically and numerically. To our knowledge, this method is the first phase‐switched sequence to exhibit improvement over continuous‐wave (cw) decoupling in a strongly coupled homogeneous spin system undergoing sample spinning.read more

Characterization of the Thermally Induced Topochemical Solid-State Transformation of NH4[N(CN)2] into NCNC(NH2)2 by Means of X-ray and Neutron Diffraction as Well as Raman and Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanism of the solid−solid transformation of NH4[N(CN)2] into NCN=C(NH2)2, which represents the isolobal analogue of Wohler's historic conversion of ammonium cyanate into urea, has been investigated by temperature-dependent single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, neutron powder diffraction and Raman and solid-state NMR spectroscopy as well as thermoanalytical measurements.

Rotary resonance recoupling for half-integer quadrupolar nuclei in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, rotary resonance recouplings of chemical shift anisotropy (CSA), heteronuclear dipolar (HTD), and homonuclear Dipolar (HMD) couplings involving half-integer quadrupolar nuclei under magic-angle sample spinning condition were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, 27Al triplequantum magic angle spinning (3Q-MAS) experiments alleviate the second-order quadrupolar broadening to reveal the structure building units of nonequivalent aluminum octahedra in the most extensively studied aluminum hydroxides, namely, gibbsite, bayerite, and boehmite.

Proton‐enhanced NMR of dilute spins in solids
TL;DR: In this article, the NMR signals of isotopically or chemically dilute nuclear spins S in solids can be enhanced by repeatedly transferring polarization from a more abundant species I of high abundance (usually protons) to which they are coupled.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectra from a Crystal rotated at High Speed
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that when these weak side-spectra are included the second moment does indeed remain invariant even though the second moments of the central portion, which is all that is observed experimentally, becomes smaller.

An improved sequence for broadband decoupling: WALTZ-16
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the proton irradiation sequence by means of a train of spin rotation operators, the overall effect at the end of the cycle being calculated by explicit matrix multiplication, the offset dependence of this proton response determined the residual splitting of the carbon-13 resonance and hence the effectiveness of the decoupling.
