Exploring Dipolar Coupling and the Chemical Shift for Structure Determination in Solids and in Liquid Crystals. Havlin, R. H. Ph.D. Thesis, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY, 1997.
abstract   bibtex   
The development of novel structural techniques is vital to progress in many fields, most no- tably chemistry and biology. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has developed to a degree that ideally enables it to address structural questions. In this work, several new techniques are presented that provide structural parameters for systems which might be difficult to determine structures for by any other method. In particular, liquid crystalline systems such as organic liquid crystals and membrane mimetic bicelle systems can be studied now by utilizing the methods presented in this thesis. Another method for providing structural information for proteins in the solid and liquid state employs developments in ab initio chemical shift calculations to generate dihedral angles from spectroscopic observables. Fi- nally, a novel method for creating isotropic dipole coupled spectra in solids is presented and applied to simple samples in an initial step toward becoming a new structural technique.
