title: Zero-field nuclear magnetic resonance in high field by modulated rf sequences.
abstract: The authors propose a novel approach to design and evaluate sequences for zero-field NMR spectra in high field (ZFHF) by using amplitude and phase modulated rf sequences. ZFHF provide sharp peaks for the dipolar interaction between two nuclear spins even if the orientation of the molecules is distributed. The internuclear distance r can be directly obtained from the peak position which is proportional to r-3. Numerous ZFHF sequences are obtained. A sequence is selected from them by the systematic evaluation of the sequences. The new ZFHF sequence is less affected by chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) than the previous sequences; the sequence can be used for systems with large CSA such as a dipolar coupled 13C-pair system under realistically high field. 13C ZFHF spectra of 13C2 diammonium succinate and 13C2 diammonium oxalate were observed under the 9.4 T field.
