The use of indirect detection for signal enhancement in solids is much less common than in liquids, but has attracted renewed interest recently. In this work we describe an indirect detection scheme that offers a large signal enhancement for rare spins in solids. The method uses multiple periods of

β¦ Synopsis
A novel 1 H imaging method for solids, yielding images reflecting 1 H-13 C dipolar interactions through cross relaxation time T IS , is presented. Phase-alternating multiple-contact cross polarization (PAMC CP) was incorporated into the magic-echo frequencyencoding imaging scheme; the PAMC CP sequence may partly but efficiently destroy the initial 1 H magnetization depending on the T IS values. A theory describing the effects of the PAMC CP sequence was developed, which was used for the assessment of the sequence as well as the analysis for the experimental results. It was demonstrated that the T IS -weighted 1 H image and the T IS mapping for a phantom, constituted of adamantane and ferrocene, can distinguish these compounds clearly.

## Abstract Solidβstate NMR spectroscopy is a potentially powerful method for obtaining molecular level structural information crucial for understanding the specific relationship between calcite crystals and occluded organic molecules that are important in biomineralization and biomimetic materials
Fe(III)meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine (Fe-TPPS4) has been investigated as a potential pH-sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) proton image contrast agent. Relaxation rates (1/T1 and 1/T2) of water protons were measured as a function of pH and concentration of Fe-TPPS4 in phosphate-buffe
^15^N CP/MAS solid state NMR should be a method of choice to obtain essential structural information on organic materials containing nitrogen atoms. However, the technique is generally not selected for the characterization of nonβlabelled chemical compounds, which represents the most common situatio
