Title: Advanced NMR approaches in the characterization of coal

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5435732

A solid-state 2D {sup 1}H-{sup 13}C chemical shift correlation experiment has been developed, refined and applied to representative organic solids ranging room pure, powdered, crystalline compounds to lignite. During the {sup 1}H chemical shift evolution period a 48-pulse elaboration of a recently reported windowless 12-pulse sequence (BB-12) was applied in the {sup 13}C channel for decoupling the {sup 1}H-{sup 13}C dipolar interaction, along with the windowless BLEW-48 for {sup 1}H-{sup 1}H dipolar decoupling. For {sup 1}H{yields}{sup 13}C polarization transfer, the previously reported WIM-24 windowless sequence was used in both the {sup 1}H and {sup 13}C channels. Excellent 2D results are obtained, permitting {sup 1}H peaks to benefit in resolution from the spread of {sup 13}C chemical shifts. Prospects for future techniques and applications are discussed. 23 refs., 8 figs.
