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.

Abstract
The Mg-O coordination environment of silicate glasses of composition CaMgSi2O6, Na2MgSi3O8, and K2MgSi5O12 is probed using ultrahigh-field (35.2 T) 25Mg magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR) and triple-quantum MAS NMR spectroscopy. These spectra clearly reveal the coexistence of 4-fold- (MgIV) and 6-fold- (MgVI) coordinated Mg in all glasses. The MgIV/MgVI ratio implies an average Mg-O coordination number of ∼5 for CaMgSi2O6 glass, bringing NMR results for the first time in good agreement with those reported in previous studies based on diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, thus resolving a decade-long controversy regarding Mg coordination in alkaline-earth silicate glasses. The Mg-O coordination number decreases to ∼4.5 in the alkali-Mg silicate glasses, indicating that Mg competes effectively with the low field strength alkali cations for the nonbridging oxygen in the structure to attain tetrahedral coordination. This work illustrates the promise of ultrahigh-field NMR spectroscopy in structural studies involving nuclides with low gyromagnetic ratio.

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
Double-cross polarization to the satellite-transitions (STs) of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei is demonstrated using proton-detected heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) under fast magic-angle spinning (MAS). By placing the rf frequency away from the central-transition (CT) and selective to the STs, average Hamiltonian theory shows a scaled effective rf field with a phase equal to the complex ST spinning sideband being irradiated. Such an effective rf field can excite and spinlock STs but the phase spread usually leads to signal cancellation in one-step excitation or cross polarization experiments. The cancellation does not occur for two-step double cross-polarization (DCP) HETCOR experiments, therefore high efficiencies can be obtained. With careful magic-angle calibration, ST and double-quantum ST (DQST) HETCOR experiments are demonstrated with the 35Cl nuclei in histidine·HCl·H2O. These experiments provide additional information over the commonly observed CT spectra and near isotropic resolution in the case of DQST of spin S = 3/2 quadrupolar nuclei.

Abstract
Neutron diffraction with magnesium isotope substitution, high energy x-ray diffraction, and 29Si, 27Al, and 25Mg solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy were used to measure the structure of glassy diopside (CaMgSi2O6), enstatite (MgSiO3), and four (MgO) x(Al2O3) y(SiO2)1−x−y glasses, with x = 0.375 or 0.25 along the 50 mol. % silica tie-line (1 − x − y = 0.5) or with x = 0.3 or 0.2 along the 60 mol. % silica tie-line (1 − x − y = 0.6). The bound coherent neutron scattering length of the isotope 25Mg was remeasured, and the value of 3.720(12) fm was obtained from a Rietveld refinement of the powder diffraction patterns measured for crystalline 25MgO. The diffraction results for the glasses show a broad asymmetric distribution of Mg–O nearest-neighbors with a coordination number of 4.40(4) and 4.46(4) for the diopside and enstatite glasses, respectively. As magnesia is replaced by alumina along a tie-line with 50 or 60 mol. % silica, the Mg–O coordination number increases with the weighted bond distance as less Mg2+ ions adopt a network-modifying role and more of these ions adopt a predominantly charge-compensating role. 25Mg magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR results could not resolve the different coordination environments of Mg2+ under the employed field strength (14.1 T) and spinning rate (20 kHz). The results emphasize the power of neutron diffraction with isotope substitution to provide unambiguous site-specific information on the coordination environment of magnesium in disordered materials.

Improved resolution for spin-3/2 isotopes in solids via the indirect NMR detection of triple-quantum coherences using the T-HMQC sequence. SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2022; 122:101835.

