Abstract
High isotropic resolution is essential for the structural elucidation of samples with multiple sites. In this study, utilizing the benefits of TRAPDOR-based heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (T-HMQC) and a pair of one rotor period long cosine amplitude modulated low-power (cos-lp) pulse-based symmetric-split-t1 multiple-quantum magic angle spinning (MQMAS) methods, we have developed a proton-detected 2D 35Cl/1H T-HMQC-MQMAS pulse sequence under fast MAS (70 kHz) to achieve high-resolution in the indirect dimension of the spin-3/2 (35Cl) nuclei connected via protons. As T-HMQC polarizes not only single-quantum central transition (SQCT) but also triple-quantum (TQ) coherences, the proposed 2D pulse sequence is implemented via selection of two coherence pathways (SQCT→TQ →SQCT and TQ → SQCT→TQ) resulting in the 35Cl isotropic dimension and is superior to the existing double-quantum satellite-transition (DQST) T-HMQC in terms of resolution.

SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2023; 125:101863.

Abstract
In MQMAS-based high-resolution solid-state NMR experiments of half-integer spin quadrupolar nuclei, the high radiofrequency (RF) field requirement for the MQ excitation and conversion steps with two hard-pulses is often a sensitivity limiting factor in many practical applications. Recently, the use of two cosine-modulated (cos) low-power (lp) pulses, lasting one-rotor period each, was successfully introduced for efficient MQ excitation and conversion of spin-3/2 nuclei with a reduced RF amplitude. In this study, we extend our previous investigations of spin-3/2 nuclei to systems with higher spin values and discuss the applicability of coslp-MQ excitation and conversion in MQMAS and MQ-HETCOR experiments under slow and fast spinning conditions. For the numerical simulations and experiments we used a moderate magnetic field of 14.1 T. Two spin-5/2 nuclei (85Rb and 27Al) are mainly employed with a large variety of CQ values, but we show that the practical set up is also available for higher spin values, such as spin-9/2 with 93Nb in Cs4Nb11O30. We demonstrate for nuclei with spin value larger than 3/2 a preferential use of coslp-MQ acquisition for low-gamma nuclei and/or large CQ values with a much reduced RF-field with respect to that of hard-pulses used with conventional 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.

Abstract
Despite its ease in experimental set up, the low sensitivity of MQMAS experiments is often a limiting factor in many practical applications. This is mainly due to the large radiofrequency (RF) field requirement of the two short hard-pulses often used for the optimum MQ excitation and conversion steps. Very recently, two novel MQMAS experiments have been proposed for I = 3/2 nuclei, namely lp-MQMAS and coslp-MQMAS, enabling an efficient MQ excitation/conversion with a reduced RF requirement, by utilizing two long pulses lasting one rotor period each, with or without cosine modulation. In this study, we focus on the practical considerations of these new methods and discuss their pros and cons to elucidate their appropriate use under both moderate and fast spinning conditions. Using four I = 3/2 (87Rb, 71Ga, 35Cl and 23Na) nuclei at a moderate magnetic field (B0 = 14.1 T), we show the superior use of these experiments, especially for samples with large CQ values and/or low-gamma nuclei. Compared to all other existing sequences, the coslp-MQMAS method with initial WURST signal enhancement is the most robust, efficient and resolved high-resolution 2D method for spin 3/2 nuclei. Furthermore, using {23Na}-1H spin systems, we demonstrate the sensitivity advantage of the WURST coslp-MQ-HETCOR acquisition upon 1H detection and fast MAS conditions.

Abstract
Due to their high gyromagnetic ratio, there is considerable interest in measuring distances and correlations involving protons, but such measurements are compounded by the simultaneous recoupling of chemical shift anisotropy (CSA). This secondary recoupling adds additional modulations to the signal intensities that ultimately lead to t1-noise and signal decay. Recently, Venkatesh et al. demonstrated that the addition of CSA refocusing periods during 1H-X dipolar recoupling led to sequences with far higher stability and performance. Herein, we describe a related effort and develop a symmetry-based recoupling sequence that continually refocuses the 1H CSA. This sequence shows superior performance to the regular and t1-noise eliminated D-HMQC sequences in the case of spin-1/2 nuclei and comparable performance to the later for half-integer quadrupoles.

