Abstract
Crystalline zeolites have high acidity but limited utility due to microporosity, whereas mesoporous amorphous aluminosilicates offer better porosity but lack sufficient acidity. In this work, we investigated defect engineering to fine-tune the acidity of amorphous acidic aluminosilicates (AAS). Here we introduced oxygen vacancies in AAS to synthesize defective acidic aluminosilicates (D-AAS). 1H, 27Al, and 17O solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies indicated that defects induced localized structural changes around the acidic sites, thereby modifying their acidity. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy studies substantiated that oxygen vacancies alter the chemical environment of Brønsted acidic sites of AAS. The effect of defect creation in AAS on its acidity and catalytic behavior was demonstrated using four different acid-catalyzed reactions namely, styrene oxide ring opening, vesidryl synthesis, Friedel-Crafts alkylation, and jasminaldehyde synthesis. The defects played a role in activating reactants during AAS-catalyzed reactions, enhancing the overall catalytic process. This was supported by in-situ FTIR, which provided insights into the molecular-level reaction mechanism and the role of defects in reactant activation. This study demonstrates defect engineering as a promising approach to fine-tune acidity in amorphous aluminosilicates, bridging the porosity and acidity gaps between mesoporous amorphous aluminosilicates and crystalline zeolites.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy (ssNMR) can provide details about the structure, host-guest/guest-guest interactions and dynamic behavior of materials at atomic length scales. A crucial use of ssNMR is for the characterization of zeolite catalysts that are extensively employed in industrial catalytic processes. This review aims to spotlight the recent advancements in ssNMR spectroscopy and its application to zeolite chemistry. We first review the current ssNMR methods and techniques that are relevant to characterize zeolite catalysts, including advanced multinuclear and multidimensional experiments, in situ NMR techniques and hyperpolarization methods. Of these, the methodology development on half-integer quadrupolar nuclei is emphasized, which represent about two-thirds of stable NMR-active nuclei and are widely present in catalytic materials. Subsequently, we introduce the recent progress in understanding zeolite chemistry with the aid of these ssNMR methods and techniques, with a specific focus on the investigation of zeolite framework structures, zeolite crystallization mechanisms, surface active/acidic sites, host-guest/guest-guest interactions, and catalytic reaction mechanisms.

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
Interactions between biomolecules and structurally disordered calcium phosphate (CaP) surfaces are crucial for the regulation of bone mineralization by noncollagenous proteins, the organization of complexes of casein and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) in milk, as well as for structure-function relationships of hybrid organic/inorganic interfaces in biomaterials. By a combination of advanced solid-state NMR experiments and metadynamics simulations, we examine the detailed binding of O-phospho-l-serine (Pser) and l-serine (Ser) with ACP in bone-adhesive CaP cements, whose capacity of gluing fractured bone together stems from the close integration of the organic molecules with ACP over a subnanometer scale. The proximity of each carboxy, aliphatic, and amino group of Pser/Ser to the Ca2+ and phosphate species of ACP observed from the metadynamics-derived models agreed well with results from heteronuclear solid-state NMR experiments that are sensitive to the 13C-31P and 15N-31P distances. The inorganic/organic contacts in Pser-doped cements are also contrasted with experimental and modeled data on the Pser binding at nanocrystalline HA particles grown from a Pser-bearing aqueous solution. The molecular adsorption is driven mainly by electrostatic interactions between the negatively charged carboxy/phosphate groups and Ca2+ cations of ACP, along with H bonds to either protonated or nonprotonated inorganic phosphate groups. The Pser and Ser molecules anchor at their phosphate/amino and carboxy/amino moieties, respectively, leading to an extended molecular conformation across the surface, as opposed to an "upright standing" molecule that would result from the binding of one sole functional group.

Abstract
With the development of NMR methodology and technology during the past decades, solid-state NMR (ssNMR) has become a particularly important tool for investigating structure and dynamics at atomic scale in biological systems, where the recoupling techniques play pivotal roles in modern high-resolution MAS NMR. In this review, following a brief introduction on the basic theory of recoupling in ssNMR, we highlight the recent advances in dipolar and chemical shift anisotropy recoupling methods, as well as their applications in structural determination and dynamical characterization at multiple time scales (i.e., fast-, intermediate-, and slow-motion). The performances of these prevalent recoupling techniques are compared and discussed in multiple aspects, together with the representative applications in biomolecules. Given the recent emerging advances in NMR technology, new challenges for recoupling methodology development and potential opportunities for biological systems are also discussed.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) serve a score of applications in catalysis, drug delivery, and environmental remediation. Smarter crystallography, combining X-ray diffraction and NMR spectroscopy revealed how interplay between carbonate and pH determines the LDH structure and Al ordering in ZnAl LDH. Carbonate intercalated ZnAl LDHs were synthesized at different pH (pH 8.5, pH 10.0, pH 12.5) with a Zn/Al ratio of 2, without subsequent hydrothermal treatment to avoid extensive recrystallisation. In ideal configuration, all Al cations should be part of the LDH and be coordinated with 6 Zn atoms, but NMR revealed two different Al local environments were present in all samples in a ratio dependent on synthesis pH. NMR-crystallography, integrating NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, succeeded to identify them as Al residing in the highly ordered crystalline phase, next to Al in disordered material. With increasing synthesis pH, crystallinity increased, and the side phase fraction decreased. Using 1 H-13 C, 13 C-27 Al HETCOR NMR in combination with 27 Al MQMAS, 27 Al-DQ-SQ measurements and Rietveld refinement on high-resolution PXRD data, the extreme anion exchange selectivity of these LDHs for CO3 2- over HCO3 - was linked to strict Al and CO3 2- ordering in the crystalline LDH. Even upon equilibration of the LDH in pure NaHCO3 solutions, only CO3 2- was adsorbed by the LDH. This reveals the structure directing role of bivalent cations such as CO3 2- during crystallization of [M2+ 4 M3+ 2 (OH)2 ]2+ [A2- ]1 ⋅yH2 O LDH phases.

