Abstract
In solid-state NMR magic angle spinning is often used to remove line broadening associated with anisotropic interactions, such as chemical shift anisotropy and dipolar couplings. Dipolar recoupling refers to sequences of pulses designed to reintroduce dipolar interactions that are otherwise averaged by magic angle spinning. One of the key applications of homonuclear (and heteronuclear) dipolar recoupling is for the purpose of protein structure determination. Recoupling experiments, originally designed for applications in spin-pair labeled samples, have been revised in recent years for applications in samples with extensive or uniform incorporation of isotopic labels. In these samples multiple internuclear distances can in principle be probed simultaneously, but the dipolar truncation effects (i.e. attenuation of the effects of weak couplings by strong ones) circumvent such measurements. In this article we review some of the recent developments in homonuclear recoupling methods that allow overcoming this problem.

Abstract
We describe a new technique for double-quantum excitation in magic-angle-spinning NMR of powdered solids. The technique is designed to efficiently excite double-quantum coherence in the vicinity of a rotational resonance condition. The offset from rotational resonance allows the double-quantum filtered signals to be observed with high resolution and sensitivity. The method uses rotational excitation of zero-quantum coherence, assisted by radiofrequency pulse cycles. The zero-quantum coherence is converted into double-quantum coherence by a frequency-selective inversion sequence. Experiments on [(13)C(2), (15)N]-glycine demonstrate a double-quantum filtering efficiency of approximately 41% at a sample rotation frequency of 8.300 kHz, which is 1.600 kHz away from the n = 1 rotational resonance. We achieve 32% double-quantum filtering efficiency at a spinning frequency of 9.250 kHz, which is 2.550 kHz away from rotational resonance.

Abstract
A recent analysis of rotational resonance lineshapes (M. Helmle et al., J. Magn. Reson. 140, 379-403, 1999) predicted the existence of coherence transfer signals, which are generated by mechanically induced coherence transfer during the detection process. These signals correspond to the generation of observable coherences at spin sites that have no magnetization at the beginning of the observation interval but which acquire coherence while the detection is underway. The coherence transfer signals disappear for powder samples in conventional magic-angle-spinning solid-state NMR experiments. In this Communication, we report the successful detection of coherence transfer signals in rotor-synchronized experiments performed on a single crystal of [1,2-(13)C(2)]glycine.

Abstract
We present a new technique for double-quantum excitation in magic-angle-spinning solid-state NMR. The method involves (i) preparation of nonequilibrium longitudinal magnetization; (ii) mechanical excitation of zero-quantum coherence by spinning the sample at rotational resonance, and (iii) phase-coherent conversion of the zero-quantum coherence into double-quantum coherence by frequency-selective spin inversion. The double-quantum coherence is converted into observable magnetization by reversing the excitation process, followed by a pi/2 pulse. The method is technically simple, does not require strong RF fields, and is feasible at high spinning frequencies. In [(13)C(2),(15)N]-glycine, with an internuclear (13)C-(13)C distance of 0.153 nm, we achieve a double-quantum filtering efficiency of approximately 56%. In [11, 20-(13)C(2)]-all-E-retinal, with an internuclear (13)C-(13)C distance of 0.296 nm, we obtain approximately 45% double-quantum filtering efficiency.

Abstract
Homonuclear dipolar-mediated coherence transfer (DCT), a through-space transfer of magnetization between like spins, can yield otherwise difficult-to-obtain structural information for macromolecules by measuring the internuclear distances between two sites of interest. The behavior of a spin-12 system under DCT is analyzed in detail by computing the time development of the density matrix using the product operator formalism. The effect of coherence transfer (CT) via the homonuclear isotropic scalar coupling on DCT is examined. Analytical and computational results that yield useful information on the frequencies, first-maxima, and first-zero of CT for a uniaxially oriented or a single-crystal solid-state system are presented. The results predict that the evolution of the spin angular momentum operators under the homonuclear dipolar coupling Hamiltonian leads to "cylindrical mixing" unlike "isotropic mixing" due to the strong scalar coupling Hamiltonian. These results will find relevance in both the design of RF pulse sequences for the structural studies of uniaxially oriented biological solids and the interpretation of solution NMR results from proteins embedded in partially oriented bicelles.

Abstract
Magic-angle spinning NMR spectra of samples containing dilute spin-1/2 pairs display broadenings or splittings when a rotational resonance condition is satisfied, meaning that a small integer multiple of the spinning frequency matches the difference in the two isotropic shift frequencies. We show experimental rotational resonance NMR spectra of a 13C2-labeled retinal which are in qualitative disagreement with existing theory. We propose an explanation of these anomalous rotational spectra involving residual heteronuclear couplings between the 13C nuclei and the neighboring 1H nuclei. These couplings strongly influence the rotational resonance 13C spectrum, despite the presence of a strong radiofrequency decoupling field at the 1H Larmor frequency. We model the residual heteronuclear couplings by differential transverse relaxation of the 13C single-quantum coherences. We present a superoperator theory of the phenomenon and describe a numerical algorithm for rapid Liouville space simulations in periodic systems. Good agreement with experimental results is obtained by using a biexponential transverse relaxation model for each spin site.

Abstract
Possibilities and limitations of iterative lineshape fitting procedures of MAS NMR spectra of isolated homonuclear spin pairs, aiming at determination of magnitudes and orientations of the various interaction tensors, are explored. Requirements regarding experimental MAS NMR spectra as well as simulation and fitting procedures are discussed. Our examples chosen are the isolated 31P spin pairs in solid Na4P2O7. 10H2O, (1), and Cd(NO3)2. 2PPh3, (2). In both cases the two 31P chemical shielding tensors in the molecular unit are related by C2 symmetry, and determination of the orientations of these two tensors in the molecular frame is possible. In addition, aspects of homonuclear J coupling will be addressed. For 1, both magnitude and sign of 2Jiso(31P, 31P) (Jiso = -19.5 +/- 2.5 Hz) are obtained; for 2, (Jiso = +139 +/- 3 Hz) anisotropy of J with an orientation of the J-coupling tensor collinear, or nearly collinear, with the dipolar coupling tensor can be excluded, while absence or presence of anisotropy of J with any other relative orientation of the J-coupling tensor cannot be determined.
