Frequency- and phase-modulated heteronuclear decoupling in rotating solids.
The mechanism of heteronuclear dipolar decoupling by the TPPM sequences, proposed by Bennett et al. (J. Chem. Phys. 103 (1995) 6951) is investigated by comparison with a modified pulse sequence, called TPFM, that uses frequency instead of phase modulation. By combining frequency and phase modulations, circularly modulated sequences are designed. The fact that only the left-handed modulation sequence FMPML leads to improved proton decoupling, while the right-handed modulation sequence FMPMR is ineffective, proves that the efficient decoupling is caused by a secondary resonance effect.