Abstract
The indirect NMR detection of quadrupolar nuclei in solids under magic-angle spinning (MAS) is possible with the through-space HMQC (heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence) scheme incorporating the TRAPDOR (transfer of population in double-resonance) dipolar recoupling. This sequence, called T-HMQC, exhibits limited t1-noise. In this contribution, with the help of numerical simulations of spin dynamics, we show that most of the time, the fastest coherence transfer in the T-HMQC scheme is achieved when TRAPDOR recoupling employs the highest radiofrequency (rf) field compatible with the probe specifications. We also demonstrate how the indirect detection of the triple-quantum (3Q) coherences of spin-3/2 quadrupolar nuclei in solids improves the spectral resolution for these isotopes. The sequence is then called T-HMQC3. We demonstrate the gain in resolution provided by this sequence for the indirect proton detection of 35Cl nuclei in l-histidine∙HCl and l-cysteine∙HCl, as well as that of 23Na isotope in NaH2PO4. These experiments indicate that the gain in resolution depends on the relative values of the chemical and quadrupolar-induced shifts (QIS) for the different spin-3/2 species. In the case of NaH2PO4, we show that the transfer efficiency of the T-HMQC3 sequence employing an rf-field of 80 kHz with a MAS frequency of 62.5 kHz reaches 75% of that of the t1-noise eliminated (TONE) dipolar-mediated HMQC (D-HMQC) scheme.

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
Oxygen is an integral component of proteins but remains sparsely studied because its only NMR active isotope, 17O, has low sensitivity, low resolution, and large quadrupolar couplings. These issues are addressed here with efficient isotopic labeling, high magnetic fields, fast sample spinning, and 1H detection in conjunction with multidimensional experiments to observe oxygen sites specific to each amino acid residue. Notably, cross-polarization at high sample spinning frequencies provides efficient 13C ↔ 17O polarization transfer. The use of 17O for initial polarization is found to provide better sensitivity per unit time compared to 1H. Sharp isotropic 17O peaks are obtained by using a low-power multiple-quantum sequence, which in turn allows extraction of quadrupolar parameters for each oxygen site. Finally, the potential to determine sequential assignments and long-range distance restraints is demonstrated by using 3D 1H/13C/17O experiments, suggesting that such methods can become an essential tool for biomolecular structure determination.

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
MIL-53(Al) is a member of the most extensively studied metal-organic framework (MOF) families owing to its "flexible" framework and superior stability. 17 O solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectroscopy is an ideal site-specific characterization tool as it probes local oxygen environments. Because oxygen local structure is often altered during phase change, 17 O SSNMR can be used to follow phase transitions. However, 17 O is a challenging nucleus to study via SSNMR due to its low sensitivity and resolution arising from the very low natural abundance of 17 O isotope and its quadrupolar nature. In this work, we describe that by using 17 O isotopic enrichment and performing 17 O SSNMR experiments at an ultrahigh magnetic field of 35.2 T, all chemically and crystallographically inequivalent oxygen sites in two representative MIL-53(Al) (as-made and water adsorbed) phases can be completely resolved. The number of signals in each phase is consistent with that predicted from the space group refined from powder X-ray diffraction data. The 17 O 1D magic-angle spinning (MAS) and 2D triple-quantum MAS (3QMAS) spectra at 35.2 T furnish fine information about the host-guest interactions and the structural changes associated with phase transition. The ability to completely resolve multiple chemically and crystallographically inequivalent oxygen sites in MOFs at very high magnetic field, as illustrated in this work, significantly enhances the potential for using the NMR crystallography approach to determine crystal structures of new MOFs and verify the structures of existing MOFs obtained from refining powder X-ray diffraction data.

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
The spectroscopic study of oxygen, a vital element in materials, physical, and life sciences, is of tremendous fundamental and practical importance. 17O solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectroscopy has evolved into an ideal site-specific characterization tool, furnishing valuable information on the local geometric and bonding environments about chemically distinct and, in some favorable cases, crystallographically inequivalent oxygen sites. However, 17O is a challenging nucleus to study via SSNMR, as it suffers from low sensitivity and resolution, owing to the quadrupolar interaction and low 17O natural abundance. Herein, we report a significant advance in 17O SSNMR spectroscopy. 17O isotopic enrichment and the use of an ultrahigh 35.2 T magnetic field have unlocked the identification of many inequivalent carboxylate oxygen sites in the as-made and activated phases of the metal-organic framework (MOF) α-Mg3(HCOO)6. The subtle 17O spectral differences between the as-made and activated phases yield detailed information about host-guest interactions, including insight into nonconventional O···H-C hydrogen bonding. Such weak interactions often play key roles in the applications of MOFs, such as gas adsorption and biomedicine, and are usually difficult to study via other characterization routes. The power of performing 17O SSNMR experiments at an ultrahigh magnetic field of 35.2 T for MOF characterization is further demonstrated by examining activation of the MIL-53(Al) MOF. The sensitivity and resolution enhanced at 35.2 T allows partially and fully activated MIL-53(Al) to be unambiguously distinguished and also permits several oxygen environments in the partially activated phase to be tentatively identified. This demonstration of the very high resolution of 17O SSNMR recorded at the highest magnetic field accessible to chemists to date illustrates how a broad variety of scientists can now study oxygen-containing materials and obtain previously inaccessible fine structural information.

