Abstract

Triple-channel 13C MAS NMR experiments are carried out to characterize intermolecular interactions in disordered molecular solids containing fluorinated n-alkanes; an approach involving a combination of 1H→13C and 19F→13C cross-polarization experiments, with both single-channel (1H) and double-channel (1H,19F) decoupling is developed to assign resonances for a given type of 13C nucleus in different intermolecular environments.
