We demonstrate that supercycles of previously introduced two-fold symmetry dipolar recoupling schemes may be utilized successfully in homonuclear correlation nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy for probing proximities among half-integer spin quadrupolar nuclei in network materials undergoing magic-angle-spinning (MAS). These (SR2 2 1 ) M , (SR2 4 1 ) M , and (SR2 8 1 )M recoupling sequences with M = 3 and M = 4 offer comparably efficient magnetization transfers in single-quantum–single-quantum (1Q–1Q) correlation NMR experiments under moderately fast MAS conditions, as demonstrated at 14.1 T and 24 kHz MAS in the contexts of 11 B NMR on a Na 2 O–CaO–B 2 O 3 –SiO 2 glass and 27 Al NMR on the open framework aluminophosphate AlPO-CJ19 [(NH 4 ) 2 Al 4 (PO 4 ) 4 HPO 4 · H 2 O]. Numerically simulated magnetization transfers in spin–3/2 pairs revealed a progressively enhanced tolerance to resonance offsets and rf-amplitude errors of the recoupling pulses along the series (SR2 2 1 ) M < (SR2 4 1 ) M < (SR2 8 1 )M for increasing differences in chemical shifts between the two nuclei. Nonetheless, for scenarios of a relatively minor chemical-shift dispersions ( ≲ 3 kHz), the (SR2 2 1 )M supercycles perform best both experimentally and in simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
