Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel schemes for enhancing the sensitivity of MQMAS experiments.
  • To leverage multiple coherence transfer pathways for improved signal detection.
  • To demonstrate the effectiveness of these new methods for quadrupolar nuclei.

Main Methods:

  • Multiplex phase cycling to simultaneously acquire MQMAS spectra from various coherence transfer pathways.
