A new and efficient broadband decoupling sequence is presented. It is based on the phase cycling of two pulses with small phase angles. The pulse width is 180 degrees +/- 30 degrees, and the phase angle is +/-10 degrees-12 degrees. The sequence contains 16 elements, and is called SPARC-16 as an abbr

β¦ Synopsis
Recently we developed an efficient broadband decoupling sequence called SPARC-16 for liquid crystals [J. Magn. Reson. 130, 317 (1998)]. The sequence is based upon a 16-step phase cycling of the 2-step TPPM decoupling method for solids [J. Chem. Phys. 103, 6951 (1995)]. Since then, we have found that a stepwise variation of the phase angle in the TPPM sequence offers even better results. The application of this new method to a liquid crystalline compound, 4-n-pentyl-4-cyanobiphenyl, and a solid, L-tyrosine hydrochloride, is reported. The reason for the improvement is explained by an analysis of the problem in the rotating frame.
