Multiple Interactions

• In case of multiple interactions first transform all tensors into common frame (usually called molecular- or crystallite-fixed frame)

• Powder samples: rotate each crystallite into lab frame(for numerical simulations of NMR spectra trick is to accurately describe an infinite ensemble of crystallites with min. # of angles)

• Rotary resonance recoupling (R3) arises from the interference of MAS and I-spin RF (when ω1 = ωr or 2ωr)

• Additional (much weaker) resonances (n = 3,4,…) are also possible due to higher order average Hamiltonian terms involving the I-spin CSA

• R3 also recouples 15N CSA, which doesn’t commute with dipolar term

• Dipolar dephasing depends on CSA magnitude and orientation: problem for q antitati e distance meas rementsproblem for quantitative distance measurements

Eff ti H ilt i h i f ti f iti f• Effective Hamiltonian changes sign as a function of position ofpulses within the rotor cycle (must be careful about this in some implementations of REDOR)

REDOR: Typical Implementation

• Rotor synchronized spin-echo on 13C channel refocuses 13C isotropic chemical shift and CSA evolution

• Recoupled 15N CSA commutes with 13C-15N DD coupling!

• 2nd group of pulses shifted by -τr/2 relative to 1st group to change sign of H and avoid refocusing the 13C-15N dipolar couplingchange sign of HD and avoid refocusing the C- N dipolar coupling

• xy-type phase cycling of 15N pulses is critical (Gullion, JMR 1990)
