title: (13)C shielding scale for MAS NMR spectroscopy.
abstract: We have performed the direct measurements of (13)C magnetic shielding for pure liquid TMS, solution of 1% TMS in CDCl3 and solid fullerene. The measurements were carried out in spherical ampoules exploring the relation between the resonance frequencies, shielding constants and magnetic moments of (13)C and (3)He nuclei. Next the (13)C shielding constants of glycine, hexamethylbenzene and adamantane were established on the basis of appropriate chemical shifts measured in the solid state. All the new results are free from susceptibility effects and can be recommended as the reference standards of (13)C shielding scale in the magic angle spinning NMR experiments.
