title: A standard for silver CP/MAS experiments.
abstract: Silver methanesulfonate, AgSO3CH3, is a photo-stable, commercially available compound which is a superior 109Ag standard for setting up CP/MAS experiments. The 109Ag CP/MAS spectrum at moderate sample spinning speeds easily yields a single, relatively narrow peak with a single transient. The 109Ag chemical shift of solid AgSO3CH3 is 87.2 ppm with respect to a 9 M aqueous solution of AgNO3. The static spectrum yields chemical shift tensor components delta11=191 ppm, delta22=63 ppm and delta33=8 ppm. Therefore the span, Omega, is 183 ppm and the skew, kappa, is -0.39. These values are in accord with the known crystal structure.
