Abstract
Oxalate ligands are found in many classes of materials, including energy storage materials and biominerals. Determining their local environments at the atomic scale is thus paramount to establishing the structure and properties of numerous phases. Here, we show that high-resolution 17O solid-state NMR is a valuable asset for investigating the structure of crystalline oxalate systems. First, an efficient 17O-enrichment procedure of oxalate ligands is demonstrated using mechanochemistry. Then, 17O-enriched oxalates were used for the synthesis of the biologically relevant calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) phase, enabling the analysis of its structure and heat-induced phase transitions by high-resolution 17O NMR. Studies of the low-temperature COM form (LT-COM), using magnetic fields from 9.4 to 35.2 T, as well as 13C-17O MQ/D-RINEPT and 17O{1H} MQ/REDOR experiments, enabled the 8 inequivalent oxygen sites of the oxalates to be resolved, and tentatively assigned. The structural changes upon heat treatment of COM were also followed by high-resolution 17O NMR, providing new insight into the structures of the high-temperature form (HT-COM) and anhydrous calcium oxalate α-phase (α-COA), including the presence of structural disorder in the latter case. Overall, this work highlights the ease associated with 17O-enrichment of oxalate oxygens, and how it enables high-resolution solid-state NMR, for "NMR crystallography" investigations.

Abstract
Despite the limitations posed by poor sensitivity, studies have reported the unique advantages of 17O based NMR spectroscopy to study systems existing in liquid, solid, or semisolid states. 17O NMR studies have exploited the remarkable sensitivity of quadrupole coupling and chemical shift anisotropy tensors to the local environment in the characterization of a variety of intra- and intermolecular interactions and motion. Recent studies have considerably expanded the use of 17O NMR to study dynamic intermolecular interactions associated with some of the challenging biological systems under magic angle spinning (MAS) and aligned conditions. The very fast relaxing nature of 17O has been well utilized in cellular and in vivo MRS (magnetic resonance spectroscopy) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) applications. The main focus of this Review is to highlight the new developments in the biological solids with a detailed discussion for a few selected examples including membrane proteins and nanodiscs. In addition to the unique benefits and limitations, the remaining challenges to overcome, and the impacts of higher magnetic fields and sensitivity enhancement techniques are discussed.

Abstract
Replacement of sp2-hybridized carbon in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by boron affords electron-deficient π-scaffolds due to the vacant pz-orbital of three-coordinate boron with the potential for pronounced electronic interactions with electron-rich metal surfaces. Using a diboraperylene diborinic acid derivative as precursor and a controlled on-surface non-covalent synthesis approach, we report on a self-assembled chiral supramolecular kagome network on an Ag(111) surface stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions at low temperature. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) reveal a flat band at ca. 0.33 eV above the Fermi level which is localized at the molecule center, in good agreement with tight-binding model calculations of flat bands characteristic for kagome lattices.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy (ssNMR) can provide details about the structure, host-guest/guest-guest interactions and dynamic behavior of materials at atomic length scales. A crucial use of ssNMR is for the characterization of zeolite catalysts that are extensively employed in industrial catalytic processes. This review aims to spotlight the recent advancements in ssNMR spectroscopy and its application to zeolite chemistry. We first review the current ssNMR methods and techniques that are relevant to characterize zeolite catalysts, including advanced multinuclear and multidimensional experiments, in situ NMR techniques and hyperpolarization methods. Of these, the methodology development on half-integer quadrupolar nuclei is emphasized, which represent about two-thirds of stable NMR-active nuclei and are widely present in catalytic materials. Subsequently, we introduce the recent progress in understanding zeolite chemistry with the aid of these ssNMR methods and techniques, with a specific focus on the investigation of zeolite framework structures, zeolite crystallization mechanisms, surface active/acidic sites, host-guest/guest-guest interactions, and catalytic reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
Despite the extensive industrial and research interests in zeolites, their intrinsic catalytic nature is not fully understood due to the complexity of the hydroxyl-aluminum moieties. 17O NMR would provide irreplaceable opportunities for much-needed fine structural determination given the ubiquitous presence of oxygen atoms in nearly all species; however, the low sensitivity and quadrupolar nature of oxygen-17 make its NMR spectroscopic elucidation challenging. Here, we show that state-of-the-art double resonance solid-state NMR techniques have been combined with spectral editing methods based on scalar (through-bond) and dipolar (through-space) couplings, which allowed us to address the subtle protonic structures in zeolites. Notably, the often-neglected and undesired second-order quadrupolar-dipolar cross-term interaction ("2nd-QD interaction") can actually be exploited and can help gain invaluable information. Eventually, a comprehensive set of 1H-17O/1H-27Al double resonance NMR with J-/D-coupling spectral editing techniques have been designed in this work and enabled us to reveal atomic-scale precise structural and dynamical details in zeolites including: 1) The jump rate of the bridging acid site (BAS) proton is relatively low, i.e., far less than 100 s-1 at room temperature. 2) The Al-OH groups with 1H chemical shift at 2.6-2.8 ppm, at least for nonseverely dealuminated H-ZSM-5 catalysts, exhibit a rigid bridging environment similar to that of BAS. 3) The Si-OH groups at 2.0 ppm are not hydrogen bonded and undergo fast cone-rotational motion. The results in this study predict the 2nd-QD interaction to be universal for any rigid -17O-H environment, such as those in metal oxide surfaces or biomaterials.

Abstract
This study describes the discovery of a unique ionic cocrystal of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) ponatinib hydrochloride (pon·HCl), and characterization using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) and solid-state NMR (SSNMR) spectroscopy. Pon·HCl is a multicomponent crystal that features an unusual stoichiometry, with an asymmetric unit containing both monocations and dications of the ponatinib molecule, three water molecules, and three chloride ions. Structural features include (i) a charged imidazopyridazine moiety that forms a hydrogen bond between the ponatinib monocations and dications and (ii) a chloride ion that does not feature hydrogen bonds involving any organic moiety, instead being situated in a "square" arrangement with three water molecules. Multinuclear SSNMR, featuring high and ultra-high fields up to 35.2 T, provides the groundwork for structural interpretation of complex multicomponent crystals in the absence of diffraction data. A 13C CP/MAS spectrum confirms the presence of two crystallographically distinct ponatinib molecules, whereas 1D 1H and 2D 1H-1H DQ-SQ spectra identify and assign the unusually deshielded imidazopyridazine proton. 1D 35Cl spectra obtained at multiple fields confirm the presence of three distinct chloride ions, with density functional theory calculations providing key relationships between the SSNMR spectra and H⋯Cl- hydrogen bonding arrangements. A 2D 35Cl → 1H D-RINEPT spectrum confirms the spatial proximities between the chloride ions, water molecules, and amine moieties. This all suggests future application of multinuclear SSNMR at high and ultra-high fields to the study of complex API solid forms for which SCXRD data are unavailable, with potential application to heterogeneous mixtures or amorphous solid dispersions.