A Practical Review of NMR Lineshapes for Spin-1/2 and Quadrupolar Nuclei in Disordered Materials. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21165666.

Abstract
NMR is a powerful spectroscopic method that can provide information on the structural disorder in solids, complementing scattering and diffraction techniques. The structural disorder in solids can generate a dispersion of local magnetic and electric fields, resulting in a distribution of isotropic chemical shift δiso and quadrupolar coupling CQ. For spin-1/2 nuclei, the NMR linewidth and shape under high-resolution magic-angle spinning (MAS) reflects the distributions of isotropic chemical shift, providing a rich source of disorder information. For quadrupolar nuclei, the second-order quadrupolar broadening remains present even under MAS. In addition to isotropic chemical shift, structural disorder can impact the electric field gradient (EFG) and consequently the quadrupolar NMR parameters. The distributions of quadrupolar coupling and isotropic chemical shift are superimposed with the second-order quadrupolar broadening, but can be potentially characterized by MQMAS (multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning) spectroscopy. We review analyses of NMR lineshapes in 2D DQ–SQ (double-quantum single-quantum) and MQMAS spectroscopies, to provide a guide for more general lineshape analysis. In addition, methods to enhance the spectral resolution and sensitivity for quadrupolar nuclei are discussed, including NMR pulse techniques and the application of high magnetic fields. The role of magnetic field strength and its impact on the strategy of determining optimum NMR methods for disorder characterization are also discussed.

Abstract
In solid-state NMR, multiple-quantum MAS (MQMAS) and satellite-transition MAS (STMAS) experiments are well-established techniques to obtain high-resolution spectra of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei. In 2004 and 2005, a soft-pulse-added-mixing (SPAM) concept was introduced by Gan and Amoureux to enhance the S/N ratio of MQMAS and STMAS experiments. Despite their robustness and simplicity, SPAM approaches have not yet been widely applied. Here, we further exploit SPAM concepts for sensitivity enhancement upon acquisition of two-dimensional MQMAS and STMAS spectra and also establish a general procedure upon implementation of SPAM-MQMAS and SPAM-STMAS NMR. Its effectiveness and ease in experimental setup are demonstrated using simulations and experiments performed on I = 3/2 (23Na, 87Rb), 5/2 (27Al, 85Rb) and 9/2 (93Nb) nuclei with a variety of quadrupolar coupling constants (CQ). Compared to the conventional z-filter methods, sensitivity enhancements in between 2 and 4 are achievable with SPAM. We recommend to use SPAM with a ratio of 4:1 for the number of echoes and antiechoes to safely maximize the sensitivity and resolution simultaneously. In addition, a comparison of the experimental approaches is made in the context of SPAM-MQMAS and SPAM-STMAS NMR with respect to repetition delay and spinning frequency, aiming to discuss the precautions upon making a judicious choice of high-resolution NMR methods of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei.

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
The study of inorganic glass structure is critically important for basic glass science and especially the commercial development of glasses for a variety of technological uses. One of the best means by which to achieve this understanding is through application of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which has a long and interesting history. This technique is element specific, but highly complex, and thus, one of the many inquiries made by non-NMR specialists working in glass science is what type of information and which elements can be studied by this method. This review presents a summary of the different elements that are amenable to the study of glasses by NMR spectroscopy and provides examples of the type of atomic level structural information that can be achieved. It serves to inform the non-specialist working in glass science and technology about some of the benefits and challenges involved in the study of inorganic glass structure using modern, readily-available NMR methods.

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.

