Two-dimensional magic-angle spinning isotropic reconstruction sequences for quadrupolar nuclei.
Two-dimensional magic-angle spinning (triple quantum, single quantum) correlation pulse sequences and phase cycles based on the technique of Frydman and Harwood for the reconstruction of the isotropic spectrum of half-integer spin quadrupolar nuclei broadened to second-order are described. These sequences provide pure absorption mode two-dimensional lineshapes and increased sensitivity. Experimental examples on spin I = 3/2 (87Rb in RbNO3) and I = 5/2 (27Al in NaSi3AlO8) are presented. The isotropic chemical shift and quadrupolar coupling parameters could be obtained from a simple analysis of the triple quantum filtered single quantum magic-angle spinning cross-sections.