Abstract
The Zr-based Metal Organic Framework (MOF) UiO-66(Zr) is widely employed owing to its good thermal and chemical stabilities. Although the long-range structure of this MOF is preserved in the presence of water during several days, little is known about the formation of defects, which cannot be detected using diffraction techniques. We apply here 17 O solid-state NMR spectroscopy at 18.8 T to investigate the reactivity of UiO-66, through the exchange of oxygen atoms between the different sites of the MOF and water. For that purpose, we have selectively enriched in 17 O isotope the carboxylate groups of UiO-66(Zr) by using it with 17 O-labeled terephthalic acid prepared using mechanochemistry. In the presence of water at 50 °C and a following dehydration at 150 °C, we observe an overall exchange of O atoms between COO- and μ3 -O2- sites. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the three distinct oxygen sites, μ3 -OH, μ3 -O2- and COO- , of UiO-66(Zr) MOF can be enriched in 17 O isotope by post-synthetic hydrothermal treatment in the presence of 17 O-enriched water. These results demonstrate the lability of Zr-O bonds and the reactivity of UiO-66(Zr) with water.

Abstract
73% of all NMR-active nuclei are quadrupolar nuclei with a nuclear spin I > 1/2. The broadening of the solid-state NMR signals by the quadrupolar interaction often leads to poor sensitivity and low resolution. In this work we present experimental and theoretical investigations of magic angle spinning (MAS) 1H{X} double-echo resonance-echo saturation-pulse double-resonance (DE-RESPDOR) and Y{X} J-resolved solid-state NMR experiments for the indirect detection of spin 3/2 quadrupolar nuclei (X = spin 3/2 nuclei, Y = spin 1/2 nuclei). In these experiments, the spectrum of the quadrupolar nucleus is reconstructed by plotting the observed dephasing of the detected spin as a function of the transmitter offset of the indirectly detected spin. Numerical simulations were used to investigate the achievable levels of dephasing and to predict the lineshapes of indirectly detected NMR spectra of the quadrupolar nucleus. We demonstrate 1H, 31P and 207Pb detection of 35Cl, 81Br, and 63Cu (I = 3/2) nuclei in trans-Cl2Pt(NH3)2 (transplatin), (CH3NH3)PbCl3 (methylammonium lead chloride, MAPbCl3), (CH3NH3)PbBr3 (methylammonium lead bromide, MAPbBr3) and CH3C(CH2PPh2)3CuI (1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane copper(I) iodide, triphosCuI), respectively. In all of these experiments, we were able to detect megahertz wide central transition or satellite transition powder patterns. Significant time savings and gains in sensitivity were attained in several test cases. Additionally, the indirect detection experiments provide valuable structural information because they confirm the presence of dipolar or scalar couplings between the detected nucleus and the quadrupolar nucleus of interest. Finally, numerical simulations suggest these methods are also potentially applicable to abundant spin 5/2 and spin 7/2 quadrupolar nuclei.

Abstract
Aqueous-phase postsynthetic modifications of the industrially important Y-type zeolite are commonly used to change overall acid site concentrations, introduce stabilizing rare-earth cations, impart bifunctional character through metal cation exchange, and tailor the distribution of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites. Zeolite Y is known to undergo framework degradation in the presence of both vapor- and liquid-phase water at temperatures exceeding 100 °C, and rare-earth exchanged and stabilized HY catalysts are commonly used for fluidized catalytic cracking due to their increased hydrothermal resilience. Here, using detailed spectroscopy, crystallography, and flow-reactor experiments, we reveal unexpected decreases in Brønsted acid site (BAS) density for zeolite HY following exposure even to room-temperature liquid water. These data indicate that aqueous-phase ion-exchange procedures commonly used to modify zeolite Y are impacted by the liquid water and its removal, even when fractional heating rates and inert conditions much less severe than standard practice are used for catalyst dehydration. X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric, and spectroscopic analyses reveal that the majority of framework degradation occurs during the removal of a strongly bound water fraction in HY, which does not form when NH4Y is immersed in liquid water and which leads to reduced acidity in HY even when dehydration conditions much milder than those typically practiced are employed. Na+-exchanged HY prepared via room-temperature aqueous dissolution demonstrates that Brønsted acid sites are lost in excess of the theoretical maximum that is possible from sodium titration. The structural impact of low-temperature aqueous-phase ion-exchange methods complicates the interpretation of subsequent data and likely explains the wide variation in reported acid site concentrations and catalytic activity of HY zeolites with high-Al content.

Abstract
The past few decades have seen tremendous growth in the area of single-site heterogeneous catalysis, which aims to combine the best aspects of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, namely molecular-level site control and ease of separation/recycling. Despite this, we still do not have a means of assessing site homogeneity and whether the produced catalyst is indeed a "single-site". Recent developments have enabled the use of NMR-based distance measurements to determine the conformations and configurations of surface sites, leading to the question whether such measurements can be used to distinguish materials containing either single or multiple surface sites with otherwise indistinguishable NMR properties. We describe a Monte Carlo-based multi-structure search algorithm and its application to the determination of multi-site structures from supported metal complexes. The sensitivity of REDOR data to the existence of multiple sites is assessed using synthetic data and prior literature examples are revisited to determine whether the single-site approximation was indeed appropriate. We lastly apply this new methodology to differentiate the configurations of zirconocene complexes grafted onto alumina supports that were thermally treated at different temperatures.

Abstract
Competing models exist to explain the differences in the activity of zeolites and amorphous silica-aluminas. Some postulate that silica-alumina contains dilute zeolitic bridging acid sites, while others favor a pseudo-bridging silanol model. We employed a selective isotope labeling strategy to assess the existence of Si-O(H)-Al bonds using NMR-based distance measurements.

Abstract
Boron monoxide (BO), prepared by the thermal condensation of tetrahydroxydiboron, was first reported in 1955; however, its structure could not be determined. With the recent attention on boron-based two-dimensional materials, such as borophene and hexagonal boron nitride, there is renewed interest in BO. A large number of stable BO structures have been computationally identified, but none are supported by experiments. The consensus is that the material likely forms a boroxine-based two-dimensional material. Herein, we apply advanced 11B NMR experiments to determine the relative orientations of B(B)O2 centers in BO. We find that the material is composed of D2h-symmetric O2B-BO2 units that organize to form larger B4O2 rings. Further, powder diffraction experiments additionally reveal that these units organize to form two-dimensional layers with a random stacking pattern. This observation is in agreement with earlier density functional theory (DFT) studies that showed B4O2-based structures to be the most stable.