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 present a novel cross-polarization MAS NMR pulse sequence to probe proximities between half-integer quadrupolar isotopes. This sequence employs a multi-pulse cross-polarization (MP-CP) transfer, instead of the previous continuous-wave CP (CW-CP) transfer. With respect to CW-CP transfers, our sequence is more robust with respect to offsets and Rotary Resonance Recoupling detrimental effects, especially when taking into account rf-inhomogeneity. Moreover, by using a frequency splitter and a single channel MAS probe, this MP-CP sequence may allow analyzing the through-space connectivities between two isotopes with half-integer spin values and close Larmor frequencies.

Abstract
A general strategy of structural analysis of alumina silicate by combining various solid-state NMR measurements such as single pulse, multi-quantum magic angle spinning, double-quantum homo-nuclear correlation under magic angle spinning (DQ-MAS), and cross-polarization hetero-nuclear correlation (CP-HETCOR) was evaluated with the aid of high magnetic field NMR (800 MHz for (1) H Larmor frequency) by using anorthite as a model material. The high magnetic field greatly enhanced resolution of (27) Al in single pulse, DQ-MAS, and even in triple-quantum magic angle spinning NMR spectra. The spatial proximities through dipolar couplings were probed by the DQ-MAS methods for homo-nuclear correlations between both (27) Al-(27) Al and (29) Si-(29) Si and by CP-HETCOR for hetero-nuclear correlations between (27) Al-(29) Si in the anorthite framework. By combining various NMR methodologies, we elucidated detailed spatial correlations among various aluminum and silicon species in anorthite that was hard to be determined using conventional analytical methods at low magnetic field. Moreover, the presented approach is applicable to analyze other alumina-silicate minerals.

Abstract
Atomic scale chemical environments of boron in coal has been studied by solid state NMR spectroscopy including magic angle spinning (MAS), satellite transition magic angle spinning (STMAS), and cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS). The (11)B NMR spectra can be briefly classified according to the degree of coalification. On the (11)B NMR spectra of lignite, bituminous, and sub-bituminous coals (carbon content of 70-90mass%), three sites assigned to four-coordinate boron ([4])B with small quadrupolar coupling constants (≤0.9 MHz) are observed. Two of the ([4])B sites in downfield are considered organoboron complexes with aromatic ligands, while the other in the most upper field is considered inorganic tetragonal boron (BO(4)). By contrast, on the (11)B NMR spectra of blind coal (carbon content >90mass%), the ([4])B which substitutes tetrahedral silicon of Illite is observed as a representative species. It has been considered that the organoboron is decomposed and released from the parent phase with the advance of coal maturation, and then the released boron reacts with the inorganic phase to substitute an element of inorganic minerals. Otherwise boron contained originally in inorganic minerals might remain preserved even under the high temperature condition that is generated during coalification.

Abstract
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of quadrupolar nuclei has recently undergone remarkable development of capabilities for obtaining structural and dynamic information at the molecular level. This review summarizes the key achievements attained during the last couple of decades in solid-state NMR of both integer spin and half-integer spin quadrupolar nuclei. We provide a concise description of the first- and second-order quadrupolar interactions, and their effect on the static and magic angle spinning (MAS) spectra. Methods are explained for efficient excitation of single- and multiple-quantum coherences, and acquisition of spectra under low- and high-resolution conditions. Most of all, we present a coherent, comparative description of the high-resolution methods for half-integer quadrupolar nuclei, including double rotation (DOR), dynamic angle spinning (DAS), multiple-quantum magic angle spinning (MQMAS), and satellite transition magic angle spinning (STMAS). Also highlighted are methods for processing and analysis of the spectra. Finally, we review methods for probing the heteronuclear and homonuclear correlations between the quadrupolar nuclei and their quadrupolar or spin-1/2 neighbors.