Abstract
Recently, we established an experimental setup protocol to perform the population transfer from half-integer quadrupolar spin to 1H nuclei under fast MAS in the context of MQ-HETCOR experiments. In this article, we further develop the high-resolution 2D HETCOR methods by ST-based approaches, making use of the sensitivity advantage of STMAS over its MQMAS counterpart. In a similar manner to the previous work, which utilized CP and RINEPT for the population transfer, we also demonstrate the experimental setup protocol for PRESTO. Using {23Na}-1H and {27Al}-1H spin systems of powder samples, we compare a series of MQ/ST-HETCOR 2D spectra to discuss the pros and cons of the distinct MQ/ST-based approaches for spin 3/2 and 5/2 nuclei, respectively. We also incorporate two experimental tricks to reduce the experimental time of such long 2D experiments, the Optimized Rotor-Synchronization (ORS) and the Non-Uniform Sampling (NUS), in the context of high-resolution spectra of half-integer quadrupolar spin nuclei.

Abstract
Through-space heteronuclear correlation (D-HETCOR) experiments based on heteronuclear multiple-quantum correlation (D-HMQC) and refocused insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (D-RINEPT) sequences have been proven to be useful approaches for the detection of the spatial proximity between half-integer quadrupolar nuclei in solids under magic-angle spinning (MAS) conditions. The corresponding pulse sequences employ coherence transfers mediated by heteronuclear dipolar interactions, which are reintroduced under MAS by radiofrequency irradiation of only one of the two correlated nuclei. We investigate herein using numerical simulations of spin dynamics and solid-state NMR experiments on magnesium aluminoborate glass how the choice of the channel to which the heteronuclear dipolar recoupling is applied affects the transfer efficiency of D-HMQC and D-RINEPT sequences between 11 B and 27 Al nuclei. Experimental results show that maximum transfer efficiency is achieved when the recoupling scheme is applied to the channel, for which the spin magnetization is parallel to the B0 axis in average.

Abstract
In this article, we compare the various schemes of magnetization transfer from half-integer quadrupolar spins to 1H nuclei and we establish an efficient protocol to perform these transfers under MQMAS high-resolution with the MQ-HETCOR and MQ-SPAM-HETCOR experiments under fast MAS. The MQMAS efficiencies are analyzed with SIMPSON simulations, and the CPMAS and RINEPT magnetization transfers are compared at 62.5 kHz MAS using {23Na}-1H and {27Al}-1H MQ-HETCOR and MQ-SPAM-HETCOR experiments performed on NaH2PO4, Na2HPO4, Na citrate dihydrate and ipa-AlPO-14 powder samples. We discuss the pros and cons of these approaches, aiming to record 2D spectra of the best possible quality under fast MAS. We also incorporate some experimental approaches to reduce the total experiment time of such long 2D experiments.

Abstract
Indirect NMR detection via protons under fast magic-angle spinning can help overcome the low sensitivity and resolution of low-γ quadrupole nuclei such as 35Cl. A robust and efficient method is presented for indirectly acquiring the double-quantum satellite-transition (DQ-ST) spectra of quadrupole nuclei. For a spin S = 3/2, the DQ-STs have a much smaller second-order quadrupolar broadening, one-ninth compared to that of the central transition. Thus, they can provide a factor of up to 18 in resolution enhancement. The indirect detection of DQ-STs via protons is carried out using the heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC) experiment with the transfer of populations in double-resonance (TRAPDOR) recoupling mechanism. The resolution enhancement by detecting DQ-STs and the high efficiency of the TRAPDOR-HMQC experiment are demonstrated by 35Cl NMR of several active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Abstract
This review describes the latest developments in the field of 17O NMR spectroscopy of organic and biological molecules both in aqueous solution and in the solid state. In the first part of the review, a general theoretical description of the nuclear quadrupole relaxation process in isotropic liquids is presented at a mathematical level suitable for non-specialists. In addition to the first-order quadrupole interaction, the theory also includes additional relaxation mechanisms such as the second-order quadrupole interaction and its cross correlation with shielding anisotropy. This complete theoretical treatment allows one to assess the transverse relaxation rate (thus the line width) of NMR signals from half-integer quadrupolar nuclei in solution over the entire range of motion. On the basis of this theoretical framework, we discuss general features of quadrupole-central-transition (QCT) NMR, which is a particularly powerful method of studying biomolecules in the slow motion regime. Then we review recent advances in 17O QCT NMR studies of biological macromolecules in aqueous solution. The second part of the review is concerned with solid-state 17O NMR studies of organic and biological molecules. As a sequel to the previous review on the same subject [G. Wu, Prog. Nucl. Magn. Reson. Spectrosc. 52 (2008) 118-169], the current review provides a complete coverage of the literature published since 2008 in this area.