Abstract
Gamma alumina (γ-Al2O3) is widely used as a catalyst and catalytic support due to its high specific surface area and porosity. However, synthesis of γ-Al2O3 nanocrystals is often a complicated process requiring high temperatures or additional post-synthetic steps. Here, we report a single-step synthesis of size-controlled and monodisperse, facetted γ-Al2O3 nanocrystals in an inductively coupled nonthermal plasma reactor using trimethylaluminum and oxygen as precursors. Under optimized conditions, we observed phase-pure, cuboctahedral γ-Al2O3 nanocrystals with defined surface facets. Nuclear magnetic resonance studies revealed that nanocrystal surfaces are populated with AlO6, AlO5 and AlO4 units with clusters of hydroxyl groups. Nanocrystal size tuning was achieved by varying the total reactor pressure yielding particles as small as 3.5 nm, below the predicted thermodynamic stability limit for γ-Al2O3.

Abstract
As an atom-efficient strategy for the large-scale interconversion of olefins, heterogeneously catalysed olefin metathesis sees commercial applications in the petrochemical, polymer and speciality chemical industries1. Notably, the thermoneutral and highly selective cross-metathesis of ethylene and 2-butenes1 offers an appealing route for the on-purpose production of propylene to address the C3 shortfall caused by using shale gas as a feedstock in steam crackers2,3. However, key mechanistic details have remained ambiguous for decades, hindering process development and adversely affecting economic viability4 relative to other propylene production technologies2,5. Here, from rigorous kinetic measurements and spectroscopic studies of propylene metathesis over model and industrial WOx/SiO2 catalysts, we identify a hitherto unknown dynamic site renewal and decay cycle, mediated by proton transfers involving proximal Brønsted acidic OH groups, which operates concurrently with the classical Chauvin cycle. We show how this cycle can be manipulated using small quantities of promoter olefins to drastically increase steady-state propylene metathesis rates by up to 30-fold at 250 °C with negligible promoter consumption. The increase in activity and considerable reduction of operating temperature requirements were also observed on MoOx/SiO2 catalysts, showing that this strategy is possibly applicable to other reactions and can address major roadblocks associated with industrial metathesis processes.

Abstract
1H-detected 14N heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC) magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR experiments performed at fast magic-angle spinning (≥50 kHz) are finding increasing application, e.g., to pharmaceuticals. Of importance to the efficacy of these techniques is the recoupling technique applied to reintroduce the 1H-14N dipolar coupling. In this paper, we compare, by experiment and 2-spin density matrix simulations, two classes of recoupling scheme: first, those based on n = 2 rotary resonance, namely R3 and spin-polarisation inversion SPI-R3, and the symmetry based SR412 method and, second, the TRAPDOR method. Both classes require optimisation depending on the magnitude of the quadrupolar interaction, and thus there is a compromise choice for samples with more than one nitrogen site, as is the case for the studied dipeptide β-AspAla that contains two nitrogen sites with a small and large quadrupolar coupling constant. Considering this, we observe better sensitivity for the TRAPDOR method, though noting the marked sensitivity of TRAPDOR to the 14N transmitter offset, with both SPI-R3 and SR412 giving similar recoupling performance.

Abstract
The measurement of the of chemical shift (CS) tensors via solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy has proven to be a powerful probe of structure for organic molecules, biomolecules, and inorganic materials. However, when measuring the NMR spectra of heavy spin-1/2 isotopes the chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) is commonly on the order of thousands of parts per million, which makes acquisition of NMR spectra difficult due to the low NMR sensitivity imposed by the breadth of the signals and challenges in uniformly exciting the NMR spectrum. We have recently shown that complete 195Pt NMR spectra could be rapidly measured by using 195Pt saturation or excitation selective long pulses (SLP) with multiple rotor-cycle durations and RF fields less than 50 kHz into 1H{195Pt} or 1H-31P{195Pt} PE S-RESPDOR, TONE D-HMQC-4, J-resolved, and J-HMQC pulse sequences. The SLP only provide signal or dephasing when they are applied on resonance with a spinning sideband. The magic angle spinning 195Pt NMR spectrum is reconstructed in the sideband selective NMR experiments by acquiring 1D NMR spectra at variable 195Pt pulse offsets. In this work, we present a detailed investigation of the specific pulse conditions required for the ideal performance of sideband selective experiments. Sideband selective experiments are shown to be able to accurately reproduce MAS NMR spectra with minimal distortions of relative sideband intensities. It is also demonstrated that a 195Pt NMR spectrum indirectly detected with HMQC can be rapidly obtained by acquiring a single rotor cycle of indirect dimension evolution points. We dub this method One Rotor Cycle of Acquisition (ORCA) HMQC. Sideband selective experiments and ORCA HMQC experiments are shown to provide a one order of magnitude improvement in experiment times as compared to conventional wideline HMQC experiments.

Abstract
1H-14N 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, (S0 - S')/S0, is represented by a single variable of a 1H-14N heteronuclear dipolar coupling, where S0 and S' are the PM-S-RESPDOR signal intensity with and without 14N PM saturation pulse, respectively. Analytical equation of the fraction curve easily provides 1H-14N couplings. This treatment is only applicable when NH proton resonance is well separated from the other proton peaks. With the limited 1H resolution even at fast MAS > 60 kHz, unfortunately, this condition is not necessarily satisfied especially in multi-component systems which often appear in pharmaceutical applications. To overcome this problem, T-HMQC filtering is applied to suppress the 1H signals other than NH proton prior to the PM-S-RESPDOR experiments. The method is well demonstrated on two components acetaminophen-oxalic acid (APAP-OXA) systems. Further analysis of orientation dependence of T-HMQC and PM-S-RESPDOR shows that the analytical equation can be safely applied in the analysis of T-HMQC filtered PM-S-RESPDOR experiments.