Abstract
The chemical states of boron in coal fly ash, which may control its leaching into the environment, were investigated by focused-ion-beam time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (FIB-TOF-SIMS) and satellite-transition magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (STMAS NMR) spectroscopy. The distribution of boron on the surface and in the interior of micron-sized fly ash particles was directly observed by FIB-TOF-SIMS. Coordination numbers of boron and its bonding with different atoms from particles of bulk samples were investigated by STMAS NMR. Boron in coal fly ash with relatively poor leaching characteristics appears as trigonal BO(3) and coexists with Ca and Fe at the outer layer of every particle and inside CaO-MgO particles. In contrast, boron in coal fly ash with better leaching characteristics appears as CaO- or MgO-trigonal BO(3) and tetragonal BO(4), and it is distributed only on the outer surface of each ash particle without showing any correlation with a particular element.

Abstract
We report the first solid-state 27Al NMR study of three aluminum phthalocyanine dyes: aluminum phthalocyanine chloride, AlPcCl (1); aluminum-1,8,15,22-tetrakis(phenylthio)-29H,31H-phthalocyanine chloride, AlPc(SPh)4Cl (2); and aluminum-2,3-naphthalocyanine chloride, AlNcCl (3). Each of these compounds contains Al3+ ions coordinating to four nitrogen atoms and a chlorine atom. Solid-state 27Al NMR spectra, including multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning (MQMAS) spectra and quadrupolar Carr–Purcell–Meiboom–Gill (QCPMG) spectra of stationary powdered samples have been acquired at multiple high magnetic field strengths (11.7, 14.1, and 21.1 T) to determine their composition and number of aluminum sites, which were analyzed to extract detailed information on the aluminum electric field gradient (EFG) and nuclear magnetic shielding tensors. The quadrupolar parameters for each 27Al site were determined from spectral simulations, with quadrupolar coupling constants (CQ) ranging from 5.40 to 10.0 MHz and asymmetry parameters (η) ranging from 0.10 to 0.50, and compared well with the results of quantum chemical calculations of these tensors. We also report the largest 27Al chemical shielding anisotropy (CSA), with a span of 120 ± 10 ppm, observed directly in a solid material. The combination of MQMAS and computational predictions are used to interpret the presence of multiple aluminum sites in two of the three samples.

Abstract
The multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning (MQMAS) and satellite-transition magic-angle spinning (STMAS) experiments refocus second-order quadrupolar broadening of half-integer quadrupolar spins in the form of two-dimensional experiments. Isotropic shearing is usually applied along the indirect dimension of the 2D spectra such that an isotropic projection free of anisotropic quadrupolar broadening can be obtained. An alternative shear transformation by a factor equal to the coherence level (quantum number) selected during the evolution period is proposed. Such a transformation eliminates chemical shift along the indirect dimension leaving only the second-order quadrupolar-induced shift and anisotropic broadening, and is expected to be particularly useful for disordered systems. This transformation, dubbed Q-shearing, can help avoid aliasing problems due to large chemical shift ranges and spinning sidebands. It can also be used as an intermediate step to the isotropic representation for expanding the spectral window of rotor-synchronized experiments.

Abstract
Two dimensional multiple quantum (MQ) MAS NMR experiments have become popular due to the wide applicability of this technique to structural questions in materials science, the abundance of half-integer spin nuclei in the periodic table, and the ease of implementation on typical solid state NMR instruments. In spite of the high-resolution theoretically possible from such experiments, the homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening factors inherent in many samples of interest can make spectral analysis challenging. We present several possible spectral shearing schemes that may be useful for spectral analysis, and in particular we introduce shearing in the directly detected dimension. We suggest that for amorphous or disordered samples that give broad spectral features, shearing may be used as a general tool for optimal positioning of these features relative to one another and for the characterization of isotropic chemical and quadrupolar shifts.

Abstract
A simple solution is proposed to prevent a solid state polycrystalline sample from deterioration during long time high speed spinning experiments in solid state NMR. It is found that if a certain percentage ( approximately 40% volume) of polyethylene glycol (PEG, (HO-CH(2)-(CH(2)-O-CH(2)-)(n)-CH(2)-OH)(n)) is mixed with the sample that are subject to deterioration, the quality of the sample can be maintained for a long time under high speed spinning for a few days or longer, sufficient for multi-dimensional and/or low-sensitivity experiments. Both 1D and 2D experimental results are shown to support this idea.

