1H Homonuclear dipolar decoupling using symmetry-based pulse sequences at ultra fast magic-angle spinning frequencies

Abstract

We demonstrate here the application of symmetry-based pulse sequences for homonuclear dipolar decoupling in solid-state NMR at magic-angle spinning (MAS) frequencies up to 65 kHz using moderate radiofrequency (RF) amplitudes. Theoretical arguments favouring the requirement of low RF amplitudes at high MAS frequencies are given for these sequences. A comparison with w PMLG mm x x ¯ is given at 65 kHz of MAS frequency to emphasise that the symmetry-based pulse sequences have a lower RF amplitude requirement at high MAS frequencies.