Abstract
Rechargeable aluminum-organic batteries are composed of earth-abundant, sustainable electrode materials while the molecular structures of the organic molecules can be controlled to tune their electrochemical properties. Aluminum metal batteries typically use electrolytes based on chloroaluminate ionic liquids or deep eutectic solvents that are comprised of polyatomic aluminum-containing species. Quinone-based organic electrodes store charge when chloroaluminous cations (AlCl2+) charge compensate their electrochemically reduced carbonyl groups, even when such cations are not natively present in the electrolyte. However, how ion speciation in the electrolyte affects the ion charge storage mechanism, and resultant battery performance, is not well understood. Here, we couple solid-state NMR spectroscopy with electrochemical and computational methods to show for the first time that electrolyte-dependent ion speciation significantly alters the molecular-level environments of the charge-compensating cations, which in turn influences battery properties. Using 1,5-dichloroanthraquinone (DCQ) for the first time as an organic electrode material, we utilize solid-state dipolar-mediated and multiple-quantum NMR experiments to elucidate distinct aluminum coordination environments upon discharge that depend significantly on electrolyte speciation. We relate DFT-calculated NMR parameters to experimentally determined quantities, revealing insights into their origins. The results establish that electrolyte ion speciation impacts the local environments of charge-compensating chloroaluminous cations and is a crucial design parameter for rechargeable aluminum-quinone batteries.

Abstract
Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is one of the most commonly used techniques to study the atomic-resolution structure and dynamics of various chemical, biological, material, and pharmaceutical systems spanning multiple forms, including crystalline, liquid crystalline, fibrous, and amorphous states. Despite the unique advantages of solid-state NMR spectroscopy, its poor spectral resolution and sensitivity have severely limited the scope of this technique. Fortunately, the recent developments in probe technology that mechanically rotate the sample fast (100 kHz and above) to obtain "solution-like" NMR spectra of solids with higher resolution and sensitivity have opened numerous avenues for the development of novel NMR techniques and their applications to study a plethora of solids including globular and membrane-associated proteins, self-assembled protein aggregates such as amyloid fibers, RNA, viral assemblies, polymorphic pharmaceuticals, metal-organic framework, bone materials, and inorganic materials. While the ultrafast-MAS continues to be developed, the minute sample quantity and radio frequency requirements, shorter recycle delays enabling fast data acquisition, the feasibility of employing proton detection, enhancement in proton spectral resolution and polarization transfer efficiency, and high sensitivity per unit sample are some of the remarkable benefits of the ultrafast-MAS technology as demonstrated by the reported studies in the literature. Although the very low sample volume and very high RF power could be limitations for some of the systems, the advantages have spurred solid-state NMR investigation into increasingly complex biological and material systems. As ultrafast-MAS NMR techniques are increasingly used in multidisciplinary research areas, further development of instrumentation, probes, and advanced methods are pursued in parallel to overcome the limitations and challenges for widespread applications. This review article is focused on providing timely comprehensive coverage of the major developments on instrumentation, theory, techniques, applications, limitations, and future scope of ultrafast-MAS technology.

Abstract
Hydrogen bonding plays an important role in the structure and function of a wide range of materials. Solid-state 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy provides a very sensitive tool to investigate the local structure of hydrogen atoms involved in hydrogen bonding. While there is extensive 1H solid-state NMR data on O-H - - O hydrogen bonding in solid carboxylic acids, there has been no systematic 1H solid-state NMR studies of hydroxyl groups in carbohydrates (and hydroxyl groups in general). With a view to studying the hydrogen bonding in more complex materials such as cellulose polymorphs, we carried out a detailed solid-state 1H NMR investigation of the model compounds α-d-glucose and α-d-glucose monohydrate. Through a combination of fast magic-angle spinning (MAS), combined rotation and multiple pulse spectroscopy (CRAMPS), and two-dimensional (2D) correlation experiments carried out at ultrahigh magnetic fields, it was possible to assign all of the aliphatic (CH), hydroxyl (OH), and water (H2O) 1H chemical shifts in both forms of α-d-glucose. Plane-wave DFT calculations were employed to improve the hydrogen atom positions for α-d-glucose monohydrate and to calculate 1H chemical shifts, providing additional support for the experimentally determined peak assignments. Finally, the relationship between the hydroxyl 1H chemical shifts and their hydrogen bonding geometry was investigated and compared to the well-established relationship for carboxylic acid protons.

Abstract
Understanding the characteristics of crystal polymorphism of active pharmaceutical ingredients and analyzing them with high sensitivity is important for quality of drug products, appropriate characterization strategies, and appropriate screening and selection processes. However, there are few methods to measure intra- and intermolecular correlations in crystals other than X-ray crystallography, for which it is sometimes difficult to obtain suitable single crystals. Recently, solid-state NMR has been recognized as a straightforward method for measuring molecular correlations. In this study, we selected ranitidine hydrochloride, which is known to exist in two forms, 1 and 2, as the model drug and investigated each form using solid-state NMR. In conducting the analysis, rotating the sample tube, which had a 1-mm inner diameter, increased the solid-state NMR resolution at 70 kHz. The 1H-14N dipolar-based heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (D-HMQC) analysis revealed the intermolecular correlation of Form 1 between the N atom of the nitro group and a proton of the furan moiety, which were closer than those of the intramolecular correlation reported using single X-ray crystal analysis. Thus, 1H-14N D-HMQC analysis could be useful for characterizing intermolecular interaction in ranitidine hydrochloride crystals. In addition, we reassigned the 13C solid-state NMR signals of ranitidine hydrochloride according to the liquid-state and multiple solid-state NMR experiments.

Improved resolution for spin-3/2 isotopes in solids via the indirect NMR detection of triple-quantum coherences using the T-HMQC sequence. SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2022; 122:101835. [PMID: 36308816 DOI: 10.1016/j.ssnmr.2022.101835] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Revised: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The indirect NMR detection of quadrupolar nuclei in solids under magic-angle spinning (MAS) is possible with the through-space HMQC (heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence) scheme incorporating the TRAPDOR (transfer of population in double-resonance) dipolar recoupling. This sequence, called T-HMQC, exhibits limited t1-noise. In this contribution, with the help of numerical simulations of spin dynamics, we show that most of the time, the fastest coherence transfer in the T-HMQC scheme is achieved when TRAPDOR recoupling employs the highest radiofrequency (rf) field compatible with the probe specifications. We also demonstrate how the indirect detection of the triple-quantum (3Q) coherences of spin-3/2 quadrupolar nuclei in solids improves the spectral resolution for these isotopes. The sequence is then called T-HMQC3. We demonstrate the gain in resolution provided by this sequence for the indirect proton detection of 35Cl nuclei in l-histidine∙HCl and l-cysteine∙HCl, as well as that of 23Na isotope in NaH2PO4. These experiments indicate that the gain in resolution depends on the relative values of the chemical and quadrupolar-induced shifts (QIS) for the different spin-3/2 species. In the case of NaH2PO4, we show that the transfer efficiency of the T-HMQC3 sequence employing an rf-field of 80 kHz with a MAS frequency of 62.5 kHz reaches 75% of that of the t1-noise eliminated (TONE) dipolar-mediated HMQC (D-HMQC) scheme.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2022; 344:107310. [PMID: 36334491 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmr.2022.107310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 10/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/10/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Herein, we introduce supercycle of R-symmetry sequences (SR-sequences) and incomplete supercycle schemes of R-symmetry sequences (iSR-I- and iSR-II-sequences) to improve the robustness of PRESTO for heteronuclear polarization transfer in MAS NMR. The constructions of SR- and iSR-I/II- sequences are based on the different phase-inverted supercycles of R-symmetry sequences, and such supercycles can suppress the influence of CSA, resonance offset and RF mismatch when incorporated into the PRESTO method. Moreover, the SR- and iSR-II-sequences are more efficient in suppressing the interference of homonuclear dipolar coupling. The improved robustness of SR-, iSR-I- and iSR-II-PRESTO over the original R-PRESTO has been verified by numerical simulations and NMR experiments on NH4H2PO4 and gamma-alumina at fast MAS conditions. It is also important to note that the SR- and iSR-II-PRESTO can greatly lengthen the transverse relaxation times and lead to much higher polarization transfer efficiency compared to R-PRESTO, thanks to their superior tolerance to RF inhomogeneity and homonuclear dipolar coupling.

