Abstract:

In rigid lattice, chemical shift is a tensor depending on the spatial orientation of the external magnetic field. The tensor has six independent components. The  orientation of chemical shielding tensor can be expressed with direction cosine s of its principal axis system. It is of great interest that if the chemical shi ft tensor of each nonmagnetically equivalent nucleus is known, the information o n the distribution of the electron cloud in the molecule can be deduced from the se tensors. In this paper, the theory and methods of measurement of chemical shi ft tensor are reviewed. A number of common methods are discussed in detail, such  as 2D magic angle hopping (MAH), 2D magic angle turning(MAT), and 2D phase-adjusted spinning sidebands(2D-PASS) technique and so on. The common metho ds for measuring single crystal chemical shielding tensor are also discussed.

Key words: chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) tensor, magic angle hopping (MAH), ma gic angle turning (MAT), 2D-PASS
