We have investigated the extent to which rotor synchronization of radiofrequency pulses leads to spectral improvement in highresolution magic angle spinning NMR experiments. Several pulse sequences were tested, and the effect was found to be maximal in homonuclear TOCSY spectra. The physicochemical

β¦ Synopsis
Magic-angle spinning NMR experiments with synchronously applied pulse trains are used to measure a variety of different anisotropic interactions, such as heteronuclear dipolar couplings and chemical-shift anisotropies. When the sample rotation speed and the pulse-sequence timings are not properly synchronized, the resulting spectra may contain artifacts and anisotropic interactions may be measured incorrectly. Sample-rotation/pulse-sequence asynchrony can result from short-term fluctuations in spinning speed, even when the average spinning speed is carefully regulated. Here we examine three simple, spin-echo pulse sequences under conditions where the pulse trains are incommensurate with the sample rotation.
