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 wPMLGmmxx¯ 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.

In this work, we have proposed a proton-detected three-dimensional (3D) N-H dipolar coupling (DIP)/H chemical shift anisotropy (CSA)/H chemical shift (CS) correlation experiment to measure the relative orientation between the N-H dipolar coupling and the H CSA tensors under fast magic angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR. In the 3D correlation experiment, the N-H dipolar coupling and H CSA tensors are recoupled using our recently developed windowless C-symmetry-based C3-ROCSA (recoupling of chemical shift anisotropy) DIPSHIFT and C3-ROCSA pulse-based methods, respectively. The 2D N-H DIP/H CSA powder lineshapes extracted using the proposed 3D correlation method are shown to be sensitive to the sign and asymmetry of the H CSA tensor, a feature that allows the determination of the relative orientation between the two correlating tensors with improved accuracy.

Chemical shift tensors (CSTs) are sensitive probes of structure and dynamics. R-symmetry pulse sequences (RNCSA) can efficiently recouple CSTs of varying magnitudes in magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR experiments, for a broad range of conditions and MAS frequencies. Herein, we introduce dual-channel R-symmetry pulse sequences for simultaneously recording CSTs of two different nuclei in a single experiment (DORNE-CSA).

H-N internuclear distances are readily and accurately measured using the symmetry-based phase-modulated resonance-echo saturation-pulse double-resonance (PM-S-RESPDOR) method in rigid solids. The fraction curve, (S - S')/S, is represented by a single variable of a H-N heteronuclear dipolar coupling, where S and S' are the PM-S-RESPDOR signal intensity with and without N PM saturation pulse, respectively. Analytical equation of the fraction curve easily provides H-N couplings.

Coupled pairs of spin-1/2 nuclei support one singlet state and three triplet states. In many circumstances, the nuclear singlet order, defined as the difference between the singlet population and the mean of the triplet populations, is a long-lived state that persists for a relatively long time in solution. Various methods have been proposed for generating singlet order, starting from nuclear magnetization.

H{X} symmetry-based rotational echo double resonance pulse sequences (S-REDOR) and symmetry-based rotational echo saturation pulse double resonance (S-RESPDOR) solid-state NMR experiments have found widespread application for H detected measurements of difference NMR spectra, dipolar coupling constants, and internuclear distances under conditions of fast magic angle spinning (MAS). In these experiments the supercycled R4 (SR4) symmetry-based recoupling pulse sequence is typically applied to the H spins to reintroduce heteronuclear dipolar couplings. However, the timing of SR4 and other symmetry-based pulse sequences must be precisely synchronized with the rotation of the sample, otherwise, the evolution of H CSA and other interactions will not be properly refocused.