Abstract
O-phospho-l-serine (Pser) and its Ca salt, Ca[O-phospho-l-serine]·H2O (CaPser), play important roles for bone mineralization and were recently also proposed to account for the markedly improved bone-adhesive properties of Pser-doped calcium phosphate-based cements for biomedical implants. However, the hitherto few proposed structural models of Pser and CaPser were obtained by X-ray diffraction, thereby leaving the proton positions poorly defined. Herein, we refine the Pser and CaPser structures by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and contrast them with direct interatomic-distance constraints from two-dimensional (2D) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) correlation experimentation at fast magic-angle spinning (MAS), encompassing double-quantum-single-quantum (2Q-1Q) 1H NMR along with heteronuclear 13C{1H} and 31P{1H} correlation NMR experiments. The Pser and CaPser structures before and after refinements by DFT were validated against sets of NMR-derived effective 1H-1H, 1H-31P, and 1H-13C distances, which confirmed the improved accuracy of the refined structures. Each distance set was derived from one sole 2D NMR experiment applied to a powder without isotopic enrichment. The distances were extracted without invoking numerical spin-dynamics simulations or approximate phenomenological models. We highlight the advantages and limitations of the new distance-extraction procedure. Isotropic 1H, 13C, and 31P chemical shifts obtained by DFT calculations using the gauge including projector augmented wave (GIPAW) method agreed very well with the experimental results. We discuss the isotropic and anisotropic 13C and 31P chemical-shift parameters in relation to the previous literature, where most data on CaPser are reported herein for the first time.

Abstract
Molecular structure determination is the basis for understanding chemical processes and the property of materials. The direct dependence of the magnetic dipolar interaction on the distance makes solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) an excellent tool to study molecular structure when X-ray crystallography fails to provide atomic-resolution data. Although techniques to measure distances between pairs of isolated nuclear spin-1/2 pairs are routine and easy to implement using the rotational echo double resonance (REDOR) experiment (Gullion & Schaefer, 1989), the existence of a nucleus with a spin > 1/2, appearing in approximately 75% of the elements in the periodic table, poses a challenge due to difficulties stemming from the large nuclear quadrupolar coupling constant (QCC). This mini-review presents the existing solid-state magic-angle spinning NMR techniques aimed toward the efficient and accurate determination of internuclear distances between a spin-1/2 and a "quadrupolar" nucleus having a spin larger than one half. Analytical expressions are provided for the various recoupling curves stemming from different techniques, and a coherent nomenclature for these various techniques is suggested. Treatment of some special cases such as multiple spin effects and spins with close Larmor frequencies is also discussed. The most advanced methods can recouple spins with quadrupolar frequencies up to tens of megahertz and beyond, expanding the distance measurement capabilities of solid-state NMR to an increasingly growing number of applications and nuclear spin systems.

Abstract
Heteronuclear dipolar coupling is indispensable in revealing vital information related to the molecular structure and dynamics, as well as intermolecular interactions in various solid materials. Although numerous approaches have been developed to selectively reintroduce heteronuclear dipolar coupling under MAS, most of them lack universality and can only be applied to limited spin systems. Herein, we introduce a new and robust technique dubbed phase modulated rotary resonance (PMRR) for reintroducing heteronuclear dipolar couplings while suppressing all other interactions under a broad range of MAS conditions. The standard PMRR requires the radiofrequency (RF) field strength of only twice the MAS frequency, can efficiently recouple the dipolar couplings with a large scaling factor of 0.50, and is robust to experimental imperfections. Moreover, the adjustable window modification of PMRR, dubbed wPMRR, can improve its performance remarkably, making it well suited for the accurate determination of dipolar couplings in various spin systems. The robust performance of such pulse sequences has been verified theoretically and experimentally via model compounds, at different MAS frequencies. The application of the PMRR technique was demonstrated on the H-ZSM-5 zeolite, where the interaction between the Brønsted acidic hydroxyl groups of H-ZSM-5 and the absorbed trimethylphosphine oxide (TMPO) were probed, revealing the detailed configuration of super acid sites.

