“…For cases of isotopically or spatially dilute spin-1/2 nuclides, e.g., 13C, 29Si, 16N, and 31P, the main obstacles to obtaining high-resolution NMR spectra of solids have been inefficient spin-lattice relaxation, dipolar interactions between the dilute nuclei and protons, and chemical shift anisotropy (CSA). These influences are now routinely overcome by cross polarization, high-power proton decoupling, and magic-angle spinning, respectively (8)(9)(10)(11)(12). These same kinds of techniques have also proven to be useful in obtaining relatively sharp NMR peaks from the central transitions of nuclei with n/2 spin, where n is an odd integer, e.g.,27A1 (9,13,14).…”
