Probing through-bond connectivities and through-space distances in solids by magic-angle-spinning nuclear magnetic resonance

High-resolution magic-angle sample spinning experiments using total through-bond correlation spectroscopy and total through-space spectroscopy were carried out to examine the structure of organic solids. The results demonstrated the feasibility of probing both through-bond and through-space connectivities of calcium acetate monohydrate. However, both methods are limited to maximum distances of five angstrom and through-bond connectivities of up to three bonds only.
