Two-dimensional Pure Isotropic Proton Solid State NMR

David Lyndon Emsley, Manuel Cordova, Pinelopi Moutzouri, Bruno Simões de Almeida, Daria Torodii

One key bottleneck of solid-state NMR spectroscopy is that H-1 NMR spectra of organic solids are often very broad due to the presence of a strong network of dipolar couplings. We have recently suggested a new approach to tackle this problem. More specifica ...
