A new PGSE NMR experiment, designed to measure molecular diffusion coefficients in systems with nonvanishing static dipolar coupling, is described. The fast static dipolar dephasing of the single-quantum 13 C coherences is removed by multiple-pulse heteronuclear decoupling. The resulting slow dephas

✦ Synopsis
The effect of several new homonuclear dipolar decoupling methods (frequency-switching Lee-Goldburg decoupling and two sequences based on z-rotational decoupling) on the 13 C spectra of liquid crystals has been studied, and the results are compared with those obtained by using two well-established methods (MREV-8 and BLEW-48). For benzene dissolved in two liquid crystalline solvents, BLEW-48 gives the best spectral resolution. The BLEW-48 sequence has also been applied to the 2D method of proton-encoded local field (PELF) spectroscopy to study a bulk liquid crystal, 4-n-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl (5CB). The results are compared with those obtained by using MREV-8, and it is suggested that the BLEW-48 sequence may be preferable to MREV-8 for application in the PELF method.

## Abstract It is demonstrated that in a case where neither the proton nor the natural‐abundance ^13^C‐satellite spectra of a partially oriented molecule carry enough structural information, one can determine the entire molecular geometry by the combined use of several liquid crystals as solvents.
