Selective internuclear coupling estimation in the solid-state NMR of multiple-spin systems.
A new solid-state NMR method is presented for estimating homonuclear dipole-dipole couplings for selected groups of nuclear spins in a multiple-spin coupled network. The methodology combines off-magic-angle spinning, frequency selective spin echoes, and multiple quantum filtering. The new method is insensitive to incoherent relaxation effects and may be used to estimate weak couplings. Internuclear (13)C-(13)C couplings are estimated in uniformly (13)C-labelled l-Histidine·HCl·H(2)O. Weak intermolecular couplings between (13)C nuclei separated by distances exceeding 6 Å are estimated.
