title: Coherence selection in double CP MAS NMR spectroscopy.
abstract: Applications of double cross-polarization (CP) magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy, via (1)H/(15)N and then (15)N/(13)C coherence transfers, for (13)C coherence selection are demonstrated on a (15)N/(13)C-labeled N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc) compound. The (15)N/(13)C coherence transfer is very sensitive to the settings of the experimental parameters. To resolve explicitly these parameter dependences, we have systematically monitored the (13)C{(15)N/(1)H} signal as a function of the rf field strength and the MAS frequency. The data reveal that the zero-quantum coherence transfer, with which the (13)C effective rf field is larger than that of the (15)N by the spinning frequency, would give better signal sensitivity. We demonstrate in one- and two-dimensional double CP experiments that spectral editing can be achieved by tailoring the experimental parameters, such as the rf field strengths and/or the MAS frequency.
