Carbon and deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance in solids

Results are presented on a study of cross polarization dynamics, between protons and carbon-13 in adamantane, by the direct observation of the dilute, carbon-13 spins. A comparison is presented of the experimental and theoretical proton dipolar fluctuation correlation time tau/sub c/, which is experimentally 110 +- 15 μsec and theoretically 122 μsec for adamantane. An approach to high resolution NMR of deuterium in solids is described. The m = 1 → --1 transition is excited by a double quantum process and the decay of coherence Q(tau) is monitored. The carboxyl and the water deuterium shifts are resolved and the anisotropy of the carboxyl shielding tensor is estimated to be Δ sigma = 32 +- ppM. A complete theoretical analysis is presented. The extension of cross relaxation techniques, both direct and indirect, to proton-deuterium double resonance is also described
