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, <em>in situ</em> 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.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20740,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy","volume":"140 ","pages":"Pages 1-41"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0079656523000237/pdfft?md5=30fe7d3a5de7e5c58cd892828ac7c957&pid=1-s2.0-S0079656523000237-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138437332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article examines the factors that limit spatial resolution in MRI, especially the inherently low signal-to-noise ratio of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and explains how these limiting factors can be overcome in principle, by acquiring MRI data at low temperatures and using dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) to enhance signal amplitudes. Recent efforts directed at micron-scale MRI enabled by low-temperature DNP, culminating in images with 1.7 μm isotropic resolution obtained at 5 K, are reviewed.

It attempts to cover the broad scope of metabolomics and describes the NMR experiments that are most suitable for each sample type. It is addressed not only to NMR specialists, but to all researchers who wish to approach metabolomics with a clear idea of what they wish to achieve but not necessarily with a deep knowledge of NMR. For this reason, some technical parts may seem a bit naïve to the experts. The review starts by describing standard metabolomics procedures, which imply the use of a dedicated 600 MHz instrument and of four properly standardized 1D experiments. Standardization is a must if one wants to directly compare NMR results obtained in different labs. A brief mention is also made of standardized pre-analytical procedures, which are even more essential. Attention is paid to the distinction between fingerprinting and profiling, and the advantages and disadvantages of fingerprinting are clarified. This aspect is often not fully appreciated. Then profiling, and the associated problems of signal assignment and quantitation, are discussed. We also describe less conventional approaches, such as the use of different magnetic fields, the use of signal enhancement techniques to increase sensitivity, and the potential of field-shuttling NMR. A few examples of biomedical applications are also given, again with the focus on NMR techniques that are most suitable to achieve each particular goal, including a description of the most common heteronuclear experiments.

Progress in theoretical understanding, instrumentation, and sample formulation expanded the range of materials applications and research questions that can benefit from MAS DNP. Currently the most common approach for hyperpolarization under MAS consists in impregnating the sample of interest with a solution containing nitroxide radicals, which upon microwave irradiation serve as exogenous polarizing agents. On the other hand, in metal ion based (MI)-DNP, inorganic materials are doped with paramagnetic metal centres, which then can be used as endogenous polarizing agents. In this work we give an overview of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) concepts required to characterize the metal ions and discuss the expected changes in the NMR response due to the presence of paramagnetic species. We highlight which properties of the electron spins are beneficial for applications as polarizing agents in DNP and how to recognize them, both from the EPR and NMR data. A theoretical description of the main DNP mechanisms is given, employing a quantum mechanical formalism, and these concepts are used to explain the spin dynamics observed in the DNP experiment. In addition, we highlight the main differences between MI-DNP and the more common approaches in MAS DNP, which use organic radicals as exogenous polarizing source. Finally, we review some applications of metal ions as polarizing agents in general and then focus particularly on research questions in materials science that can benefit from MI-DNP.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20740,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy","volume":"138 ","pages":"Pages 70-104"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48724745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a major part of this review will describe in detail the implementation, testing and optimization of shaped pulses in existing EPR spectrometers.

The interaction strengths depend <em>inter alia</em> on the number of consecutive chemical bonds intervening between the two interacting spins and on the molecular conformation. The pairwise interaction of many spins in a molecule resulting in a complex spectrum poses a severe challenge to analyse the spectrum and hence the determination of magnitudes and signs of homo- and heteronuclear couplings. The problem is more severe in the analysis of ¹H spectra than the spectra of most of the other nuclei due to the often very small chemical shift dispersion. As a consequence, the straightforward analysis and the accurate extraction of the coupling constants from the ¹H spectrum of a complex spin system continues to remain a challenge, and often may be a formidable task. Over the years, the several pure shift-based one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional methodologies have been developed by workers in the field, which provide broadband homonuclear decoupling of proton spectra, removing the complexity but at the cost of the very informative scalar couplings. To circumvent this problem, several one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional NMR experiments have been developed for the determination of homonuclear and heteronuclear couplings (<em>ⁿJ</em>_HX, where <em>n</em> = 1,2,3) while retaining the high resolution obtained by implementing pure shift strategies.
