    Abstract:
    The contribution due to fast-chemical exchange processes in off-resonance relaxation measurement is studied both theoretically and experimentally. The relaxation rates depend explicitly on the effective field amplitude in the rotating frame, and therefore on the rf field strength and offset. This gives access to a larger domain of slow internal motion (characteristic times between 0·1 µs and 10 μs) in comparison to on-resonance relaxation measurement, avoiding problems of HOHAHA coherence transfer or angular dispersion. Different methods to detect and measure fast-chemical exchange processes using off-resonance ROESY and local effective correlation time measurement are described. They are essentially based on a variation of the rf field amplitude at constant angle 0 between the effective field and the static magnetic field. As an illustration, the chemical shift difference between the two conformations of cyclohexane at room temperature is measured.

    Assignments of nearly all the 1H chemical shifts of glycogen are made by 2-D 1H-1H homonuclear and 13C-1H heteronuclear COSY. We demonstrated that it is possible to obtain well-resolved 2-D n.m.r. spectra for a large molecule like glycogen. The seven nonequivalent protons of the glucose residues in the α-(1 → 4)-linked chains, and of those at the nonreducing ends, were completely assigned. Distinct chemical shifts for H-1 and H-2 immediately adjacent to the α-(1 → 6) bonds at the branch points were also determined. Several modifications of previous 13C chemical shift assignments were made from the heteronuclear 2-D n.m.r. data.

    Homonuclear two- and multidimensional NMR spectra are standard experiments for the structure determination of small to medium-sized molecules. In the large majority of homonuclear correlated spectra the diagonal contains the most intense peaks. Cross-peaks near the diagonal could overlap with huge tails of diagonal peaks and can therefore be easily overlooked. Here we present a general method for the suppression of peaks along the diagonal in homonuclear correlated spectra. It is based on a spatially selective excitation followed by the suppression of magnetization which has not changed the frequency during the mixing process. In addition to the auto correlation removal, these experiments are also less affected by magnetic field inhomogeneities due to the slice selective excitation, which on the other side leads to a reduced intensity compared to regular homonuclear correlated spectra.

    This simple rotational-echo double-resonance (REDOR) technique can produce a reduction in rotational echo amplitude for a homonuclear spin pair undergoing magic angle spinning. The homonuclear REDOR technique has an intriguing condition under which the homonuclear spin pair can be regarded as a heteronuclear spin pair in calculating the reduction in rotational echo amplitude.

    It is demonstrated that, by taking the solid metal at zero temperature as the references state, the enthalpy of formation of homonuclear diatomic molecules can be obtained as the surface energy of a piece of metal having the size of two atoms. It is suggested that the energy of larger homonuclear metal clusters can be derived similarly.
