چکیده

The study of biologically active and other organic compounds by solid-state NMR has for the most part been limited to spin-1/2 nuclei such as H, C, N, F, and P. The study of O, a quadrupolar nucleus (S = 5/2), in solid organic compounds has been limited due to its low natural abundance, low magnetogyric ratio, and strong secondorder quadrupolar interactions. The first two difficulties can be alleviated to some extent through isotopic substitution, the use of high magnetic fields, and through cross polarization (CP) (1) from H to the central (1/2 <-> —1/2) O transition. For a static sample, it is theoretically possible to achieve a one-shot sensitivity enhancement of 7.3 (assuming a large excess of *H compared to O). An alternative approach involving adiabatic slow passage to transfer magnetization from the satellite transitions to the central transition of O could be used to generate an enhancement factor of 5.0 (2). However, when the sample is spun about an axis inclined with respect to the magnetic field, there can be a significant decrease in CP efficiency (3) because the time dependence of the first-order quadrupolar interaction interferes with Hartmann-Hahn matching. Cross polarization while spinning the sample at an angle of 0° (parallel) with respect to the magnetic field is tantamount to operating under static conditions and maximum CP efficiency can be achieved.

Two-dimensional (17)O multiple quantum magic-angle spinning NMR of organic solids.

We report two-dimensional (2D) (17)O multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning (MQMAS) NMR spectra for four (17)O-labeled organic compounds: [(17)O(2)]-D-alanine (1), potassium hydrogen [(17)O(4)]dibenzoate (2), [(17)O(4)]-D,L-glutamic acid.HCl (3) and [2,4-(17)O(2)]uracil (4). The high spectral resolution observed in the 2D (17)O MQMAS NMR spectra allows extraction of precise (17)O NMR parameters ...

Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Efficiency Increased by Very Fast Magic Angle Spinning

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) has recently emerged as a tool to enhance the sensitivity of solid-state NMR experiments. However, so far high enhancements (>100) are limited to relatively low magnetic fields, and DNP at fields higher than 9.4 T significantly drops in efficiency. Here we report solid-state Overhauser effect DNP enhancements of over 100 at 18.8 T. This is achieved through the...

Triple oscillating field technique for accurate measurements of couplings in homonuclear spin systems

We present a new concept for homonuclear dipolar recoupling in magic-angle-spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR experiments which avoids the problem of dipolar truncation. This is accomplished through the introduction of a new NMR pulse sequence design principle: the triple oscillating field technique. We demonstrate this technique as an efficient means to accomplish broadband dipolar recoupling of h...

Solid-State Polarization-Transfer Experiments Involving Quadrupolar Nuclei

Historically, cross-polarization experiments [1,2] have been used to transfer spin coherence from abundant spins to a dilute spin system. Protons (*H) have been used almost exclusively as the source of strong nuclear polarization for cross-polarization experiments, although there have been some examples where other abundant nuclei have been used. Coupled with magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR [3],...

Dynamic nuclear polarization at 9T using a novel 250GHz gyrotron microwave source

In this communication, we report enhancements of nuclear spin polarization by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) in static and spinning solids at a magnetic field strength of 9T (250 GHz for g = 2 electrons, 380 MHz for 1H). In these experiments, 1H enhancements of up to 170 ± 50 have been observed in 1-13C-glycine dispersed in a 60:40 glycerol/water matrix at temperatures of 20 K; in addition,...
