Abstract

AbstractExperimental and theoretical aspects of multiple quantum (MQ) NMR coherence phenomena for paramagnetically coupled nuclei are presented. The spin interactions responsible for MQ NMR coherences observed in pulsed EPR and pulsed ENDOR (Electron Nuclear Double Resonance) are contrasted with those responsible for MQ coherences in pulsed NMR spectroscopy. MQ NMR coherences in pulsed ENDOR spectroscopy are demonstrated experimentally and described using an operator formalism approach. Detailed discussions of the phase incrementation technique for detecting MQ NMR coherences in ENDOR spectroscopy, different microwave excitation schemes for the preparation of nuclear spin order, off‐resonance excitation, and the evolution of MQ coherences under free precession are presented. Experimental results on a single crystal of irradiated malonic acid and on the conjugated polyene polymer poly acetylene are presented.