Abstract
Constant-time (CT) dipolar heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (D-HMQC) has previously been demonstrated as a method for proton detection of high-resolution wideline NMR spectra of spin-1/2 nuclei with large chemical shift anisotropy (CSA). However, 1H transverse relaxation and t1-noise often reduce the sensitivity of D-HMQC experiments, preventing the theoretical gains in sensitivity provided by 1H detection from being realized. Here we demonstrate a series of improved pulse sequences for 1H detection of spin-1/2 nuclei under fast MAS, with 195Pt SSNMR experiments on cisplatin as an example. First, a t1-incrementation protocol for D-HMQC dubbed Arbitrary Indirect Dwell (AID) is demonstrated. AID allows the use of arbitrary, rotor asynchronous t1-increments, but removes the constant time period from CT D-HMQC, resulting in improved sensitivity by reducing transverse relaxation losses. Next, we show that short high-power adiabatic pulses (SHAPs), which efficiently invert broad MAS sideband manifolds, can be effectively incorporated into 1H detected symmetry-based resonance echo double resonance (S-REDOR) and t1-noise eliminated (TONE) D-HMQC experiments. The S-REDOR experiments with SHAPs provide approximately double the dipolar dephasing, as compared to experiments with rectangular inversion pulses. We lastly show that sensitivity and resolution can be further enhanced with the use of swept excitation pulses as well as adiabatic magic angle turning (aMAT).

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 11:945.

Abstract
Recently developed, nanoscale metal-organic frameworks (nanoMOFs) functionalized with versatile coatings are drawing special attention in the nanomedicine field. Here we show the preparation of core-shell MIL-100(Al) nanoMOFs for the delivery of the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). DOX was efficiently incorporated in the MOFs and was released in a progressive manner, depending on the initial loading. Besides, the coatings were made of biodegradable γ-cyclodextrin-citrate oligomers (CD-CO) with affinity for both DOX and the MOF cores. DOX was incorporated and released faster due to its affinity for the coating material. A set of complementary solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) experiments including 1H-1H and 13C-27Al two-dimensional NMR, was used to gain a deep understanding on the multiple interactions involved in the MIL-100(Al) core-shell system. To do so, 13C-labelled shells were synthesized. This study paves the way towards a methodology to assess the nanoMOF component localization at a molecular scale and to investigate the nanoMOF physicochemical properties, which play a main role on their biological applications.

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.

Abstract
Collecting information about molecular organisation on biological materials such as bone and dentin represents a major challenge in attaining a better understanding of their mechanical properties. To that end, solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopic study is an appropriate strategy to provide atomic structural details on these amorphous composite materials. However, species like water molecules and hydroxyl groups are usually observed through 1H magic angle spinning (MAS) ssNMR that suffers from poor resolution due to strong signal overlapping, making their identification difficult. This paper proposes a set of ssNMR experiments for 1H characterization of the main components of human dentin, based on homo- and hetero-nuclear dipolar couplings and composed mostly of fast 1D experiments. The 1H assignment is assisted by straightforward sample modifications: vacuum drying, deuterium exchange and demineralization. These experiments allow the hydrogen signal edition of dentin species like water molecules, HPO42- and OH- groups, depending on their localization (bound to the organic phase, linked to apatite or at the interface) and their dynamic behaviour. This ssNMR toolbox has the potential to provide important structural and dynamic information on chemical and physical modifications of biomaterials. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Molecular characterisation of apatitic biomaterials by biophysical techniques is extremely difficult due to their complex and amorphous nature. It is, however, crucial to obtain such information if we want to understand their mechanical properties in relation to their physical state, for example their hydration levels. In this article we used a set of solid state NMR experiments and sample modifications to distinguish 1H signal of human dentin components with a particular attention to water molecules, known for their major role in biomaterial structuring.

Abstract
Boron-based heterogenous catalysts, such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) as well as supported boron oxides, are highly selective catalysts for the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of light alkanes to olefins. Previous catalytic measurements and molecular characterization of boron-based catalysts by 11B solid-state NMR spectroscopy and other techniques suggests that oxidized/hydrolyzed boron clusters are the catalytically active sites for ODH. However, 11B solid-state NMR spectroscopy often suffers from limited resolution because boron-11 is an I = 3/2 half-integer quadrupolar nucleus. Here, ultra-high magnetic field (B 0 = 35.2 T) is used to enhance the resolution of 11B solid-state NMR spectra and unambiguously determine the local structure and connectivity of boron species in h-BN nanotubes used as a ODH catalyst (spent h-BNNT), boron substituted MCM-22 zeolite [B-MWW] and silica supported boron oxide [B/SiO2] before and after use as an ODH catalyst. One-dimensional direct excitation 11B NMR spectra recorded at B 0 = 35.2 T are near isotropic in nature, allowing for the easy identification of all boron species. Two-dimensional 1H-11B heteronuclear correlation NMR spectra aid in the identification of boron species with B-OH functionality. Most importantly, 2D 11B dipolar double-quantum single-quantum homonuclear correlation NMR experiments were used to unambiguously probe boron-boron connectivity within all heterogeneous catalysts. These experiments are practically infeasible at lower, more conventional magnetic fields due to a lack of resolution and reduced NMR sensitivity. The detailed molecular structures determined for the amorphous oxidized/hydrolyzed boron layers on these heterogenous catalysts will aid in the future development of next generation ODH catalysts.

Combining fast magic angle spinning dynamic nuclear polarization with indirect detection to further enhance the sensitivity of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2020; 109:101685.

