Magnetic field gradients have proven useful in NMR for coherence pathway selection, diffusion studies, and imaging. Recently they have been combined with magic angle spinning to permit high-resolution measurements of semi-solids, where magic angle spinning averages any residual dipolar couplings and local variations in the bulk magnetic susceptibility. Here we show the first examples of coherence pathway selection by gradients in dipolar coupled solids. When the gradient evolution competes with dipolar evolution the experiment design must take into account both the strength of the dipolar couplings and the means to refocus it. Examples of both homonuclear and heteronuclear experiments are shown in which gradients have been used to eliminate the need for phase cycling.

The utility of gradient selection in MAS spectroscopy of dipolar solids is explored in two examples. In the first, rotor-synchronized gradients of appropriate strength and duration are applied to select 1H double-quantum coherences. The resulting DQ MAS spectrum of adamantane is compared with that a
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques were used to characterize cyclomaltoheptaose (β€-cyclodextrin, β€-CD) polymers. These insoluble materials have been investigated by cross-polarization magic angle spinning with dipolar decoupling (CP/MAS), magic angle spinning without dipolar dec
## Abstract The benefits of gradient techniques in the study of lipid membranes are demonstrated on a sample of 1βpalmitoylβ2βoleoylβ__sn__βglyceroβ3 phosphocholine (POPC) liposomes embedded with ibuprofen. Most techniques from gradient NMR spectroscopy on solution samples are directly applicable t
Many solid-state NMR experiments are sensitive to inhomogeneity in the radiofrequency field. We propose a method to restrict the sample volume, in magic angle spinning experiments, using a static magnetic field gradient and a selective pulse. The position of the gradient is calculated for our experi
