abstract
The performance of various high-resolution 1D H-1 CRAMPS pulse schemes at moderate and high static magnetic fields (400 MHz and 800 H-1 Larmor frequencies) and spinning rates up to 35 kHz, using state-of-the-art electronics is compared. The performance of the H-1 windowed acquisition decoupling schemes, wDUMBO, wPMLG3 and wSAM3 is investigated using their effective z-rotation variants on glycine and other small biological molecules, tripeptide reduced glutathione and nucleoside uridine. H-1 CRAMPS spectra, recorded with windowed H-1-H-1 decoupling methods and fast MAS (35 kHz) and high-field are reported for the first time. H-1 spectra exhibiting outstanding resolution and completely free from any artifact are also shown. The effect on spectra quality of the decoupling rf cycle and rotor periods ratio (tau(C)/tau(R)) and the power requirements needed for each windowed H-1 CRAMPS methods are discussed.
