Popis: The sidebands observed in the magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectrum of a spin I = 1 2 H nucleus may be very strongly broadened if motion is present in the solid. The broadening arises from interference between the line-narrowing effects of MAS and the dynamics-driven reorientation of the 2 H quadrupole tensor. Here, we show that this motional broadening is absent or much reduced in the corresponding double-quantum MAS NMR spectrum. This observation suggests a new approach to studying dynamics in solids and examples are drawn from 2 H MAS NMR of oxalic acid dihydrate, sodium tetrathionate dihydrate, and the synthetic polymer PMMA.