Abstract
Boron oxide/hydroxide supported on oxidized activated carbon (B/OAC) was shown to be an inexpensive catalyst for the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane that offers activity and selectivity comparable to boron nitride. Here, we obtain an atomistic picture of the boron oxide/hydroxide layer in B/OAC by using 35.2 T 11B and 17O solid-state NMR experiments. NMR spectra measured at 35.2 T resolve the boron and oxygen sites due to narrowing of the central-transition powder patterns. A 35.2 T 2D 11B{17O} dipolar heteronuclear correlation NMR spectrum revealed the structural connectivity between boron and oxygen atoms. The approach outlined here should be generally applicable to determine atomistic structures of heterogeneous catalysts containing quadrupolar nuclei.

Abstract
Current needs for extending zeolite catalysts beyond traditional gas-phase hydrocarbon chemistry demand detailed characterization of active site structures, distributions, and hydrothermal impacts. A broad suite of homonuclear and heteronuclear NMR correlation experiments on dehydrated H-ZSM-5 catalysts with isotopically enriched 17O frameworks reveals that at least two types of paired active sites exist, the amount of which depends on the population of fully framework-coordinated tetrahedral Al (Al(IV)-1) and partially framework-coordinated tetrahedral Al (Al(IV)-2) sites, both of which can be denoted as (SiO)4-n-Al(OH)n. The relative amounts of Al(IV)-1 and Al(IV)-2 sites, and subsequent pairing, cannot be inferred from the catalyst Si/Al ratio, but depend on synthetic and postsynthetic modifications. Correlation experiments demonstrate that, on average, acidic hydroxyl groups from Al(IV)-1/Al(IV)-2 pairs are closer to one another than those from Al(IV)-1/Al(IV)-1 pairs, as supported by computational DFT calculations. Through-bond and through-space polarization transfer experiments exploiting 17O nuclei reveal a number of different acidic hydroxyl groups in varying Si/Al catalysts, the relative amounts of which change following postsynthetic modifications. Using room-temperature isotopic exchange methods, it was determined that 17O was homogeneously incorporated into the zeolite framework, while 17O → 27Al polarization transfer experiments demonstrated that 17O incorporation does not occur for extra-framework AlnOm species. Data from samples exposed to controlled hydrolysis indicates that nearest neighbor Al pairs in the framework are more susceptible to hydrolytic attack. The data reported here suggest that Al(IV)-1/Al(IV)-2 paired sites are synergistic sites leading to increased reactivity in both low- and high-temperature reactions. No evidence was found for paired framework/nonframework sites.

Abstract
Due to their high gyromagnetic ratio, there is considerable interest in measuring distances and correlations involving protons, but such measurements are compounded by the simultaneous recoupling of chemical shift anisotropy (CSA). This secondary recoupling adds additional modulations to the signal intensities that ultimately lead to t1-noise and signal decay. Recently, Venkatesh et al. demonstrated that the addition of CSA refocusing periods during 1H-X dipolar recoupling led to sequences with far higher stability and performance. Herein, we describe a related effort and develop a symmetry-based recoupling sequence that continually refocuses the 1H CSA. This sequence shows superior performance to the regular and t1-noise eliminated D-HMQC sequences in the case of spin-1/2 nuclei and comparable performance to the later for half-integer quadrupoles.

Abstract
Analysis of short-to-intermediate range intermolecular interactions offers a great way of characterizing the solid-state organization of small molecules and materials. This can be achieved by two-dimensional (2D) homo- and heteronuclear correlation NMR spectroscopy, for example, by carrying out experiments at high magnetic fields in conjunction with fast magic-angle spinning (MAS) techniques. But, detecting 2D peaks for heteronuclear dipolar coupled spin pairs separated by greater than 3 Å is not always straightforward, particularly when low-gamma quadrupolar nuclei are involved. Here, we present a 2D correlation NMR experiment that combines the advantages of heteronuclear-multiple quantum coherence (HMQC) and proton-based spin-diffusion (SD) pulse sequences using radio-frequency-driven-recouping (RFDR) to probe inter and intramolecular 1H-X (X = 14N, 35Cl) interactions. This experiment can be used to acquire 2D 1H{X}-HMQC filtered 1H-1H correlation as well as 2D 1H-X HMQC spectra. Powder forms of dopamine·HCl and l-histidine·HCl·H2O are characterized at high fields (21.1 T and 18.8 T) with fast MAS (60 kHz) using the 2D HMQC-SD-RFDR approach. Solid-state NMR results are complemented with NMR crystallography analyses using the gauge-including projector augmented wave (GIPAW) approach. For histidine·HCl·H2O, 2D peaks associated with 14N-1H-1H and 35Cl-1H-1H distances of up to 4.4 and 3.9 Å have been detected. This is further corroborated by the observation of 2D peaks corresponding to 14N-1H-1H and 35Cl-1H-1H distances of up to 4.2 and 3.7 Å in dopamine·HCl, indicating the suitability of the HMQC-SD-RFDR experiments for detecting medium-range proximities in molecular solids.

Abstract
Oxygen is an integral component of proteins but remains sparsely studied because its only NMR active isotope, 17O, has low sensitivity, low resolution, and large quadrupolar couplings. These issues are addressed here with efficient isotopic labeling, high magnetic fields, fast sample spinning, and 1H detection in conjunction with multidimensional experiments to observe oxygen sites specific to each amino acid residue. Notably, cross-polarization at high sample spinning frequencies provides efficient 13C ↔ 17O polarization transfer. The use of 17O for initial polarization is found to provide better sensitivity per unit time compared to 1H. Sharp isotropic 17O peaks are obtained by using a low-power multiple-quantum sequence, which in turn allows extraction of quadrupolar parameters for each oxygen site. Finally, the potential to determine sequential assignments and long-range distance restraints is demonstrated by using 3D 1H/13C/17O experiments, suggesting that such methods can become an essential tool for biomolecular structure determination.

