Multi-receiver solid-state NMR using polarization optimized experiments (POE) at ultrafast magic angle spinning

Ultrafast magic angle spinning (MAS) technology and ¹H detection have dramatically enhanced the sensitivity of solid-state NMR (ssNMR) spectroscopy of biopolymers. We previously showed that, when combined with polarization optimized experiments (POE), these advancements enable the simultaneous acquisition of multi-dimensional ¹H- or ¹³C-detected experiments using a single receiver. Here, we propose a new sub-class within the POE family, namely HC-DUMAS, HC-MEIOSIS, and HC-MAeSTOSO, that utilize dual receiver technology for the simultaneous detection of ¹H and ¹³C nuclei. We also expand this approach to record ¹H-, ¹³C-, and ¹⁵N-detected homonuclear 2D spectra simultaneously using three independent receivers. The combination of POE and multi-receiver technology will further shorten the total experimental time of ssNMR experiments for biological solids.