Abstract
The sensitivity of solid-state NMR experiments that utilize 1H zero-quantum heteronuclear dipolar recoupling, such as D-HMQC, is compromised by poor homonuclear decoupling. This leads to a rapid decay of recoupled magnetization and an inefficient recoupling of long-range dipolar interactions, especially for nuclides with low gyromagnetic ratios. We investigated the use, in symmetry-based 1H heteronuclear recoupling sequences, of a basic R element that was principally designed for efficient homonuclear decoupling. By shortening the time required to suppress the effects of homonuclear dipolar interactions to the duration of a single inversion pulse, spin diffusion was effectively quenched and long-lived recoupled coherence lifetimes could be obtained. We show, both theoretically and experimentally, that these modified sequences can yield considerable sensitivity improvements over the current state-of-the-art methods and applied them to the indirect detection of 89Y in a metal-organic framework.

Abstract
The application of overtone nuclear magnetic resonance (OT NMR) to symmetric spin transitions of integer quadrupolar nuclei is of considerable interest since this transition is immune to the first-order quadrupolar interaction, thus resulting in narrow NMR lines. Owing to its roles in nature and its high natural abundance, 14N (I = 1) OT NMR has been explored, in which the indirect and/or direct acquisitions of 14N OT were experimentally demonstrated. However, other than 14N nucleus, no OT NMR observation of other integer quadrupolar nuclei has been reported in the literature. In this work, we extend the application of OT NMR to another integer quadrupolar nucleus, namely 10B (I = 3). However, this is not straightforward owing to the unfavorable characteristics of 10B isotope. Here, for the first time, we present the selective acquisition of 10B central (-1 ↔ +1) OT NMR via detection of 1H nuclei on perborate monohydrate sample. Numerical calculations are in a good agreement with the experimental results. Both show that the optimal sensitivity is achieved when the carrier frequency is applied at the second OT spinning sideband, i.e. an offset of twice of the spinning frequency from the center band.

Abstract
Fast magic angle spinning (MAS) and proton detection has found widespread application to enhance the sensitivity of solid-state NMR experiments with spin-1/2 nuclei such as 13C, 15N and 29Si, however, this approach is not yet routinely applied to half-integer quadrupolar nuclei. Here we have investigated the feasibility of using fast MAS and proton detection to enhance the sensitivity of solid-state NMR experiments with half-integer quadrupolar nuclei. The previously described dipolar hetero-nuclear multiple quantum correlation (D-HMQC) and dipolar refocused insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (D-RINEPT) pulse sequences were used for proton detection of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei. Quantitative comparisons of signal-to-noise ratios and the sensitivity of proton detected D-HMQC and D-RINEPT and direct detection spin echo and quadrupolar Carr-Purcell Meiboom-Gill (QCPMG) solid-state NMR spectra, demonstrate that one dimensional proton detected experiments can provide sensitivity similar to or exceeding that obtainable with direct detection QCPMG experiments. 2D D-HMQC and D-RINEPT experiments provide less sensitivity than QCPMG experiments but proton detected 2D hetero-nuclear correlation solid-state NMR spectra of half-integer nuclei can still be acquired in about the same time as a 1D spin echo spectrum. Notably, the rarely used D-RINEPT pulse sequence is found to provide similar, or better sensitivity than D-HMQC in some cases. Proton detected D-RINEPT benefits from the short longitudinal relaxation times (T1) normally associated with half-integer quadrupolar nuclei, it can be combined with existing signal enhancement methods for quadrupolar nuclei, and t1-noise in the indirect dimension can easily be removed by pre-saturation of the 1H nuclei. The rapid acquisition of proton detected 2D HETCOR solid-state NMR spectra of a range of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei such as 17O, 27Al, 35Cl and 71Ga is demonstrated.

Abstract
In spite of tremendous progress made in pulse sequence designs and sophisticated hardware developments, methods to improve sensitivity and resolution in solid-state NMR (ssNMR) are still emerging. The rate at which sample is spun at magic angle determines the extent to which sensitivity and resolution of NMR spectra are improved. To this end, the prime objective of this article is to give a comprehensive theoretical and experimental framework of fast magic angle spinning (MAS) technique. The engineering design of fast MAS rotors based on spinning rate, sample volume, and sensitivity is presented in detail. Besides, the benefits of fast MAS citing the recent progress in methodology, especially for natural abundance samples are also highlighted. The effect of the MAS rate on (1)H resolution, which is a key to the success of the (1)H inverse detection methods, is described by a simple mathematical factor named as the homogeneity factor k. A comparison between various (1)H inverse detection methods is also presented. Moreover, methods to reduce the number of spinning sidebands (SSBs) for the systems with huge anisotropies in combination with (1)H inverse detection at fast MAS are discussed.

