JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2023; 354:107530. [PMID: 37586252 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmr.2023.107530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 08/02/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023]
Abstract
Amorphous lithium phosphorus oxynitrides (LiPON), prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering, have become the electrolytes of choice for all-solid-state thin film microbatteries since its discovery in early 1990s. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of understanding of their atomic-level structure and its influence on ionic conductivity. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy represents a promising technique to determine the atomic-level structure of LiPON glasses but is challenging owing to its low sensitivity in the case of thin film materials. Recently, 31P solid-state NMR spectra of LiPON thin films were acquired under magic-angle spinning (MAS) conditions and assigned with the help of density functional theory (DFT) calculations of NMR parameters. However, the identification of the different P local environments in these materials is still a challenge owing to their amorphous structure and the lack of resolution of the 31P MAS NMR spectra. We show herein how the NMR observation of internuclear proximities helps to establish the nature of P sites in LiPON thin films. The 31P-14N proximities are probed by a transfer of population in double resonance (TRAPDOR) experiment, whereas 31P-31P proximities are observed using one-dimensional (1D) 31P double-quantum (DQ)-filtered and two-dimensional (2D) 31P homonuclear correlation spectra as well as dipolar dephasing experiments using DQ-DRENAR (DQ-based dipolar-recoupling effects nuclear alignment reduction) technique. The obtained NMR data further support the recently proposed assignment of 31P NMR signals of LiPON thin films. With the help of this assignment, the simulation of the quantitative 1D 31P NMR spectrum indicates that PO43- orthophosphate anions prevail in LiPON thin films and N atoms are mainly incorporated in [O3PNPO3]5- dimeric anions. PO3N4- isolated tetrahedra and [O3POPO3]4- anions are also present but in smaller amounts.

Abstract
Additional phase modulation (APM) is proposed to generally enhance the theoretical efficiency of homonuclear double-quantum (DQ) recoupling in solid-state NMR. APM applies an additional phase list to DQ recoupling in steps of an entire block. The sine-based phase list can enhance the theoretical efficiency by 15-30 %, from 0.52 to 0.68 (non-γ-encoded recoupling) or from 0.73 to 0.84 (γ-encoded recoupling), with doubled recoupling time. The genetic-algorithm (GA) optimized APM can adiabatically enhance the efficiency to ∼1.0 at longer times. The concept of APM has been tested on SPR-51 , BaBa, and SPR-31 , which represent γ-encoded recoupling, non-γ-encoded recoupling, and another kind beyond the former two, respectively. Simulations reveal that enhancements from APM are due to the activation of more crystallites in the powder. Experiments on 2,3-13 C labeled alanine are used to validate the APM recoupling. This new concept shall shed light on developing more efficient homonuclear recoupling methods.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is one of the most commonly used techniques to study the atomic-resolution structure and dynamics of various chemical, biological, material, and pharmaceutical systems spanning multiple forms, including crystalline, liquid crystalline, fibrous, and amorphous states. Despite the unique advantages of solid-state NMR spectroscopy, its poor spectral resolution and sensitivity have severely limited the scope of this technique. Fortunately, the recent developments in probe technology that mechanically rotate the sample fast (100 kHz and above) to obtain "solution-like" NMR spectra of solids with higher resolution and sensitivity have opened numerous avenues for the development of novel NMR techniques and their applications to study a plethora of solids including globular and membrane-associated proteins, self-assembled protein aggregates such as amyloid fibers, RNA, viral assemblies, polymorphic pharmaceuticals, metal-organic framework, bone materials, and inorganic materials. While the ultrafast-MAS continues to be developed, the minute sample quantity and radio frequency requirements, shorter recycle delays enabling fast data acquisition, the feasibility of employing proton detection, enhancement in proton spectral resolution and polarization transfer efficiency, and high sensitivity per unit sample are some of the remarkable benefits of the ultrafast-MAS technology as demonstrated by the reported studies in the literature. Although the very low sample volume and very high RF power could be limitations for some of the systems, the advantages have spurred solid-state NMR investigation into increasingly complex biological and material systems. As ultrafast-MAS NMR techniques are increasingly used in multidisciplinary research areas, further development of instrumentation, probes, and advanced methods are pursued in parallel to overcome the limitations and challenges for widespread applications. This review article is focused on providing timely comprehensive coverage of the major developments on instrumentation, theory, techniques, applications, limitations, and future scope of ultrafast-MAS technology.

