title: 2H double-quantum NMR spectroscopy for the study of molecular motion in solids
abstract: An experiment which separates 2H spinning sideband patterns according to the 2H double-quantum chemical shift in a manner suitable for motional studies is proposed. The technique is successfully applied to 4,4'-azoxydianisole at 323 K to separately analyze the motion of the aromatic and methyl deuterons. Comments are made on the formation of a nematic mesophase in this material at 390 K in the light of the results of this NMR study. Copyright 1997 Academic Press. Copyright 1997Academic Press
