Analytical solutions to several magic-angle spinning NMR experiments

Using the Anderson–Weiss (AW) formalism, analytical expressions of the NMR signal are obtained for the following magic-angle spinning (MAS) experiments: total suppression of sidebands (TOSS); phase adjusted spinning sidebands (PASS); rotational-echo double-resonance (REDOR); rotor-encoded REDOR (REREDOR); cross-polarization magic-angle spinning (CPMAS); exchange induced sidebands (EIS); one-dimensional exchange spectroscopy by sideband alternation (ODESSA); time-reverse ODESSA (trODESSA); centerband-only detection of exchange (CODEX). In order to test the validity of the AW approach, the Gaussian powder approximation is compared with exact powder calculations. A quantitative study of the effect of molecular dynamics on the efficiency of the TOSS and REDOR pulse sequences is then presented.