Abstract
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and indirect detection are two commonly applied approaches for enhancing the sensitivity of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. However, their use in tandem has not yet been investigated. With the advent of low-temperature fast magic angle spinning (MAS) probes with 1.3-mm diameter rotors capable of MAS at 40 kHz it becomes feasible to combine these two techniques. In this study, we performed DNP-enhanced 2D indirectly detected heteronuclear correlation (idHETCOR) experiments on 13C, 15N, 113Cd and 89Y nuclei in functionalized mesoporous silica, CdS nanoparticles, and Y2O3 nanoparticles. The sensitivity of the 2D idHETCOR experiments was compared with those of DNP-enhanced directly-detected 1D cross polarization (CP) and 2D HETCOR experiments performed with a standard 3.2-mm rotor. Due to low CP polarization transfer efficiencies and large proton linewidth, the sensitivity gains achieved by indirect detection alone were lower than in conventional (non-DNP) experiments. Nevertheless, despite the smaller sample volume the 2D idHETCOR experiments showed better absolute sensitivities than 2D HETCOR experiments for nuclei with the lowest gyromagnetic ratios. For 89Y, 2D idHETCOR provided 8.2 times better sensitivity than the 1 D89Y-detected CP experiment performed with a 3.2-mm rotor.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2020; 319:106827.

Abstract
Symmetry based γ-encoded RNnν elements are broadly used in magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR experiments to achieve selective recoupling of the heteronuclear dipolar interactions. The recoupled dipolar couplings in such experiments are scaled by a factor, Ksc, which theoretically depends on the chosen symmetry numbers N, n, and ν. However, the maximum theoretical value of Ksc for γ-encoded RNnν pulses is limited to ~0.25, resulting in long RNnν experiment times. Also, the dependence of Ksc on the experimental parameters can result in systematic errors in the experimental determination of the dipolar couplings, especially at low and moderate MAS rates. In this manuscript, we investigate the use of MODifiEd RNnν symmetry (MODERNnν(ϕM)) pulses that increase the dipolar scaling factor by at least 1.45 fold compared to γ-encoded RNnν. The second advantage of MODERNnν(ϕM) pulses with respect to traditional RNnν pulses is the reduced influence of experimental parameters on Ksc, which allows for more accurate measurement of short-range distances. The robustness of MODERNnν(ϕM) is compared with γ-encoded R1423 symmetry pulses. The enhanced performance is demonstrated on two uniformly-13C-enriched samples, N-acetyl valine and the microcrystalline protein GB1, at a 31.111 kHz MAS rate.

Abstract
Ultrahigh field 27Al{1H} 2D correlation NMR experiments demonstrate that at least two framework Al(IV) sites with hydroxyl groups can exist in acidic zeolite catalysts in their dehydrated and catalytically active states. In addition to the known Al(IV) at the framework bridging acid site (BAS), a new site created by a second tetrahedral Al atom and its hydroxyl group protons in zeolite HZSM-5 is clearly resolved at 35.2 T field strengths, enabled by recently developed series-connected hybrid (SCH) magnet technology. Coupled with computational modeling, extensive 27Al MQMAS experiments at multiple field strengths, and 1H MAS NMR experiments, these data indicate that this second tetrahedrally coordinated Al site (denoted Al(IV)-2) experiences an increased chemical shift and unique quadrupolar parameters relative to the BAS in both dehydrated and hydrated states. These new experimental data, supported by computational and catalytic reaction work, indicate that the second site arises from partially bonded framework (SiO)4-n-Al(OH)n species that significantly increase catalyst reactivity in benzene hydride-transfer and n-hexane cracking reactions. Al(IV)-2 sites result either from framework crystallization defects or from incomplete postsynthetic hydrolysis of a framework Al, prior to the formation of extraframework Al. Populations of this second acidic proton site created by the Al(IV)-2 species are shown to be controlled via postsynthetic catalyst treatments, should be general to different catalyst structures, and significantly enhance catalyst reactivity in the cited probe reactions when they are present. The results herein communicate the highest magnetic field strength data on active zeolite catalyst structures to date and enable for the first time the detection of Al and H association on a dry HZSM-5 catalyst, i.e., under conditions representative of typical end-use processes.

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 acquisition of solid-state NMR spectra of "heavy" spin I = 1/2 nuclei, such as 119Sn, 195Pt, 199Hg or 207Pb can often prove challenging due to the presence of large chemical shift anisotropy (CSA), which can cause significant broadening of spectral lines. However, previous publications have shown that well-resolved spectra can be obtained via inverse 1H detection using HMQC experiments in combination with fast magic angle spinning. In this work, the efficiencies of different 195Pt excitation schemes are analyzed using SIMPSON numerical simulations and experiments performed on cis- and transplatin samples. These schemes include: hard pulses (HP), selective long pulses (SLP) and rotor-synchronized DANTE trains of pulses. The results show that for spectra of species with very large CSA, HP is little efficient, but that both DANTE and SLP provide efficient excitation profiles over a wide range of CSA values. In particular, it is revealed that the SLP scheme is highly robust to offset, pulse amplitude and length, and is simple to set up. These factors make SLP ideally suited to widespread use by "non-experts" for carrying out analyses of materials containing "heavy" spin I = 1/2 nuclei that are subject to very large CSAs. Finally, the existence of an "intermediate" excitation regime, with an rf-field strength in between those of HP and SLP, which is effective for large CSA, is demonstrated. It must be noted that in some samples, multiple sites may exist with very different CSAs. This is the case for 195Pt species with either square-planar or octahedral structures, with large or small CSA, respectively. These two types of CSAs can only be excited simultaneously with DANTE trains, which scale up the effective rf-field. Another way to obtain all the information is to perform two different experiments: one with SLP and the second with HP to excite the sites with moderate/large and small/moderate CSAs, respectively. These two complementary experiments, recorded with two different spinning speeds, can also be used to discriminate the center-band resonances from the spinning sidebands.

