Abstract

Two-dimensional indirectly detected through-space and through-bond (1)H{(15)N} solid-state NMR experiments utilizing fast magic angle spinning (MAS) and homonuclear multipulse (1)H decoupling are evaluated. Remarkable efficiency of polarization transfer can be achieved at a MAS rate of 40 kHz by both cross-polarization and INEPT, which makes these methods applicable for routine characterizations of natural abundance solids. The first measurement of 2D (1)H{(15)N} HETCOR spectrum of natural abundance surface species is also reported.
