ABSTRACT
NMR spectroscopy has become a useful tool for chemical analysis of solids be cause control of spectral response allows one to analyze effects individually in separate experiments that would simultaneously be present in the usual NMR spectrum. I discuss in this chapter how one can obtain spectra of abundant nuclei such as protons or fluorines whose spectra are usually dominated by like-spin dipolar couplings and how one may analyze the spectrum of deuterium, a spin-1 nucleus whose dominant coupling in the solid state is the quadrupolar interaction with electric-field gradients [1-6].