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.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2019; 299:109-123. [PMID: 30594000 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmr.2018.12.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2018] [Revised: 12/11/2018] [Accepted: 12/17/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
In solid-state NMR spectroscopy, the through-space transfer of magnetization from protons to quadrupolar nuclei is employed to probe proximities between those isotopes. Furthermore, such transfer, in conjunction with Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP), can enhance the NMR sensitivity of quadrupolar nuclei, as it allows the transfer of DNP-enhanced 1H polarization to surrounding nuclei. We compare here the performances of two approaches to achieve such transfer: PRESTO (Phase-shifted Recoupling Effects a Smooth Transfer of Order), which is currently the method of choice to achieve the magnetization transfer from protons to quadrupolar nuclei and which has been shown to supersede Cross-Polarization under Magic-Angle Spinning (MAS) for quadrupolar nuclei and D-RINEPT (Dipolar-mediated Refocused Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer) using symmetry-based SR412 recoupling, which has already been employed to transfer the magnetization in the reverse way from half-integer quadrupolar spin to protons. We also test the PRESTO sequence with R1676 recoupling using 270090180 composite π-pulses as inversion elements. This recoupling scheme, which has previously been proposed to reintroduce 1H Chemical Shift Anisotropy (CSA) at high MAS frequencies with high robustness to rf-field inhomogeneity, has not so far been employed to reintroduce dipolar couplings with protons. These various techniques to transfer magnetization from protons to quadrupolar nuclei are analyzed using (i) an average Hamiltonian theory, (ii) numerical simulations of spin dynamics, and (iii) experimental 1H → 27Al and 1H → 17O transfers in as-synthesized AlPO4-14 and 17O-labelled fumed silica, respectively. The experiments and simulations are done at two magnetic fields (9.4 and 18.8 T) and several spinning speeds (15, 18-24 and 60 kHz). This analysis indicates that owing to its γ-encoded character, PRESTO yields the highest transfer efficiency at low magnetic fields and MAS frequencies, whereas owing to its higher robustness to rf-field inhomogeneity and chemical shifts, D-RINEPT is more sensitive at high fields and MAS frequencies, notably for protons exhibiting large offset or CSA, such as those involved in hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
The so-called t1 noise, which arises due to random instabilities in the spectrometer hardware, remains the primary source of noise that limits the sensitivity of most 2D NMR experiments, particularly in the expanding group of solid-state NMR methods that utilize dipolar-recoupling. In this communication we revisit the relationship between the signal intensity and the t1 noise produced. It is shown that since the latter scales linearly with the signal strength, the use of a conventional relaxation delay of 1.3T1 may prove far from optimal. In cases where the fluctuations occur on a shorter timescale than the recycle delay, a considerably faster repetition rate should be used to maximize the time sensitivity in a 2D experiment than what is used to maximize the sensitivity in 1D. This is demonstrated with the acquisition of 1H{13C} Dipolar-mediated Heteronuclear Multiple-Quantum Correlation (D-HMQC) type spectra in which the sensitivity could be nearly doubled by choosing a very short relaxation delay corresponding to 0.2T1.

Abstract
We introduce a novel heteronuclear dipolar recoupling based on the R21-1 symmetry, which uses the tanh/tan (tt) shaped pulse as a basic inversion element and is denoted R21-1(tt). Using first-order average Hamiltonian theory, we show that this sequence is non-γ-encoded and that it reintroduces the |m| = 1 spatial component of the Chemical Shift Anisotropy (CSA) of the irradiated isotope and its heteronuclear dipolar interactions. Using numerical simulations and one-dimensional (1D) 27Al-{31P} through-space D-HMQC (Dipolar Heteronuclear Multiple-Quantum Correlation) experiments on VPI-5, we compare the performances of this recoupling to those of other non-γ-encoded |m| = 1 heteronuclear recoupling schemes: REDOR (Rotational-Echo DOuble Resonance), SFAM (Simultaneous Frequency and Amplitude Modulation) and R42-1(tt). Such comparison indicates that the R21-1(tt) scheme is more robust to CSA, offset and radiofrequency field inhomogeneities than the other schemes. We take advantage of the high robustness of R21-1(tt) to CSA and offset to demonstrate the possibility to correlate the signals of 207Pb isotope with those of neighboring half-integer spin quadrupolar nuclei. Such approach is demonstrated experimentally by acquiring 11B-{207Pb} D-HMQC 2D spectra of Pb4O(BO3)2 crystalline powder.

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
We propose a dipolar HMQC Hadamard-encoded (D-HMQC-Hn) experiment for fast 2D correlations of abundant nuclei in solids. The main limitation of the Hadamard methods resides in the length of the encoding pulses, which results from a compromise between the selectivity and the sensitivity due to losses. For this reason, these methods should mainly be used with sparse spectra, and they profit from the increased separation of the resonances at high magnetic fields. In the case of the D-HMQC-Hn experiments, we give a simple rule that allows directly setting the optimum length of the selective pulses, versus the minimum separation of the resonances in the indirect dimension. The demonstration has been performed on a fully 13C,15N labelled f-MLF sample, and it allowed recording the build-up curves of the 13C-15N cross-peaks within 10 min. However, the method could also be used in the case of less sensitive samples, but with more accumulations.

