Abstract: | Determination of Chemical Shifts of NMR-Frequencies of Quadrupolar Nuclei from the MAS-NMR Spectra The general expressions for the NMR central transition of rotating samples with quadrupolar nuclei of half-integer spins, derived by BEHRENS [1, 2] for arbitrary angles of inclination of the spinning axis considering second-order quadrupolar effects, are presented for the practically interesting case of magic angle spinning (MAS) in a form analogous to the expressions for the resting sample. The theory is tested and used for the exact determination of the chemical shift values from the MAS-27Al-NMR spectra of two representative aluminates. |
