title: Solid-state NMR spectroscopy using the lost I spin magnetization in polarization transfer experiments.
abstract: A variation of the cross polarization (CP) experiment is discussed. The method requires two scans where the difference signal is equivalent to the I spin magnetization that is transferred to the S spins. The acquired signal is equivalent to F1 sum projection of a two-dimensional (2D) heteronuclear correlation experiment and is obtained by just two scans without the need to increment the indirect time domain t(1). Any polarization transfer method and any kind of spin manipulations during the t(1) incrementation period of a 2D NMR experiment can be applied. The method allows fast measurements of the CP transfer, particularly if various S spins signal overlap and is good for spectral editing of I spin signals with contact to S spins. Various examples for biomaterials are presented. Most importantly, this novel approach is ideal for detailed investigations of organic-mineral interfaces in bone, here demonstrated for O-phospho-l-serine as simple model compound.