Abstract
The short and intermediate range structures of a large series of bioactive borophosphosilicate (BPS) glasses were probed by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Two BPS glass series were designed by gradually substituting SiO2 by B2O3 in the respective phosphosilicate base compositions 24.1Na2O-23.3CaO-48.6SiO2-4.0P2O5 ("S49") and 24.6Na2O-26.7CaO-46.1SiO2-2.6P2O5 ("S46"), the latter constituting the "45S5 Bioglass" utilized for bone grafting applications. The BPS glass networks are built by interconnected SiO4, BO4, and BO3 moieties, whereas P exists mainly as orthophosphate anions, except for a minor network-associated portion involving P-O-Si and P-O-B[4] motifs, whose populations were estimated by heteronuclear 31P{11B} NMR experimentation. The high Na+/Ca2+ contents give fragmented glass networks with large amounts of nonbridging oxygen (NBO) anions. The MD-generated glass models reveal an increasing propensity for NBO accommodation among the network units according to BO4 < SiO4 < BO3 ≪ PO4. The BO4/BO3 intermixing was examined by double-quantum-single-quantum correlation 11B NMR experiments, which evidenced the presence of all three BO3-BO3, BO3-BO4, and BO4-BO4 connectivities, with B[3]-O-B[4] bridges dominating. Notwithstanding that B[4]-O-B[4] linkages are disfavored, both NMR spectroscopy and MD simulations established their presence in these modifier-rich BPS glasses, along with non-negligible B[4]-NBO contacts, at odds with the conventional structural view of borosilicate glasses. We discuss the relative propensities for intermixing of the Si/B/P network formers. Despite the absence of pronounced preferences for Si-O-Si bond formation, the glass models manifest subtle subnanometer-sized structural inhomogeneities, where SiO4 tetrahedra tend to self-associate into small chain/ring motifs embedded in BO3/BO4-dominated domains.

Abstract
The most utilized through-space correlation 1H-{X} methods with proton indirect detection use two consecutive transfers, 1H → X and then X → 1H, with the evolution time t1 in the middle. When the X isotope is not 100% naturally abundant (NA), only the signal of the protons close to these isotopes is modulated by the 1H-X dipolar interactions. This signal is theoretically disentangled with phase-cycling from the un-modulated one. However, this separation is never perfect and it may lead to t1-noise in case of isotopes with very small NA, such as 13C or even worse 15N. One way to reduce this t1-noise is to minimize, 'purge', during t1 the un-modulated 1H magnetization before trying to suppress it with phase-cycling. We analyze experimentally several sequences following the HORROR condition, which allow purging the 1H transverse magnetization. The comparison is made at three spinning speeds, including very fast ones for 1H resolution: 27.75, 55.5 and 111 kHz. We show (i) that the efficiency of this purging process increases with the spinning speed, and (ii) that the best recoupling sequences are the two simplest ones: XY and S1 = SR212. We then compare the S/N that can be achieved with the two most used 1H-{X} 2D methods, called D-HMQC and CP-CP. The only difference in between these two methods is that the transfers are done with either two π/2-pulses on X channel (D-HMQC), or two Cross-Polarization (CP) transfers (CP-CP). The first method, D-HMQC, is very robust and should be preferred when indirectly detecting nuclei with high NA. The second method, CP-CP, (i) requires experimental precautions to limit the t1-noise, and (ii) is difficult to use with quadrupolar nuclei because the two CP transfers are then not efficient nor robust. However, CP-CP is presently the best method to indirectly detect isotopes with small NA, such as 13C and 15N.

Abstract
We introduce two-dimensional (2D) 71Ga-77Se through-bond and through-space correlation experiments. Such correlations are achieved using (i) the J-mediated Refocused Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer (J-RINEPT) method with 71Ga excitation and 77Se Carr-Purcell-Meiboon-Gill (CPMG) detection, as well as (ii) the J- or dipolar-mediated Hetero-nuclear Multiple-Quantum Correlation (J- or D-HMQC) schemes with 71Ga excitation and quadrupolar CPMG (QCPMG) detection. These methods are applied to the crystalline β-Ga2Se3 and the 0.2Ga2Se3-0.8GeSe2 glass. Such glass leads to a homogeneous and reproducible glass-ceramic, which is a good alternative to single-crystalline Ge and polycrystalline ZnSe materials for making lenses transparent in the IR range for thermal imaging applications. We show that 2D 71Ga-77Se correlation experiments allow resolving the 77Se signals of molecular units, which are not resolved in the 1D 77Se CPMG spectrum. Additionally, the build-up curves of the J-RINEPT and the J-HMQC experiments allow the estimate of the 71Ga-77Se J-couplings via one and three-bonds in the three-dimensional network of β-Ga2Se3. Furthermore, these build-up curves show that the one-bond 1J71Ga-77Se couplings in the 0.2Ga2Se3-0.8GeSe2 glass are similar to those measured for β-Ga2Se3. We also report 2D 71Ga Satellite Transition Magic-Angle Spinning (STMAS) spectrum of β-Ga2Se3 using QCPMG detection at high magnetic field and high Magic-Angle Spinning frequency using large radio frequency field. Such spectrum allows separating the signal of β-Ga2Se3 and that of an impurity.

