Abstract

Anomalous line-broadenings of carbon resonances close to 19F have commonly been reported in the 13C NMR of liquid crystals and solids. We have previously shown that these effects in static liquid-crystal samples are related to the difficulty of 1H decoupling in the presence of strong 1H– 19F dipolar interactions. We here extend this work to spinning samples (both liquid crystals and solids). A number of different line-broadening mechanisms are elucidated: analogous decoupling effects, magic angle misset, and 19F lifetime-broadening. In relatively mobile systems, such as liquid crystals or soft solids, the limiting factor on 13C resolution (and the ability to directly quantify the 13C– 19F interactions) is found to be the efficiency and robustness of the 1H-decoupling. In rigid solids, the lifetime of the 19F spin-states is found to be an additional critical factor.
