    • Main Results:

    • Shaped pulses are more effective than rectangular pulses in exciting multiple-quantum coherences.
    • Specific shaped pulses efficiently convert multiple-quantum coherences to single-quantum or zero-quantum coherences.
    • Enhanced sensitivity is achievable without compromising resolution or increasing RF offset dependence.
    • Shaped pulses can reduce requirements for RF power and sample spinning speeds.
    • Lattice site quantification is improved using certain shaped pulses.

    Conclusions:

    • Shaped RF pulses offer significant advantages for multiple-quantum magic-angle spinning NMR of quadrupolar nuclei.
    • These pulses improve experimental sensitivity, efficiency, and quantification capabilities.
    • The findings enable more robust and less demanding NMR applications for materials analysis.