Abstract
An experimental comparison of sensitivity and resolution of satellite transition (ST) MAS and multiple quantum (MQ) MAS was performed for (27)Al (I=5/2) using several pulse sequences with a z-filter and SPAM, and two inorganic samples of kaolin (Al(2)Si(2)O(5)(OH)(4)) and glass (43.1CaO-12.5Al(2)O(3)-44.4SiO(2)). Six pulse sequences of STMAS (double-quantum filter-soft pulse added mixing=DQF-SPAM, double-quantum filter=DQF, double-quantum=DQ) and MQMAS (3QMAS-z-filter=3Qz, 3QMAS-SPAM=3Q-SPAM, 5QMAS-z-filter=5Qz) are employed. All experiments have been conducted utilizing a static field of 16.4T (700MHz for (1)H) and a rotor spinning frequency of 20kHz. Dependence of S/N ratios as a function of radio frequency (r.f.) field strengths indicates that strong r.f. fields are essential to obtain a better S/N ratio in all experiments. High sensitivity is obtained in the following order: DQF-SPAM, DQF, DQ, 3QSPAM, and 3Qz, although the degree of sensitivity enhancement given by STMAS for glass is slightly smaller than that for kaolin. This might be due to the different excitation and conversion efficiencies of ST and MQ coherences as a function C(q) values because quadrupolar interaction of the glass are widely distributed, or to motional broadening caused by framework flexibility in the structure of glass. With respect to resolution, the full widths at half maximum (FWHM) of F(1) projections of DQF-STMAS and 3QMAS spectra for kaolin are found to be comparable, which agrees with a simulated result reported in a literature. For glass, the STMAS possess slightly wider line widths than 3QMAS. However, because such a difference in line widths of STMAS and 3QMAS spectra is substantially small, we have concluded that STMAS and 3QMAS have comparable resolution for crystalline and non-crystalline materials.

Abstract
We here report on the influence of heteronuclear dipolar decoupling on the (27)Al 3QMAS, 5QMAS, and the double-quantum filter-satellite-transition magic-angle spinning (DQF-STMAS) spectra of a strongly dipolar-coupled system, gibbsite. The requirements for heteronuclear dipolar decoupling increase with the order of coherence evolving in the indirect dimension of a two-dimensional (2D) experiment. The isotropic line width of the high-resolution 2D spectra, in samples like gibbsite, is composed of four parts: the distribution of isotropic shifts (delta(ISO), delta(QIS)), the homogeneous broadening related to the proton-proton flip-flop terms, the (27)Al-(27)Al homonulcear dipolar couplings, and the (1)H-(27)Al heteronuclear dipolar couplings. It is shown that, even in the case of gibbsite, where a strong proton-proton bath exists, the main resolution limiting factor in these experiments resides in the (1)H-(27)Al dipolar interaction.

Abstract
We present the transferred echo double-resonance multiple-quantum MAS (TEDOR-MQMAS) method that allows to analyze under high resolution the through-bond connectivities between spin-1/2 and quadrupolar nuclei. This method avoids some of the limitations related to the spin-lock of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei under MAS. However, the losses observed during the TEDOR transfer are related to the T'(2) constants, and they may thus be more important than those observed during the CP-MAS transfer, which are related to T(1rho) > T'(2).

Abstract
Niobiophosphate compounds with a large range of niobium and oxygen environments were studied with (93)Nb and (17)O solid-state NMR. (93)Nb isotropic chemical shift of pure niobate Nb(ONb)(6), pure phosphate Nb(OP)(6) and mixed phosphate-niobate Nb(OP)(x)(ONb)((6-x)) (1<or= x<or=5) sites were measured at a high magnetic field (18.8T). (93)Nb chemical shifts were found to be sensitive to the variation of local charge on Nb, but not to the local bond geometry (i.e. crystallographic site and edge or corner connectivity). A systematic shift to high field of the (93)Nb chemical shift is measured when x increases. Then, (17)O NMR spectra of a series of enriched samples provided the chemical shift and quadrupolar parameters for 4 types of oxygen environment (P-O-P, P-O-Na, P-O-Nb and Nb-O-Nb). Finally, Nb-O-Nb sites were characterized by a large (17)O chemical shift anisotropy.

