Dual processing of two-dimensional exchange data in magic angle spinning NMR of solids.
We discuss procedures for processing data in rotor-synchronized two-dimensional magic angle spinning (2D MAS) NMR exchange measurements for both structural and dynamical studies. We show, both mathematically and experimentally, that there are two distinct data processing procedures that lead to 2D MAS exchange spectra with purely absorptive crosspeaks. One procedure is that described previously by Hagemeyer, Schmidt-Rohr, and Spiess (HSS). The other procedure is related, but different, and leads to crosspeak intensities given by the formulae of Herzfeld, Roberts, and Griffin (HRG). In 2D MAS exchange experiments on doubly (13)C-labeled l-alanylglycylglycine, we demonstrate that the HSS and HRG crosspeak intensities can be extracted separately from the same data set and contain independent information. Processing and analysis of 2D MAS exchange data with both the HSS and the HRG procedures may enhance utilization of the information content of 2D MAS exchange measurements.