[PMID: 28392024 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssnmr.2017.03.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2017] [Revised: 03/25/2017] [Accepted: 03/28/2017] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
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
We introduce novel sequences using indirect detection to correlate quadrupolar nuclei and spin-1/2 isotopes, other than 1H and 19F. These sequences use γ-encoded symmetry-based RNnν schemes that reintroduce the space component |m| = 1 of the heteronuclear dipolar coupling. These schemes can be applied to the indirectly detected spin in Dipolar-mediated Heteronuclear Multiple-Quantum Correlation (D-HMQC) sequence or to the detected isotope in a novel sequence, named Dipolar-mediated Heteronuclear Universal-Quantum Correlation (D-HUQC). We show that the signal of these sequences using γ-encoded recoupling does not depend on the γ Euler angle relating the inter-nuclear vector between the coupled spins to the MAS rotor-fixed frame. Therefore, the transfer efficiency of these sequences is in principle higher than that of D-HMQC methods using non-γ-encoded recoupling. Furthermore, numerical simulations show that the heteronuclear correlation experiments employing γ-encoded recoupling are more robust to Chemical Shift Anisotropy (CSA) of the irradiated spin and MAS frequency fluctuations. These results are confirmed by 13C-{15N} heteronuclear correlation on glycine and 31P-27Al ones on VPI-5 and Na7(AlP2O7)4PO4. These experiments indicate that R1635 recoupling produces the highest signal-to-noise ratio in heteronuclear correlation 2D experiments when the detected spin-1/2 nuclei are subject to large CSA.

Abstract
The description of the structure of aluminosilicate glasses is more often centered on its cationic constituents, and oxygen ions determine their connectivity, directly impacting the physical properties of those disordered materials. A very powerful approach to ascertain this short- to medium-range order is to use 17O NMR, but up to now the speciation of the chemical bonds was only ambiguously achieved for multicomponent glasses. Here, we propose to directly probe the very scarcely explored through-bond correlations using 17O{27Al} and 17O{23Na} solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) double-resonance experiments. Our approach allows quantifying the strongly overlapping components of the 17O NMR spectra of a quaternary aluminosilicate glass. We observe a cooperative location of alkali and aluminum ions in the neighborhood of bridging oxygens, which is consistent with the modified random network model where the glass structure is composed of two regions: network structure and breakage region (i.e., channel).

Abstract
Heavy spin-1/2 nuclides are known to possess very large chemical shift anisotropies that can challenge even the most advanced magic-angle-spinning (MAS) techniques. Wide manifolds of overlapping spinning sidebands and insufficient excitation bandwidths often obfuscate meaningful spectral information and force the use of static, low-resolution solid-state (SS)NMR methods for the characterization of materials. To address these issues, we have merged fast-magic-angle-turning (MAT) and dipolar heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (D-HMQC) experiments to obtain D-HMQC-MAT pulse sequences which enable the rapid acquisition of 2D SSNMR spectra that correlate isotropic 1H chemical shifts to the indirectly detected isotropic "infinite-MAS" spectra of heavy spin-1/2 nuclides. For these nuclides, the combination of fast MAS and 1H detection provides a high sensitivity, which rivals the DNP-enhanced ultra-wideline SSNMR. The new pulse sequences were used to determine the Pt coordination environments in a complex mixture of decomposition products of transplatin and in a metal-organic framework with Pt ions coordinated to the linker ligands.

Abstract
Valuable information about the local environment of the aluminum nucleus can be obtained through (27)Al Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) parameters like the isotropic chemical shift, scalar and quadrupolar coupling constants, and relaxation rate. With nearly 250 scientific articles per year dealing with (27)Al NMR spectroscopy, this analytical tool has become popular because of the recent progress that has made the acquisition and interpretation of the NMR data much easier. The application of (27)Al NMR techniques to various classes of compounds, either in solution or solid-state, has been shown to be extremely informative concerning local structure and chemistry of aluminum in its various environments. The development of experimental methodologies combined with theoretical approaches and modeling has contributed to major advances in spectroscopic characterization especially in materials sciences where long-range periodicity and classical local NMR probes are lacking. In this review we will present an overview of results obtained by (27)Al NMR as well as the most relevant methodological developments over the last 25years, concerning particularly on progress in the application of liquid- and solid-state (27)Al NMR to the study of aluminum-based materials such as aluminum polyoxoanions, zeolites, aluminophosphates, and metal-organic-frameworks.

