Multiple Quantum Coherence and Magic Angle in Solid NMR Spectroscopy

Multiple Quantum Coherence and Magic Angle in Solid NMR Spectroscopy

In this paper we discussed how multiple quantum coherences evolve in the presence of anisotropic distribution of dipolar couplings. The magnitude of dipolar couplings were varied by changing the tile angle of crystal axis. The stronger was dipolar coupling, the higher was frequency of multiple quantum coherence. That is, the order of multiple quantum coherence varies in proportion to the magnitude of dipolar couplings. The theoretical prediction for the multiple quantum coherence at magic angle 54.7$^{\circ}$ in solid NMR spectroscopy was verified in this study. The excitation pattern of n-quantum coherence, which can induce the effective size to characterize spin system, is expected in a larger and more complicated spin system for understanding of the relation of dipolar coupling and multiple quantum coherence.
