The spectral resolution of NMR increases proportionally with the magnetic field strength (B0). Higher magnetic fields of NMR increase the separation between different resonant frequencies of nuclei, leading to better spectral resolution. Besides spectral resolution, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is proportional to the magnetic field strength raised to the power of three-halves. Advancements in probe technology over the past few decades have led to the widespread adoption of probeheads equipped with coils and preamplifiers that are cryogenically cooled by cold helium or nitrogen. This significantly reduces system noise, thereby improving SNR in detection. A series of typical applications of high-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in chemical research has been introduced. By utilizing the broadband direct observe cryoprobe (DOCP), a wide range of nuclei can be detected with high sensitivity, enabling the efficient characterization of numerous chemical systems at natural abundance, without the need for time-consuming and costly isotope labeling processes.

Multinuclear (<sup>1</sup>H, <sup>2</sup>H, and <sup>14</sup>N) solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectroscopy has traditionally been utilized to study the motion of methylammonium (MA) cations in methylammonium lead (II) halides MAPbX<sub>3</sub> (X = I, Br, Cl).

Due to its low sensitivity, <sup>13</sup>C NMR is rarely used to assess MA dynamics in these perovskites. Herein, we adopte variable-temperature (VT) <sup>13</sup>C MAS NMR at very high resolution and dipolar-coupled transverse relaxation analysis as a new tool for dynamical characterization without isotopic enrichment, and systematically investigated MA dynamics in MAPbX<sub>3</sub> across phase transitions. This new approach enables retrieval of activation energy of MA reorientation and assessment of motion regimes. We propose a generalized “Camel model” that describes the common trend of cation dynamics for MAPbX<sub>3</sub>, suggesting possible complicated reorientation modes. Furthermore, we discover the evolution of multiple MA sites in orthorhombic MAPbCl<sub>3</sub>, consistent with X-ray crystallography, demonstrating its unique advantage in resolving and characterizing multi-cation dynamics.

To demonstrate the possibility of combining UF 2D NMR with ODNP for process monitoring applications, experiments were carried out at different flow conditions. Our results show that ODNP at least compensated for the losses in sensitivity of UF 2D NMR that are normally induced by high flow velocities. Moreover, under certain flow conditions, ODNP brings additional sensitivity to UF 2D NMR spectra, with SNR increased by a factor of >3 compared to thermal equilibrium acquisitions.

This study explores the influence of supported metal nanoparticle proximity on butadiene hydrogenation using parahydrogen-induced polarization NMR spectroscopy. A sol-immobilization method was employed to systematically control the spacing between PdAu nanoparticles on Pd-Au/TiO<sub>2</sub> catalysts, while preserving their overall physicochemical properties. Experimental results demonstrate that denser PdAu nanoparticle arrangements lead to enhanced catalytic activity. This improved activity is coupled with accelerated isomerization of the semi-hydrogenated butene and over-hydrogenation to butane, facilitated by enhanced butene adsorption and subsequent conversion. Furthermore, increasing the hydrogen content significantly boosts butadiene conversion and butane formation, while having a less impact on butene isomerization. The addition of an inert support material, altering the spatial distribution of catalyst particles, positively affects both catalytic activity and butene selectivity. These findings highlight the critical role of nanoparticle proximity in controlling reaction pathways in butadiene hydrogenation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":365,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnetic Resonance Open","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100192"},"PeriodicalIF":2.624,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143577291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