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
Boron heteroatom distributions are shown to be significantly different in two closely related layered borosilicates synthesized with subtly different alkylammonium surfactant species. The complicated order and disorder near framework boron sites in both borosilicates were characterized at the molecular level by using a combination of multi-dimensional solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy techniques and first-principles calculations. Specifically, two-dimensional (2D) solid-state J-mediated (through-bond) (11)B{(29)Si} NMR analyses provide direct and local information on framework boron sites that are covalently bonded to silicon sites through bridging oxygen atoms. The resolution and identification of correlated signals from distinct (11)B-O-(29)Si site pairs reveal distinct distributions of boron heteroatoms in layered borosilicate frameworks synthesized with the different C16H33N(+)Me3 and C16H33N(+)Me2Et structure-directing surfactant species. The analyses establish that boron atoms are distributed non-selectively among different types of silicon sites in the layered C16H33N(+)Me3-directed borosilicate framework, whereas boron atoms are preferentially incorporated into incompletely condensed Q(3)-type sites in the C16H33N(+)Me2Et-directed borosilicate material. Interestingly, framework boron species appear to induce framework condensation of their next-nearest-neighbor silicon sites in the C16H33N(+)Me3-directed borosilicate. By comparison, the incorporation of boron atoms is found to preserve the topology of the C16H33N(+)Me2Et-directed borosilicate frameworks. The differences in boron site distributions and local boron-induced structural transformations for the two surfactant-directed borosilicates appear to be due to different extents of cross-linking of the siliceous frameworks. The molecular-level insights are supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which show the distinct influences of boron atoms on the C16H33N(+)Me3- and C16H33N(+)Me2Et-directed borosilicate frameworks, consistent with the experimental observations.

Abstract
We present an experimental comparison of several through-space Hetero-nuclear Multiple-Quantum Correlation experiments, which allow the indirect observation of homo-nuclear single- (SQ) or double-quantum (DQ) (14)N coherences via spy (1)H nuclei. These (1)H-{(14)N} D-HMQC sequences differ not only by the order of (14)N coherences evolving during the indirect evolution, t1, but also by the radio-frequency (rf) scheme used to excite and reconvert these coherences under Magic-Angle Spinning (MAS). Here, the SQ coherences are created by the application of center-band frequency-selective pulses, i.e. long and low-power rectangular pulses at the (14)N Larmor frequency, ν0((14)N), whereas the DQ coherences are excited and reconverted using rf irradiation either at ν0((14)N) or at the (14)N overtone frequency, 2ν0((14)N). The overtone excitation is achieved either by constant frequency rectangular pulses or by frequency-swept pulses, specifically Wide-band, Uniform-Rate, and Smooth-Truncation (WURST) pulse shapes. The present article compares the performances of four different (1)H-{(14)N} D-HMQC sequences, including those with (14)N rectangular pulses at ν0((14)N) for the indirect detection of homo-nuclear (i) (14)N SQ or (ii) DQ coherences, as well as their overtone variants using (iii) rectangular or (iv) WURST pulses. The compared properties include: (i) the sensitivity, (ii) the spectral resolution in the (14)N dimension, (iii) the rf requirements (power and pulse length), as well as the robustness to (iv) rf offset and (v) MAS frequency instabilities. Such experimental comparisons are carried out for γ-glycine and l-histidine.HCl monohydrate, which contain (14)N sites subject to moderate quadrupole interactions. We demonstrate that the optimum choice of the (1)H-{(14)N} D-HMQC method depends on the experimental goal. When the sensitivity and/or the robustness to offset are the major concerns, the D-HMQC sequence allowing the indirect detection of (14)N SQ coherences should be employed. Conversely, when the highest resolution and/or adjusted indirect spectral width are needed, overtone experiments are the method of choice. The overtone scheme using WURST pulses results in broader excitation bandwidths than that using rectangular pulses, at the expense of reduced sensitivity. Numerically exact simulations also show that the sensitivity of the overtone (1)H-{(14)N} D-HMQC experiment increases for larger quadrupole interactions.

Abstract
We show both experimentally and numerically that in experiments involving transfer of magnetization from 1H to the quadrupolar nuclei under MAS, the PRESTO technique consistently outperforms the traditionally used CP method, affording more quantitative intensities, improved lineshapes, better sensitivity, and easier optimization.

Abstract
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has long been established as offering unique atomic-scale and element-specific insight into the structure, disorder, and dynamics of materials. NMR spectra of quadrupolar nuclei (I > (1)/2) are often perceived as being challenging to acquire and to interpret because of the presence of anisotropic broadening arising from the interaction of the electric field gradient and the nuclear electric quadrupole moment, which broadens the spectral lines, often over several megahertz. Despite the vast amount of information contained in the spectral line shapes, the problems with sensitivity and resolution have, until very recently, limited the application of NMR spectroscopy of quadrupolar nuclei in the solid state. In this Perspective, we provide a brief overview of the quadrupolar interaction, describe some of the basic experimental approaches used for acquiring high-resolution NMR spectra, and discuss the information that these spectra can provide. We then describe some interesting recent examples to showcase some of the more exciting and challenging new applications of NMR spectra of quadrupolar nuclei in the fields of energy materials, microporous materials, Earth sciences, and biomaterials. Finally, we consider the possible directions that this highly informative technique may take in the future.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2014; 245:38-49. [PMID: 24929867 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmr.2014.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2014] [Revised: 05/02/2014] [Accepted: 05/05/2014] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
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
In this contribution, the latest developments in solid state NMR are presented in the field of organic-inorganic (O/I) materials (or hybrid materials). Such materials involve mineral and organic (including polymeric and biological) components, and can exhibit complex O/I interfaces. Hybrids are currently a major topic of research in nanoscience, and solid state NMR is obviously a pertinent spectroscopic tool of investigation. Its versatility allows the detailed description of the structure and texture of such complex materials. The article is divided in two main parts: in the first one, recent NMR methodological/instrumental developments are presented in connection with hybrid materials. In the second part, an exhaustive overview of the major classes of O/I materials and their NMR characterization is presented.
