We introduce a new solid-state NMR method, which uses very slow sample rotation to visualize NMR spectra whose width exceeds feasible spectrometer bandwidths. It is based on the idea that if we reorient a tensor by a known angle about a known axis, the shifts in the NMR frequencies observed across the spectral width allow us to reconstruct the entire tensor. Called STREAQI (Slow Turning Reveals...

High-resolution liquid- and solid-state 119Sn NMR spectroscopy was used to study the bonding environment in the series of monomeric, two-coordinate Sn(II) compounds of formula Sn(X)C6H3-2,6-Trip2 (X = Cl, Cr(eta 5-C5H5)(CO)3, t-Bu, Sn(Me)2C6H3-2,6-Trip2; Trip = C6H2-2,4,6-i-Pr3). The trends in the principal components of the chemical shift tensor extracted from the solid-state NMR data were con...

The Covariance NMR Toolbox is a new software suite that provides a streamlined implementation of covariance-based analysis of multi-dimensional NMR data. The Covariance NMR Toolbox uses the MATLAB or, alternatively, the freely available GNU OCTAVE computer language, providing a user-friendly environment in which to apply and explore covariance techniques. Covariance methods implemented in the t...

Melting points were obtained on Veego VMP-1 apparatus in open capillary tubes and are uncorrected. The reactions were monitored by TLC on silica gel thin layer plates. Compounds were analyzed for C, H, N and analytical results obtained for these elements were within ±0.5% of the calculated values for the formula shown. IR spectra were obtained using a Perkin Elmer spectrum-2 FT-IR spectrometer....

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a widely used spectroscopic method in a broad range of disciplines. Unfortunately NMR suffers from a low intrinsic sensitivity. The low sensitivity of NMR can be successfully improved by application of hyperpolarization technique called Para-Hydrogen Induced Polarization (PHIP) which was discovered in 1986 [1-3]. Till now, a substantial progress in the method...

Supporting Information General methods. Infrared spectra were recorded on a Nicolet AVATAR-360 spectrometer. H NMR and C NMR spectra were recorded at Bruker AM-300 instruments. Low resolution mass spectra (m/z) were recorded on HP5989A. High-resolution mass spectra were recorded on Concept 1H or MALDI/DHB. Microanalyses were performed using a Elemantar Vario EL. All reaction flasks were dried b...
