posted on 2014-01-01, 00:00 authored by A J Rossini, L Emsley, Luke O'DellLuke O'DellDynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP) has been used to obtain magic angle spinning (14)N(OT) (nitrogen-14 overtone) solid-state NMR spectra from several model amino acids, with both direct and indirect observation of the (14)N(OT) signal. The crystalline solids were impregnated with biradical solutions of organic liquids that do not dissolve the crystalline phase. The bulk phase was then polarized via(1)H spin diffusion from the highly-polarized surface (1)H nuclei, resulting in (1)H DNP signal enhancements of around two orders of magnitude. Cross polarisation from (1)H nuclei directly to the (14)N overtone transition is demonstrated under magic angle spinning, using a standard pulse sequence with a relatively short contact time (on the order of 100 μs). This method can be used to acquire (14)N overtone MAS powder patterns that match closely with simulated line shapes, allowing isotropic chemical shifts and quadrupolar parameters to be measured. DNP enhancement also allows the rapid acquisition of 2D (14)N(OT) heteronuclear correlation spectra from natural abundance powder samples. (1)H-(14)N(OT) HETCOR and (13)C-(14)N(OT) HMQC pulse sequences were used to observe all single-bond H-N and C-N correlations in histidine hydrochloride monohydrate, with the spectra obtained in a matter of hours. Due to the high natural abundance of the (14)N isotope (99.6%) and the advantages of observing the overtone transition, these methods provide an attractive route to the observation of C-N correlations from samples at natural isotopic abundance and enable the high resolution measurement of (14)N chemical shifts and quadrupolar interaction parameters.
