title: Artifact-free measurement of residual dipolar couplings in DMSO by the use of cross-linked perdeuterated poly(acrylonitrile) as alignment medium.
abstract: Perdeuterated poly(acrylonitrile) is introduced as a practically proton-free alignment medium for the measurement of anisotropic NMR parameters; its use in conventional glass tubes and in a Kalrez® 8002 UP-based stretching device with resulting spectra of astonishing quality are demonstrated.