Abstract
AbstractNuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most important characterization tools in chemistry, however, 3/4 of the NMR active nuclei are underutilized due to their quadrupolar nature. This short review centers on the development of methods that use solid-state NMR of quadrupolar nuclei for obtaining quantitative structural information. Namely, techniques using dipolar recoupling as well as the resolution afforded by double-rotation are presented for the measurement of spin–spin coupling between quadrupoles, enabling the measurement of internuclear distances and connectivities. Two-dimensional J-resolved-type experiments are then presented for the measurement of dipolar and J coupling, between spin-1/2 and quadrupolar nuclei as well as in pairs of quadrupolar nuclei. Select examples utilizing these techniques for the extraction of structural information are given. Techniques are then described that enable the fine refinement of crystalline structures using solely the electric field gradient tensor, measured using NMR, as a constraint. These approaches enable the solution of crystal structures, from polycrystalline compounds, that are of comparable quality to those solved using single-crystal diffraction.

Solid-state NMR indirect detection of nuclei experiencing large anisotropic interactions using spinning sideband-selective pulses. SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2015; 72:104-117.

Abstract
Under Magic-Angle Spinning (MAS), a long radio-frequency (rf) pulse applied on resonance achieves the selective excitation of the center-band of a wide NMR spectrum. We show herein that these rf pulses can be applied on the indirect channel of Hetero-nuclear Multiple-Quantum Correlation (HMQC) sequences, which facilitate the indirect detection via spin-1/2 isotopes of nuclei exhibiting wide spectra. Numerical simulations show that this indirect excitation method is applicable to spin-1/2 nuclei experiencing a large chemical shift anisotropy, as well as to spin-1 isotopes subject to a large quadrupole interaction, such as (14)N. The performances of the long pulses are analyzed by the numerical simulations of scalar-mediated HMQC (J-HMQC) experiments indirectly detecting spin-1/2 or spin-1 nuclei, as well as by dipolar-mediated HMQC (D-HMQC) experiments achieving indirect detection of (14)N nuclei via (1)H in crystalline γ-glycine and N-acetyl-valine samples at a MAS frequency of 60kHz. We show on these solids that for the acquisition of D-HMQC spectra between (1)H and (14)N nuclei, the efficiency of selective moderate excitation with long-pulses at the (14)N Larmor frequency, ν0((14)N), is comparable to those with strong excitation pulses at ν0((14)N) or 2ν0((14)N) frequencies, given the rf field delivered by common solid-state NMR probes. Furthermore, the D-HMQC experiments also demonstrate that the use of long pulses does not produce significant spectral distortions along the (14)N dimension. In summary, the use of center-band selective weak pulses is advantageous for HMQC experiments achieving the indirect detection of wide spectra since it (i) requires a moderate rf field, (ii) can be easily optimized, (iii) displays a high robustness to CSAs, offsets, rf-field inhomogeneities, and fluctuations in MAS frequency, and (iv) is little dependent on the quadrupolar coupling constant.

Abstract
Connectivities and proximities between protons and low-gamma nuclei can be probed in solid-state NMR spectroscopy using two-dimensional (2D) proton-detected heteronuclear correlation, through Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Correlation (HMQC) pulse sequence. The indirect detection via protons dramatically enhances the sensitivity. However, the spectra are often broadened along the indirect F1 dimension by the decay of heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherences under the strong (1)H-(1)H dipolar couplings. This work presents a systematic comparison of the performances of various decoupling schemes during the indirect t1 evolution period of dipolar-mediated HMQC (D-HMQC) experiment. We demonstrate that (1)H-(1)H dipolar decoupling sequences during t1, such as symmetry-based schemes, phase-modulated Lee-Goldburg (PMLG) and Decoupling Using Mind-Boggling Optimization (DUMBO), provide better resolution than continuous wave (1)H irradiation. We also report that high resolution requires the preservation of (1)H isotropic chemical shifts during the decoupling sequences. When observing indirectly broad spectra presenting numerous spinning sidebands, the D-HMQC sequence must be fully rotor-synchronized owing to the rotor-synchronized indirect sampling and dipolar recoupling sequence employed. In this case, we propose a solution to reduce artefact sidebands caused by the modulation of window delays before and after the decoupling application during the t1 period. Moreover, we show that (1)H-(1)H dipolar decoupling sequence using Smooth Amplitude Modulation (SAM) minimizes the t1-noise. The performances of the various decoupling schemes are assessed via numerical simulations and compared to 2D (1)H-{(13)C} D-HMQC experiments on [U-(13)C]-L-histidine⋅HCl⋅H2O at various magnetic fields and Magic Angle spinning (MAS) frequencies. Great resolution and sensitivity enhancements resulting from decoupling during t1 period enable the detection of heteronuclear correlation between aliphatic protons and ammonium (14)N sites in L-histidine⋅HCl⋅H2O.

