Abstract
We investigate the effects of insufficient 31P pulse amplitudes on 13C-detected 31P13C Rotational-Echo Double-Resonance (REDOR) measurements in a 17.5 T magnetic field. Experimental REDOR data on two compounds show that normalized REDOR difference signals are suppressed when the amplitudes of 31P π pulse trains are not very large compared with the 31P chemical shift anisotropies. This behavior is explained theoretically by an analysis of the effects of imperfections in π pulse rotations due to the orientation-dependent and time-dependent resonance offsets under magic-angle spinning in REDOR measurements. We show that effects of the same pulse imperfections can be observed directly by measurements of an effective relaxation time for longitudinal 31P spin polarization under identical π pulse trains.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Magnetic Resonance presents original technical and scientific papers in all aspects of magnetic resonance, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) of solids and liquids, electron spin/paramagnetic resonance (EPR), in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS), nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and magnetic resonance phenomena at nearly zero fields or in combination with optics. The Journal''s main aims include deepening the physical principles underlying all these spectroscopies, publishing significant theoretical and experimental results leading to spectral and spatial progress in these areas, and opening new MR-based applications in chemistry, biology and medicine. The Journal also seeks descriptions of novel apparatuses, new experimental protocols, and new procedures of data analysis and interpretation - including computational and quantum-mechanical methods - capable of advancing MR spectroscopy and imaging.