Abstract
We here show the (43)Ca 5QMAS NMR spectra at high field (16.4 T) and the first 7QMAS spectrum at ultra-high field (21.8 T) for geologically important Ca-containing glasses. The high-resolution MQMAS spectra present a clear evidence of multiple Ca sites in the amorphous structures that have never been identified by other analytical methods. The present study suggests that the Ca(2+) ions are mainly in 7- and 8-fold coordination sites. This will offer valuable insights for dynamic properties of magmatic liquids. The MQMAS NMR technique at high magnetic field is a unique tool to understand the detailed structural information on a specific element in solids including organic and inorganic compounds.

Abstract
Several different amplitude-modulated two-dimensional high-resolution methods, based on MQMAS and STMAS, are compared. They include 3QMAS, 5QMAS, DQ-STMAS, and DQF-STMAS experiments. A new method, called t1-split-STMAS, is also proposed for spin-3/2 nuclei. The comparison is performed in terms of isotropic resolution and spectral-width, efficiency, and sensitivity to magic-angle offset and spinning speed fluctuations.

Abstract
NMR is an insensitive spectroscopy, which often requires numerous accumulations, especially for 2D high-resolution methods (MQMAS and STMAS) for quadrupolar nuclei in solids. This may be a very important limitation for the case of insensitive nuclei, where a 1D spectrum with better resolution than the central-transition is then highly desirable. This problem has been addressed for the case of spin-5/2 nuclei by the Double-Quantum Filtered Satellite Transition Spectroscopy: DQF-SATRAS-ST(1). We extend this concept to the spin-9/2 nuclei with the SATRAS-ST(2) method. This method allows the observation of 1D spectra with a much better resolution than that observed in the isotropic projection of 2D MQ/ST(1)-MAS spectra. This enhanced resolution results from the much smaller homogeneous broadening that occurs on the SATRAS-ST(2) method as compared to MQ/ST(1)-MAS spectra. The main interest in this method is for well-crystallized samples.

Abstract
Multiple-quantum magic angle spinning (MQMAS) and satellite-transition magic angle spinning (STMAS) are two well-known techniques for obtaining high-resolution, or "isotropic", NMR spectra of quadrupolar nuclei. It has recently been shown that dynamics-driven modulation of the quadrupolar interaction on the microsecond timescale results in linewidths in isotropic STMAS spectra that are strongly broadened, while, in contrast, the isotropic MQMAS linewidths remain narrow. Here, we use this novel methodology in an 27Al (I = 5/2) NMR study of the calcined-dehydrated aluminophosphate AlPO-14 and two forms of as-synthesized AlPO-14, one prepared with isopropylamine (C3H7NH2) as the template molecule and one with piperidine (C5H10NH). For completeness, the 31P and 13C (both I = 1/2) MAS NMR spectra are also presented. A comparison of the 27Al MQMAS and STMAS NMR results show that, although calcined AlPO-14 appears to have a rigid framework structure, the extent of motion in the two as-synthesized forms is significant, with clear evidence for dynamics on the microsecond timescale in the immediate environments of all four Al sites in each material. Variable-temperature 27Al STMAS NMR studies of the two as-synthesized AlPO forms reveal the dynamics to be complex, with the motions of both the guest water molecules and organic template molecules shown to be contributing. The sensitivity of the STMAS NMR experiment to the presence of microsecond timescale dynamics is such that it seems likely that this methodology will prove useful in NMR studies of host-guest interactions in a wide variety of framework materials.

Abstract
The question of the homogeneous broadening that occurs in 2D solid-state NMR experiments is examined. This homogeneous broadening is mathematically introduced in a simple way, versus the irreversible decay rates related to the coherences that are involved during t1 and t2. We give the pulse sequences and coherence transfer pathways that are used to measure these decay rates. On AlPO4 berlinite, we have measured the 27Al echo-type relaxation times of the central and satellite transitions on 1Q levels, so that of coherences that are situated on 2Q, 3Q, and 5Q levels. We compare the broadenings that can be deduced from these relaxation times to those directly observed on the isotropic projection of berlinite with multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning (MAS), or satellite-transition MAS. We show that the choice of the high-resolution method, should be done according to the spin value and the corresponding homogeneous broadening.
