Abstract

We introduce an improved variant of the C7 pulse-sequence for efficient recoupling of spin-1/2 pair dipolar interactions in magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The tolerance of C7 toward isotropic as well as anisotropic chemical shift offsets and rf inhomogeneity is improved considerably by replacing the original basic element Cφ44̄=(2π)φ(2π)φ+π with the cyclically permuted element Cφ14̄3=(π/2)φ(2π)φ+π(3π/2)φ. The improved performance of this permutationally offset stabilized variant of C7 is analyzed by average Hamiltonian theory to fifth order, numerical simulations, and demonstrated by experiments on powder samples of doubly 13C-labeled barium oxalate hemihydrate and diammonium fumarate.
