Abstract:
Polarization transfer methods are widely adopted for the purpose of correlating different nuclear species as well as to achieve signal enhancement. Polarization transfer from 1H to the 14N overtone transition (Δm = 2) can be achieved using cross polarization methods under magic-angle spinning conditions, where spin locks of the order of several milliseconds can be obtained on common bio-solids (α-glycine and N-acetylvaline). Signal enhancement factors up to 4.4 per scan, can be achieved under favorable conditions, despite MHz-sized quadrupolar interaction. Moreover, we present a detailed theoretical treatment and accurate numerical simulations which are in excellent agreement the unusual experimental matching conditions observed for cross-polarization to 14N overtone.