Ji Y, Liang L, Bao X, Hou G. Recent progress in dipolar recoupling techniques under fast MAS in solid-state NMR spectroscopy. SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2021; 112:101711. [PMID: 33508579 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssnmr.2020.101711] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2020] [Revised: 12/04/2020] [Accepted: 12/05/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
With the recent advances in NMR hardware and probe design technology, magic-angle spinning (MAS) rates over 100 kHz are accessible now, even on commercial solid NMR probes. Under such fast MAS conditions, excellent spectral resolution has been achieved by efficient suppression of anisotropic interactions, which also opens an avenue to the proton-detected NMR experiments in solids. Numerous methods have been developed to take full advantage of fast MAS during the last decades. Among them, dipolar recoupling techniques under fast MAS play vital roles in the determination of the molecular structure and dynamics, and are also key elements in multi-dimensional correlation NMR experiments. Herein, we review the dipolar recoupling techniques, especially those developed in the past two decades for fast-to-ultrafast MAS conditions. A major focus for our discussion is the ratio of RF field strength (in frequency) to MAS frequency, ν1/νr, in different pulse sequences, which determines whether these dipolar recoupling techniques are suitable for NMR experiments under fast MAS conditions. Systematic comparisons are made among both heteronuclear and homonuclear dipolar recoupling schemes. In addition, the schemes developed specially for proton-detection NMR experiments under ultrafast MAS conditions are highlighted as well.

Solid-State NMR Techniques for the Structural Characterization of Cyclic Aggregates Based on Borane-Phosphane Frustrated Lewis Pairs. Molecules 2020; 25:E1400.

Abstract
Modern solid-state NMR techniques offer a wide range of opportunities for the structural characterization of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs), their aggregates, and the products of cooperative addition reactions at their two Lewis centers. This information is extremely valuable for materials that elude structural characterization by X-ray diffraction because of their nanocrystalline or amorphous character, (pseudo-)polymorphism, or other types of disordering phenomena inherent in the solid state. Aside from simple chemical shift measurements using single-pulse or cross-polarization/magic-angle spinning NMR detection techniques, the availability of advanced multidimensional and double-resonance NMR methods greatly deepened the informational content of these experiments. In particular, methods quantifying the magnetic dipole-dipole interaction strengths and indirect spin-spin interactions prove useful for the measurement of intermolecular association, connectivity, assessment of FLP-ligand distributions, and the stereochemistry of adducts. The present review illustrates several important solid-state NMR methods with some insightful applications to open questions in FLP chemistry, with a particular focus on supramolecular associates.

Abstract
We present a novel “Top-down” strategy to design the long phosphorescent phosphors in the second biological transparency window via energy transfer. Inherence in this approach to material design involves an ingenious engineering for hybridizing the coordination networks of hosts, tailoring the topochemical configuration of dopants, and bridging a cascaded tunnel for transferring the persistent energy from traps, to sensitizers and then to acceptors. Another significance of this endeavour is to highlight a rational scheme for functionally important hosts and dopants, Cr/Nd co-doped Zn1−xCaxGa2O4 solid solutions. Such solid-solution is employed as an optimized host to take advantage of its characteristic trap site level to establish an electron reservoir and network parameters for the precipitation of activators Nd3+ and Cr3+. The results reveal that the strategy employed here has the great potential, as well as opens new opportunities for future new-wavelength, NIR phosphorescent phosphors fabrication with many potential multifunctional bio-imaging applications.

Abstract
We investigate theoretically intriguing aspects of a simple rotational-echo double-resonance (REDOR) NMR technique for homonuclear spin-1/2 pairs undergoing MAS. The simple technique sets Gaussian soft π pulses at every half MAS rotational period in the pulse sequence. The reduction in rotational echo amplitude (the REDOR echo reduction) is observed at the end of the evolution period te = (n + 1)Tr, where Tr is a MAS rotational period. The exact average Hamiltonians for the homonuclear REDOR (hm-REDOR) technique are calculated by dividing the evolution period into four periods. We show theoretically and experimentally that the hm-REDOR technique produces the REDOR echo reductions for homonuclear spin-1/2 pairs. In addition, the theoretical results reveal that the REDOR echo reductions are independent of the chemical-shift difference, δ, under a simple condition of κ = δ/ωr ≥ 6 and te < 10 ⋅ (1/d'), where ωr is the sample spinning frequency and d' is the dipolar coupling constant expressed in Hz. We call this simple condition the master condition. This means that the REDOR echo reductions for a homonuclear spin-1/2 pair can be calculated under the master condition by considering only d' and ωr , which is the case for a heteronuclear spin pair. Finally, we demonstrate that four-phase cycling yields the multiple-quantum filtered hm-REDOR experiment, where the appearance of the REDOR echo reductions shows that the echo reductions are definitely attributable to the homonuclear dipolar interaction even if there is a slight unwanted effect from the recovered chemical-shift anisotropy in these reductions.

