Cross-Polarisation-magic-angle-spinning (CPMAS) with high-power proton decoupling [Schaefer, 1976] has been widely applied to obtain high resolution NMR spectra of dilute spin1/2 in solids. This method averages out all anisotropic NMR interactions which transform as second-rank tensors, such as chemical shift anisotropical interactions. However, the principal elements of chemical shift anisotro...

1. Introduction Multidimensional NMR methods have become an important tool in the 1970s. In the past years a new set of experiments has developed whose postprocessing is based on a multidimensional inverse Laplace transformation rather than a Fourier transformation which provides the capabilities to find correlations between various parameters such as diffusion coefficients D and NMR relaxation...

Density functional theory calculations were applied to investigate 13C Chemical Shielding (CS) tensors in cryptolepine (1) and its sulfur (2) and oxygen (3) isosteres. The results showed that the CS of carbon nuclei in these compounds may be divided into three types. First, carbons type α,are those directly bonded to X (X= NH, S, O) and σ 33 shielding component of these carbons are deshield...
