A H anisotropic-isotropic chemical shift correlation experiment which employs symmetry-based recoupling sequences to reintroduce the chemical shift anisotropy in ν and ultrafast MAS to resolve H sites in ν is described. This experiment is used to measure H shift parameters for L-ascorbic acid, a compound with a relatively complex hydrogen-bonding network in the solid. The H CSAs of hydrogen-bonded sites with resolved isotropic shifts can be extracted directly from the recoupled lineshapes. In combination with DFT calculations, hydrogen positions in crystal structures obtained from X-ray and neutron diffraction are refined by comparison with simulations of the full two-dimensional NMR spectrum. The improved resolution afforded by the second dimension allows even unresolved hydrogen-bonded sites H to be assigned and their shift parameters to be obtained.

In solid-state NMR, dipolar-based heteronuclear polarization transfer has been extensively used for sensitivity enhancement and multidimensional correlations, but its efficiency often suffers from undesired spin interactions and hardware limitations. Herein, we propose a novel dipolar-echo edited R-symmetry (DEER) sequence, which is further incorporated into the INEPT-type scheme, dubbed DEER-INEPT, for achieving highly efficient heteronuclear polarization transfer. Numerical simulations and NMR experiments demonstrate that DEER-INEPT offers significantly improved robustness, enabling efficient polarization transfer under a wide range of MAS conditions, from slow to ultrafast rates, outperforming existing methods.

Ultra-fast magic-angle spinning (100+kHz) has revolutionized solid-state NMR of biomolecular systems but has so far failed to gain ground for the analysis of paramagnetic organic and inorganic powders, despite the potential rewards from substantially improved spectral resolution. The principal blockages are that the smaller fast-spinning rotors present significant barriers for sample preparation, particularly for air/moisture-sensitive systems, and are associated with low sensitivity from the reduced sample volumes. Here, we demonstrate that the sensitivity penalty is less severe than expected for highly paramagnetic solids and is more than offset by the associated improved resolution.

The recent development of ultra-fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) (>100 kHz) provides new opportunities for structural characterization in solids. Here, we use NMR crystallography to validate the structure of verinurad, a microcrystalline active pharmaceutical ingredient. To do this, we take advantage of H resolution improvement at ultra-fast MAS and use solely H-detected experiments and machine learning methods to assign all the experimental proton and carbon chemical shifts.

The development of magic angle spinning (MAS) at rates ranging from 30 kHz to greater than 100 kHz has substantially advanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) spectroscopy H-detection methods. The small rotors required for such MAS rates have a limited sample volume and low C-detection sensitivity, rendering the traditional set of standard compounds for SSNMR insufficient or highly inconvenient for shimming and magic-angle calibration. Additionally, the reproducibility of magic angle setting, chemical shift referencing, and probe position can be especially critical for SSNMR experiments at high fields.