Abstract
A new pulse sequence entitled DQ-DRENAR (Double-Quantum based Dipolar Recoupling Effects Nuclear Alignment Reduction) was recently described for the quantitative measurement of magnetic dipole-dipole interactions in homonuclear spin-1/2 systems involving multiple nuclei. As described in the present manuscript, the efficiency and performance of this sequence can be significantly improved, if the measurement is done in the constant-time mode. We describe both the theoretical analysis of this method and its experimental validation of a number of crystalline model compounds, considering both symmetry-based and back-to-back (BABA) DQ-coherence excitation schemes. Based on the combination of theoretical analysis and experimental results we discuss the effect of experimental parameters such as the chemical shift anisotropy (CSA), the spinning rate, and the radio frequency field inhomogeneity upon its performance. Our results indicate that constant-time (CT-) DRENAR is a method of high efficiency and accuracy for compounds with multiple homonuclear spin systems with particular promise for the analysis of stronger-coupled and short T2 spin systems.

Abstract
A new solid state NMR technique entitled DQ-DRENAR (Double-Quantum based Dipolar Recoupling Effects Nuclear Alignment Reduction) has been recently described for measuring homonuclear dipole-dipole interactions in multi-spin-1/2 systems under magic-angle spinning conditions. As in rotational echo double resonance (REDOR), the homonuclear dipole-dipole coupling constant can be extracted from a plot of a normalized difference signal (S0-S')/S0 versus dipolar mixing time, where S is the signal amplitude with the DQ-Hamiltonian present, and S0 is the signal amplitude in the absence of the DQ-Hamiltonian, which is used for normalization. Within the range of (S0-S)/S0≤0.3-0.5 such "homonuclear REDOR curves" can be approximated by simple parabolae, yielding effective squared dipole-dipole coupling constants ∑bjk(2) summed over all the pairwise interactions present. The effect of glassy disorder has been studied by simulations, replacing singular-valued internuclear distances by Gaussian distance distributions with the same central value. This situation results in a systematic over-estimation effect, which tends to compensate the implicit under-estimation effect caused by the parabolic fitting approach. The present contribution describes applications to a number of phosphate-based glasses and glass ceramics. The method turns out to be well suited for the differentiation of the various Q((n)) phosphate species, for characterizing the spatial distribution of isolated orthophosphate ions and for the detection of incipient nano-segregation and/or phase separation effects in glass ceramics.

Abstract
A new pulse sequence entitled DQ-DRENAR, (Double-Quantum based Dipolar Recoupling Effects Nuclear Alignment Reduction) was recently described for the quantitative measurement of magnetic dipole-dipole interactions in homonuclear spin-1/2 systems involving multiple nuclei. The double quantum coherences were created via a windowless symmetry-based pulse sequence (POST-C7). The present contribution evaluates the performance of the "Back-to-Back" excitation pulse scheme BABA-xy16 in such DRENAR experiments. Using SIMPSON simulations, special attention is given to finite pulse length effects, dipolar truncation, and chemical shift anisotropy interference. Experimental results on model compounds demonstrate good stability up to long mixing times (>10 ms) as well as high accuracy. As its dipolar coupling efficiency is relatively high (the dipolar coupling scaling factor is 4.24 times as high as that of POST-C7), DQ-DRENAR-BABA-xy16 is most appropriate for the measurement of relatively weak dipolar coupling strengths (<400 Hz). Different from POST-C7, for which the spinning rate is limited to 1/7 of the nutation frequency, DQ-DRENAR-BABA-xy16 experiments can take full advantage of ultrafast MAS experiments.

Abstract
A recent implementation of a double-quantum (DQ) recoupling solid-state NMR experiment, dubbed DQ-DRENAR, provides a quantitative measure of homonuclear dipole-dipole coupling constants in multispin-1/2 systems. It was claimed to be more robust than another, previously known experiment relying on the recording of point-by-point normalized DQ build-up curves. Focusing on the POST-C7 and BaBa-xy16 DQ pulse sequences, I here present an in-depth comparison of both approaches based upon spin-dynamics simulations, stressing that they are based upon very similar principles and that they are largely equivalent when no imperfections are present. With imperfections, it is found that DQ-DRENAR/POST-C7 does not fully compensate for additional signal dephasing related to chemical shifts (CS) and their anisotropy (CSA), which over-compensates the intrinsic CS(A)-related efficiency loss of the DQ Hamiltonian and leads to an apparent cancellation effect. The simulations further show that the CS(A)-related dephasing in DQ-DRENAR can be removed by another phase cycle step or an improved super-cycled wideband version. Only the latter, or the normalized DQ build-up, are unaffected by CS(A)-related signal loss and yield clean pure dipolar-coupling information subject to unavoidable, pulse sequence specific performance reduction related to higher-order corrections of the dipolar DQ Hamiltonian. The intrinsically super-cycled BaBa-xy16 is shown to exhibit virtually no CS(A) related imperfection terms, but its dipolar performance is somewhat more challenged by CS(A) effects than POST-C7, which can however be compensated when applied at very fast MAS (>50 kHz). Practically, DQ-DRENAR uses a clever phase cycle separation to achieve a significantly shorter experimental time, which can also be beneficially employed in normalized DQ build-up experiments.
