Abstract
High isotropic resolution is essential for the structural elucidation of samples with multiple sites. In this study, utilizing the benefits of TRAPDOR-based heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence (T-HMQC) and a pair of one rotor period long cosine amplitude modulated low-power (cos-lp) pulse-based symmetric-split-t1 multiple-quantum magic angle spinning (MQMAS) methods, we have developed a proton-detected 2D 35Cl/1H T-HMQC-MQMAS pulse sequence under fast MAS (70 kHz) to achieve high-resolution in the indirect dimension of the spin-3/2 (35Cl) nuclei connected via protons. As T-HMQC polarizes not only single-quantum central transition (SQCT) but also triple-quantum (TQ) coherences, the proposed 2D pulse sequence is implemented via selection of two coherence pathways (SQCT→TQ →SQCT and TQ → SQCT→TQ) resulting in the 35Cl isotropic dimension and is superior to the existing double-quantum satellite-transition (DQST) T-HMQC in terms of resolution.

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.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2023; 348:107378.

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.

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.

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.

SOLID STATE NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE 2022; 122:101821.

Abstract
We present a theoretical and numerical description of the spin dynamics associated with TRAPDOR-HMQC (T-HMQC) experiment for a 1H (I) - 35Cl (S) spin system under fast magic angle spinning (MAS). Towards this an exact effective Hamiltonian describing the system is numerically evaluated with matrix logarithm approach. The different magnitudes of the heteronuclear and pure S terms in the effective Hamiltonian allow us to suggest a truncation approximation, which is shown to be in excellent agreement with the exact time evolution. Limitations of this approximation, especially at the rotary resonance condition, are discussed. The truncated effective Hamiltonian is further employed to monitor the buildup of various coherences during TRAPDOR irradiation. We observe and explain a functional resemblance between the magnitude of different terms in the truncated effective Hamiltonian and the amplitudes of various coherences during TRAPDOR irradiation, as function of crystallite orientation. Subsequently, the dependence of the sign (phase) of the T-HMQC signal on the coherence type generated is investigated numerically and analytically. We examine the continuous creation and evolution of various coherences at arbitrary times, i.e., at and between avoided level crossings. Behavior between consecutive crossings is described analytically and reveals 'quadrature' evolution of pairs of coherences and coherence interconversions. The adiabatic, sudden, and intermediate regimes for T-HMQC experiments are discussed within the approach established by A. J. Vega. Equations as well as numerical simulations suggest the existence of a driving coherence which builds up between consecutive crossings and then gets distributed at crossings among other coherences. In the intermediate regime, redistribution of the driving coherence to other coherences is almost uniform such that coherences involving S-spin double-quantum terms may be efficiently produced.

Abstract
Despite its ease in experimental set up, the low sensitivity of MQMAS experiments is often a limiting factor in many practical applications. This is mainly due to the large radiofrequency (RF) field requirement of the two short hard-pulses often used for the optimum MQ excitation and conversion steps. Very recently, two novel MQMAS experiments have been proposed for I = 3/2 nuclei, namely lp-MQMAS and coslp-MQMAS, enabling an efficient MQ excitation/conversion with a reduced RF requirement, by utilizing two long pulses lasting one rotor period each, with or without cosine modulation. In this study, we focus on the practical considerations of these new methods and discuss their pros and cons to elucidate their appropriate use under both moderate and fast spinning conditions. Using four I = 3/2 (87Rb, 71Ga, 35Cl and 23Na) nuclei at a moderate magnetic field (B0 = 14.1 T), we show the superior use of these experiments, especially for samples with large CQ values and/or low-gamma nuclei. Compared to all other existing sequences, the coslp-MQMAS method with initial WURST signal enhancement is the most robust, efficient and resolved high-resolution 2D method for spin 3/2 nuclei. Furthermore, using {23Na}-1H spin systems, we demonstrate the sensitivity advantage of the WURST coslp-MQ-HETCOR acquisition upon 1H detection and fast MAS conditions.

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.