Abstract
We present a detailed analysis of the Symmetry-based Resonance-Echo Saturation-Pulse DOuble-Resonance (S-RESPDOR) method in order to measure the inter-nuclear distances between spin-1/2 and quadrupolar nuclei. This recently introduced sequence employs a symmetry-based recoupling scheme on the observed spin-1/2 channel and a saturation pulse on the quadrupolar channel. This method requires a low radio-frequency (rf) field, is compatible with high MAS frequency and allows a rapid determination of inter-nuclear distances by fitting the experimental signal fraction to an analytical expression. Here, we analyze in detail the influence of the various experimental and spin-interaction parameters on the S-RESPDOR signal fraction and the measured distance. We show that the S-RESPDOR signal fraction only depends on the quadrupole interaction and the inter-nuclear distance. We demonstrate that the required rf-field on the quadrupolar channel is smaller than that required for an adiabatic-passage pulse in REAPDOR-type experiments. The only limitation of the method is the requirement of accurate rotor synchronization between the two parts of the dipolar recoupling sequences. Using S-RESPDOR, we have quantitatively measured a (31)P-(51)V distance of 357 pm in a mono-vanadium-substituted polyoxo-tungstate, K(4)PVW(11)O(40), from the Keggin family and a (13)C-(67)Zn distance of 286 pm in [80%-(67)Zn]zinc [1-(13)C]acetate. These results show that S-RESPDOR can be employed in the challenging cases of quadrupolar nuclei exhibiting a high spin number and either large chemical-shift anisotropy ((51)V) or low gyromagnetic ratio ((67)Zn).

Abstract
Three (1)H-(1)H homonuclear dipolar decoupling schemes for (1)H indirect detection measurements at very fast MAS are compared. The sequences require the following conditions: (i) being operable at very fast MAS, (ii) a long T(2)(') value, (iii) a large scaling factor, (iv) a small number of adjustable parameters, (v) an acquisition window, (vi) a low rf-power requirement, and (vii) a z-rotation feature. To satisfy these conditions a modified sequence named TIlted Magic-Echo Sandwich with zero degree sandwich pulse (TIMES(0)) is introduced. The basic elements of TIMES(0) consist of one sampling window and two phase-ramped irradiations, which realize alternating positive and negative 360° rotations of (1)H magnetization around an effective field tilted with an angle θ from the B(0) axis. The TIMES(0) sequence benefits from very large chemical shift scaling factors at ultra-fast MAS that reach κ(cs)=0.90 for θ=25° at ν(r)=80kHz MAS and only four adjustable parameters, resulting in easy setup. Long κ(cs)T(2)(') values, where T(2)(') is a irreversible proton transverse relaxation time, greatly enhance the sensitivity in (1)H-{(13)C} through-bond J-HMQC (Heteronuclear Multiple-Quantum Coherence) measurements with (1)H-(1)H decoupling during magnetization transfer periods. Although similar sensitivity can be obtained with through-space D-HMQC sequences, in which (13)C-(1)H dipolar interactions are recoupled, J-HMQC experiments incorporating (1)H-(1)H decoupling benefit from lower t(1)-noise, more uniform excitation of both CH, CH(2) and CH(3) moieties, and easier identification of through-bond connectivities.

Abstract
Substantial resolution and sensitivity enhancements of solid-state (1)H detected (14)N HMQC NMR spectra at very fast MAS rates up to 80 kHz, in a 1mm MAS rotor, are presented. Very fast MAS enhances the (1)H transverse relaxation time and efficiently decouples the (1)H-(14)N interactions, both effects leading to resolution enhancement. The micro-coil contributes to the sensitivity increase via strong (14)N rf fields and high sensitivity per unit volume. (1)H-(14)N HMQC 2D spectra of glycine and glycyl-L-alanine at 70 kHz MAS at 11.7 T are observed in a few minutes with a sample volume of 0.8 μL.
