HORROR homonuclear rotary

Dipolar recoupling may also be accomplished using continuous rf irradiation as demonstrated in the heteronuclear and homonuclear case by the CP at MAS conditions (or for low-y heteronuclear spins called double-cross-polarization, DCP [103]) and HORROR (homonuclear rotary resonance) [26] experiments, respectively. These experiments may easily be described by transforming the description into the interaction frame of the rf irradiation using (14a) exploiting... 

While the Ur — 2uj DQ-HORROR condition selectively recouples dipolar interactions, the homonuclear rotary resonance condition = leads to single-quantum and double-quantum recoupling, including recoupling of CSA. Accordingly, the homonuclear n = I condition with Wr = has also been called MSD-HORROR (mixed single- and double quantum HORROR) " and has been employed to determine the orientation of the two C chemical shielding tensors in 2,3- C2-labelled L-alanine. However, the homonuclear resonance condition simultaneously represents a heteronuclear n = 1... 

It is known that, at the HORROR condition, homonuclear dipolar couplings between xHs are reintroduced, leading to partial removal of the heteronuclear coupling.28 29 It is worth noting that at 60 and 120 kHz the proton decoupling is insufficient due to the rotary resonance effect. It has been shown theoretically by Emsley and co-workers,19 that the first and second rotary resonances are partially quenched by the presence of homonuclear couplings.
