Here, we demonstrate that this sequence, called T-HMQC (T stands for TRAPDOR), can be applied to probe proximities between distinct half-integer spin quadrupolar isotopes. We introduce two novel variants of this sequence to reduce the number of resonances along the indirect dimension. These selective variants employ either (i) an echo-antiecho quadrature detection to only retain the single-quantum (1Q) coherences or (ii) two π-pulses selective of the central-transition (CT) to observe only the 1Q-CT coherences.

We demonstrate that the two TRAPDOR pulses in the T-HMQC sequence must be separated by an integer number of rotor periods and must employ the maximum rf field strength compatible with the probe specifications. Furthermore, as the TRAPDOR pulses distribute the populations equally to all possible coherences, the sensitivity of the T-HMQC selective variants is lower than that of the D-HMQC techniques. To limit this sensitivity decrease and the number of cross-peaks, it is preferable to detect indirectly the quadrupolar nucleus <em>I</em> with the lowest spin number, and in the case of <em>I</em> = 3/2, the resolution along the indirect dimension can be enhanced with respect to a MAS spectrum (for instance, by a factor of 27/7, without taking into account the quadrupolar-induced shift (QIS), through the sole indirect detection of triple-quantum (3Q) coherences). Moreover, owing to the use of a high-power TRAPDOR recoupling, the T-HMQC technique benefits from a wider excitation bandwidth than the D-HMQC methods, which is advantageous for broad NMR spectra, especially at high magnetic fields.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":21937,"journal":{"name":"Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance","volume":"140 ","pages":"Article 102044"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145259306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
