Cross-polarization/magic-angle sample-spinning C NMR spectroscopic study of chlorophyll a in the solid state.
Solid-state cross-polarization/magic-angle sample-spinning (13)C NMR spectra have been recorded on chlorophyll a-water aggregates, methyl pyrochlorophyllide a, and methyl pyropheophorbide a (derivatives that lack a phytyl chain). Spectra have also been collected under a decoupling regime in which resonances of certain hydrogen-bearing carbon atoms are suppressed. These observations are used to assign the solid-state spectra.