Abstract
Techniques that can characterize the molecular structures of dilute surface species are required to facilitate the rational synthesis and improvement of Pt-based heterogeneous catalysts. 195Pt solid-state NMR spectroscopy could be an ideal tool for this task because 195Pt isotropic chemical shifts and chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) are highly sensitive probes of the local chemical environment and electronic structure. However, the characterization of Pt surface-sites is complicated by the typical low Pt loadings that are between 0.2 and 5 wt% and broadening of 195Pt solid-state NMR spectra by CSA. Here, we introduce a set of solid-state NMR methods that exploit fast MAS and indirect detection using a sensitive spy nucleus (1H or 31P) to enable the rapid acquisition of 195Pt MAS NMR spectra. We demonstrate that high-resolution wideline 195Pt MAS NMR spectra can be acquired in minutes to a few hours for a series of molecular and single-site Pt species grafted on silica with Pt loading of only 3-5 wt%. Low-power, long-duration, sideband-selective excitation, and saturation pulses are incorporated into t1-noise eliminated dipolar heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence, perfect echo resonance echo saturation pulse double resonance, or J-resolved pulse sequences. The complete 195Pt MAS NMR spectrum is then reconstructed by recording a series of 1D NMR spectra where the offset of the 195Pt pulses is varied in increments of the MAS frequency. Analysis of the 195Pt MAS NMR spectra yields the 195Pt chemical shift tensor parameters. Zeroth order approximation density functional theory calculations accurately predict 195Pt CS tensor parameters. Simple and predictive orbital models relate the CS tensor parameters to the Pt electronic structure and coordination environment. The methodology developed here paves the way for the detailed structural and electronic analysis of dilute platinum surface-sites.

Abstract
The long-range heteronuclear correlation remains a significant challenge in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), which is critical in the structural elucidation of biomolecular, material, and pharmaceutical solids. We propose a selective NMR method, heteronuclear selective phase-optimized recoupling (hetSPR), to selectively enhance long-range correlations of interest by utilizing characteristic chemical shifts. Compared to conventional methods, hetSPR can selectively enhance desired heteronuclear correlations (e.g., 1H-13C and 1H-19F) by factors up to 5 and largely suppress the unwanted ones. The method proves useful by enhancing the long-range correlation from an intermolecular 1H-19F distance of 4.8 Å by a factor of 2.4 in a fluorinated pharmaceutical drug, bicalutamide, under fast magic-angle spinning. It does not use selective pulses and is thus user-friendly even for nonexperts. The new method is expected to boost solid-state NMR to elucidate the structures of various solids.

Abstract
Understanding how a ligand affects the steric and electronic properties of a metal is the cornerstone of the inorganic chemistry enterprise. What happens when the ligand is an extended surface? This question is central to the design and implementation of state-of-the-art functional materials containing transition metals. This perspective will describe how these two very different sets of extended surfaces can form well-defined coordination complexes with metals. In the Green formalism, functionalities on oxide surfaces react with inorganics to form species that contain X-type or LX-type interactions between the metal and the oxide. Carbon surfaces are neutral L-type ligands; this perspective focuses on carbons that donate six electrons to a metal. The nature of this interaction depends on the curvature, and thereby orbital overlap, between the metal and the extended π-system from the nanocarbon.

Abstract
Detecting proton and nitrogen correlations in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is important for the structural determination of biological and chemical systems. Recent advances in proton detection-based approaches under fast magic-angle spinning have facilitated the detection of 1H-14N correlations by solid-state NMR. However, observing remote 1H-14N correlations by these approaches is still a challenge, especially for 14N sites having large quadrupolar couplings. To address this issue, we introduce the 1H-14N overtone continuous wave rotational-echo saturation-pulse double-resonance (1H-14N OT CW-RESPDOR) sequence. Unlike regular 2D correlation experiments where the indirect dimension is recorded in the time domain, the 1H-14N OT CW-RESPDOR experiment is directly observed in the frequency domain. A set of 1H-14N OT CW-RESPDOR filtered 1H spectra is recorded at varying 14N OT frequencies. Thanks to the selective nature of the 14N OT pulse, the filtered 1H spectra appear only if the 14N OT frequency hits the positions of the 14N OT central band or one of the spinning sidebands. This set of filtered 1H spectra represents a 2D 1H-14N OT correlation map. We have also investigated the optimizable parameters for CW-RESPDOR and figured out that these parameters are not strictly needed for our working magnetic field of 14.1 T. Hence, the experiment is easy to set up and requires almost no optimization. We have demonstrated the experimental feasibility of 1H-14N OT CW-RESPDOR on monoclinic L-histidine and L-alanyl L-alanine. The remote 1H-14N correlations have been efficiently detected, no matter how large the 14N quadrupolar interaction is, and agree with the crystal structures. In addition, based on the remote 1H-14N correlations from the non-protonated 14N site of L-histidine, we can unambiguously distinguish the orthorhombic and monoclinic forms.

Abstract
The description of the formation, structure, and reactivity of coordination networks and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) remains a real challenge in a number of cases. This is notably true for compounds composed of Zn2+ ions and terephthalate ligands (benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate, BDC) because of the difficulties in isolating them as pure phases and/or because of the presence of structural defects. Here, using mechanochemistry in combination with operando Raman spectroscopy, the observation of the formation of various zinc terephthalate compounds was rendered possible, allowing the distinction and isolation of three intermediates during the ball-milling synthesis of Zn3(OH)4(BDC). An "NMR crystallography" approach was then used, combining solid-state NMR (1H, 13C, and 17O) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to refine the poorly described crystallographic structures of these phases. Particularly noteworthy are the high-resolution 17O NMR analyses, which were made possible in a highly efficient and cost-effective way, thanks to the selective 17O-enrichment of either hydroxyl or terephthalate groups by ball-milling. This allowed the presence of defect sites to be identified for the first time in one of the phases, and the nature of the H-bonding network of the hydroxyls to be established in another. Lastly, the possibility of using deuterated precursors (e.g., D2O and d 4-BDC) during ball-milling is also introduced as a means for observing specific transformations during operando Raman spectroscopy studies, which would not have been possible with hydrogenated equivalents. Overall, the synthetic and spectroscopic approaches developed herein are expected to push forward the understanding of the structure and reactivity of other complex coordination networks and MOFs.

