title: Experimental aspects of multidimensional solid-state NMR correlation spectroscopy.
abstract: The experimental parameters critical for the implementation of multidimensional solid-state NMR experiments that incorporate heteronuclear spin exchange at the magic angle are discussed. This family of experiments is exemplified by the three-dimensional experiment that correlates the (1)H chemical shift, (1)H-(15)N dipolar coupling, and (15)N chemical shift frequencies. The broadening effects of the homonuclear (1)H-(1)H dipolar couplings are suppressed using flip-flop (phase- and frequency-switched) Lee-Goldburg irradiations in both the (1)H chemical shift and the (1)H-(15)N dipolar coupling dimensions. The experiments are illustrated using the (1)H and (15)N chemical shift and dipolar couplings in a single crystal of (15)N-acetylleucine.
