TLDR
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

Solvent Effects on the NMR Chemical Shifts of Imidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids and Cellulose Therein
TL;DR: In this article, the interactions of ionic liquids (IL) with solvents usually used in liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy are studied. And the correlation of liquid- and solid-state NMR is shown on EMIM-Ac and cellulose/EMIM-AC dope (10 wt %).

SPINAL modulated decoupling in high field double- and triple-resonance solid-state NMR experiments on stationary samples
Neeraj Sinha,Christopher V. Grant,Chin H. Wu,Anna A. De Angelis,Stanley C. Howell,Stanley J. Opella +5 more
TL;DR: SPINAL-16 modulation is shown to improve the efficiency of 1H and 13C heteronuclear decoupling on single crystals of peptides and on magnetically aligned samples of membrane proteins in bicelles, which is of particular importance because aqueous samples of biomolecules are lossy at high fields, which limits the strengths of the RF fields that can be applied.

Increasing the robustness of heteronuclear decoupling in magic-angle sample spinning solid-state NMR
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple approach to expand the stability of the resonant condition by convolution of the basic modulation with a Gaussian envelope was proposed, which can be used to obtain high-resolution NMR spectra of macromolecules.

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.