Abstract
In the last two decades, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (ssNMR) spectroscopy has transformed from a spectroscopic technique investigating small molecules and industrial polymers to a potent tool decrypting structure and underlying dynamics of complex biological systems, such as membrane proteins, fibrils, and assemblies, in near-physiological environments and temperatures. This transformation can be ascribed to improvements in hardware design, sample preparation, pulsed methods, isotope labeling strategies, resolution, and sensitivity. The fundamental engagement between nuclear spins and radio-frequency pulses in the presence of a strong static magnetic field is identical between solution and ssNMR, but the experimental procedures vastly differ because of the absence of molecular tumbling in solids. This review discusses routinely employed state-of-the-art static and MAS pulsed NMR methods relevant for biological samples with rotational correlation times exceeding 100's of nanoseconds. Recent developments in signal filtering approaches, proton methodologies, and multiple acquisition techniques to boost sensitivity and speed up data acquisition at fast MAS are also discussed. Several examples of protein structures (globular, membrane, fibrils, and assemblies) solved with ssNMR spectroscopy have been considered. We also discuss integrated approaches to structurally characterize challenging biological systems and some newly emanating subdisciplines in ssNMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
1H{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 1H 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 R412 (SR412) symmetry-based recoupling pulse sequence is typically applied to the 1H spins to reintroduce heteronuclear dipolar couplings. However, the timing of SR412 and other symmetry-based pulse sequences must be precisely synchronized with the rotation of the sample, otherwise, the evolution of 1H CSA and other interactions will not be properly refocused. For this reason, significant distortions are often observed in experimental dipolar dephasing difference curves obtained with S-REDOR or S-RESPDOR pulse sequences. Here we introduce a family of double echo (DE) S-REDOR/S-RESPDOR pulse sequences that function in an analogous manner to the recently introduced t1-noise eliminated (TONE) family of dipolar heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (D-HMQC) pulse sequences. Through numerical simulations and experiments the DE S-REDOR/S-RESPDOR sequences are shown to provide dephasing difference curves similar to those obtained with S-REDOR/S-RESPDOR. However, the DE sequences are more robust to the deviations of the MAS frequency from the ideal value that occurs during typical solid-state NMR experiments. The DE sequences are shown to provide more reliable 1H detected dipolar dephasing difference curves for nuclei such as 15N (with isotopic labelling), 183W and 35Cl. The double echo sequences are therefore recommended to be used in place of conventional S-REDOR/S-RESPDOR sequences for measurement of weak dipolar coupling constants and long-range distances.

Abstract
Colloidal atomic layer deposition (c-ALD) enables the growth of hybrid organic-inorganic oxide shells with tunable thickness at the nanometer scale around ligand-functionalized inorganic nanoparticles (NPs). This recently developed method has demonstrated improved stability of NPs and of their dispersions, a key requirement for their application. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which the inorganic shells form is still unknown, as is the nature of multiple complex interfaces between the NPs, the organic ligands functionalizing the surface, and the shell. Here, we demonstrate that carboxylate ligands are the key element that enables the synthesis of these core-shell structures. Dynamic nuclear polarization surface-enhanced nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (DNP SENS) in combination with density functional theory (DFT) structure calculations shows that the addition of the aluminum organometallic precursor forms a ligand-precursor complex that interacts with the NP surface. This ligand-precursor complex is the first step for the nucleation of the shell and enables its further growth.

Abstract
With the development of NMR methodology and technology during the past decades, solid-state NMR (ssNMR) has become a particularly important tool for investigating structure and dynamics at atomic scale in biological systems, where the recoupling techniques play pivotal roles in modern high-resolution MAS NMR. In this review, following a brief introduction on the basic theory of recoupling in ssNMR, we highlight the recent advances in dipolar and chemical shift anisotropy recoupling methods, as well as their applications in structural determination and dynamical characterization at multiple time scales (i.e., fast-, intermediate-, and slow-motion). The performances of these prevalent recoupling techniques are compared and discussed in multiple aspects, together with the representative applications in biomolecules. Given the recent emerging advances in NMR technology, new challenges for recoupling methodology development and potential opportunities for biological systems are also discussed.

Abstract
Amorphous silica-aluminas (ASAs) are important acidic catalysts and supports for many industrially essential and sustainable processes. The identification of surface acid sites with their local structures on ASAs is of critical importance for tuning their catalytic properties but still remains a great challenge and is under debate. Here, ultrahigh magnetic field (35.2 T) 27Al-{1H} D-HMQC (dipolar-mediated heteronuclear multiple-quantum correlation) two-dimensional NMR experiments demonstrate two types of Brønsted acid sites in ASA catalysts. In addition to the known pseudobridging silanol acid sites, the use of ultrahigh field NMR provides the first direct experimental evidence for the existence of bridging silanol (BS: SiOHAl) acid sites in ASAs, which has been hotly debated in the past few decades. This discovery provides new opportunities for scientists and engineers to develop and apply ASAs in various reaction processes due to the significance of BS in chemical and fuel productions based on its strong Brønsted acidity.

Abstract
Internuclear distances represent one of the main structural constraints in molecular structure determination using solid-state NMR spectroscopy, complementing chemical shifts and orientational restraints. Although a large number of magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR techniques have been available for distance measurements, traditional 13C and 15N NMR experiments are inherently limited to distances of a few angstroms due to the low gyromagnetic ratios of these nuclei. Recent development of fast MAS triple-resonance 19F and 1H NMR probes has stimulated the design of MAS NMR experiments that measure distances in the 1-2 nm range with high sensitivity. This review describes the principles and applications of these multiplexed multidimensional correlation distance NMR experiments, with an emphasis on 19F- and 1H-based distance experiments. Representative applications of these long-distance NMR methods to biological macromolecules as well as small molecules are reviewed.

