β¦ Synopsis
Complex spinning sidebands are observed in magic-angle-spinning (MAS) NMR spectra arising from isolated tightly J-coupled spin pairs under slow spinning conditions. Such spinning sidebands are sensitive to the magnitude and relative orientation of the chemical-shift tensors, the dipolar-coupling tensor, and the sign of the indirect spin-spin (J) coupling. We show that it is possible to extract information concerning such NMR parameters from an analysis of the observed spinning sidebands. As an example, numerical simulations are carried out to reproduce observed 31P MAS NMR spectra of a phosphole tetramer (1) and o-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (2), so that invaluable information concerning the orientations of the phosphorus chemical-shift tensors and the sign of J(31P, 31P) can be deduced. Simulations are carried out by numerically evaluating the spin-density matrix of the spin system.

Interleaved sideband families that arise from distinct isotropic chemical shifts and the associated chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) tensors in magic angle spinning NMR are conventionally disentangled using two-dimensional schemes. However, for the case of just a pair of distinct chemical sites, a sc
## Abstract A simple procedure is presented for the determination of the asymmetry parameter of the electric field gradient, the quadrupole coupling constant, the secondβorder quadrupolar shift and the isotropic chemical shift of quadrupolar nuclei with halfβinteger spin directly from the experimen