Abstract
We report two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) 13C-17O heteronuclear correlation solid-state NMR experiments under magic-angle spinning (MAS) conditions. These experiments utilize the D-RINEPT (Dipolar-mediated Refocused Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer) scheme with symmetry-based SR412 recoupling blocks for coherence transfer between 13C and 17O nuclei. First, a 2D 17O → 13C correlation experiment was performed for the [1-13C,17O]-Gly/Gly·HCl cocrystal and [U-13C, 1-17O]-α/β-d-glucose samples. Second, a 2D 17O → 13C MQ-D-RINEPT correlation experiment where the indirect dimension incorporates the multiple-quantum MAS (MQMAS) scheme was tested for obtaining isotropic 17O resolution with [U-13C, 1-17O]-α/β-d-glucose. Third, a new 3D 17O → 13C → 13C correlation experiment was demonstrated where 17O → 13C and 13C → 13C correlations are achieved by D-RINEPT and DARR (Dipolar Assisted Rotational Resonance) sequences, respectively (thus termed as a 3D D-RINEPT/DARR OCC experiment). This new 3D 17O NMR experiment is implemented with the aim for site-resolved solid-state 17O NMR studies.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN CHEMISTRY : MRC 2021; 59:920-939. [PMID: 33300128 DOI: 10.1002/mrc.5121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2020] [Revised: 12/02/2020] [Accepted: 12/05/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
We show herein how the proton magnetization enhanced by dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) can be efficiently transferred at moderate magic-angle spinning (MAS) frequencies to half-integer quadrupolar nuclei, S ≥ 3/2, using the Dipolar-mediated Refocused Insensitive Nuclei Enhanced by Polarization Transfer (D-RINEPT) technique, in which a symmetry-based SR 4 1 2 recoupling scheme built from adiabatic inversion 1 H pulses reintroduces the 1 H-S dipolar couplings, while suppressing the 1 H-1 H ones. The use of adiabatic pulses also improves the robustness to offsets and radiofrequency (rf)-field inhomogeneity. Furthermore, the efficiency of the polarization transfer is further improved by using 1 H composite pulses and continuous-wave irradiations between the recoupling blocks, as well as by manipulating the S satellite transitions during the first recoupling block. Furthermore, in the case of large 1 H-S dipolar couplings, the D-RINEPT variant with two pulses on the quadrupolar channel results in an improved transfer efficiency. We compare here the performances of this new adiabatic scheme with those of its parent version with single π pulses, as well as with those of PRESTO and CPMAS transfers. This comparison is performed using simulations as well as DNP-enhanced 27 Al, 95 Mo, and 17 O NMR experiments on isotopically unmodified γ-alumina, hydrated titania-supported MoO3 , Mg(OH)2 , and l-histidine·HCl·H2 O. The introduced RINEPT method outperforms the existing methods, both in terms of efficiency and robustness to rf-field inhomogeneity and offset.

Abstract
Molecular structure determination is the basis for understanding chemical processes and the property of materials. The direct dependence of the magnetic dipolar interaction on the distance makes solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) an excellent tool to study molecular structure when X-ray crystallography fails to provide atomic-resolution data. Although techniques to measure distances between pairs of isolated nuclear spin-1/2 pairs are routine and easy to implement using the rotational echo double resonance (REDOR) experiment (Gullion & Schaefer, 1989), the existence of a nucleus with a spin > 1/2, appearing in approximately 75% of the elements in the periodic table, poses a challenge due to difficulties stemming from the large nuclear quadrupolar coupling constant (QCC). This mini-review presents the existing solid-state magic-angle spinning NMR techniques aimed toward the efficient and accurate determination of internuclear distances between a spin-1/2 and a "quadrupolar" nucleus having a spin larger than one half. Analytical expressions are provided for the various recoupling curves stemming from different techniques, and a coherent nomenclature for these various techniques is suggested. Treatment of some special cases such as multiple spin effects and spins with close Larmor frequencies is also discussed. The most advanced methods can recouple spins with quadrupolar frequencies up to tens of megahertz and beyond, expanding the distance measurement capabilities of solid-state NMR to an increasingly growing number of applications and nuclear spin systems.

Abstract
Nanosized metal-organic frameworks (nanoMOFs) have emerged as a new class of biodegradable and nontoxic nanomaterials of high interest for biomedical applications thanks to the possibility to load large amounts of a wide variety of therapeutic molecules in their porous structure. The surface of the highly porous nanoMOFs is usually engineered to increase their colloidal stability, to tune their interactions with the biological environment, and to allow targeting specific cells or organs. However, the atomic-scale analysis of these complex core-shell materials is highly challenging. In this study, we report the investigation of aluminum-based nanoMOFs containing two fluorinated lipids by solid-state NMR spectroscopy, including 27 Al, 1 H and 19 F MAS NMR. The ensemble of NMR data provides a better understanding of the localization and conformation of the fluorinated lipids inside the pores or on the nanoMOF surface.

Abstract
Heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence (HMQC) pulse sequences for establishing heteronuclear correlation in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) between 35 Cl and 1 H nuclei in chloride salts under fast (60 kHz) magic-angle spinning (MAS) and at high magnetic field (a 1 H Larmor frequency of 850 MHz) are investigated. Specifically, recoupling of the 35 Cl-1 H dipolar interaction using rotary resonance recoupling with phase inversion every rotor period or the symmetry-based SR42 1 pulse sequences are compared. In our implementation of the population transfer (PT) dipolar (D) HMQC experiment, the satellite transitions of the 35 Cl nuclei are saturated with an off-resonance WURST sweep, at a low nutation frequency, over the second spinning sideband, whereby the WURST pulse must be of the same duration as the recoupling time. Numerical simulations of the 35 Cl-1 H MAS D-HMQC experiment performed separately for each crystallite orientation in a powder provide insight into the orientation dependence of changes in the second-order quadrupolar-broadened 35 Cl MAS NMR lineshape under the application of dipolar recoupling. Two-dimensional 35 Cl-1 H PT-D-HMQC MAS NMR spectra are presented for the amino acids glycine·HCl and l-tyrosine·HCl and the pharmaceuticals cimetidine·HCl, amitriptyline·HCl and lidocaine·HCl·H2 O. Experimentally observed 35 Cl lineshapes are compared with those simulated for 35 Cl chemical shift and quadrupolar parameters as calculated using the gauge-including projector-augmented wave (GIPAW) method: the calculated quadrupolar product (PQ ) values exceed those measured experimentally by a factor of between 1.3 and 1.9.

Abstract
Through-space heteronuclear correlation (D-HETCOR) experiments based on heteronuclear multiple-quantum correlation (D-HMQC) and refocused insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (D-RINEPT) sequences have been proven to be useful approaches for the detection of the spatial proximity between half-integer quadrupolar nuclei in solids under magic-angle spinning (MAS) conditions. The corresponding pulse sequences employ coherence transfers mediated by heteronuclear dipolar interactions, which are reintroduced under MAS by radiofrequency irradiation of only one of the two correlated nuclei. We investigate herein using numerical simulations of spin dynamics and solid-state NMR experiments on magnesium aluminoborate glass how the choice of the channel to which the heteronuclear dipolar recoupling is applied affects the transfer efficiency of D-HMQC and D-RINEPT sequences between 11 B and 27 Al nuclei. Experimental results show that maximum transfer efficiency is achieved when the recoupling scheme is applied to the channel, for which the spin magnetization is parallel to the B0 axis in average.
