Pulsed NMR Sulfur-33 Investigations with a Superconducting Solenoid

Abstract

There is much interest in examining the structure of sulfur compounds because of the role of sulfur as a principal contributor to environmental pollution. By a pulsed NMR technique, the extremely weak free induction decay signal of ³³S in several liquid compounds was detected. Using the relatively easy to detect carbon disulfide resonance as a reference model, a method is discussed for studying sulfur compounds which takes into consideration the symmetry and spin relaxation parameters (T₁ and T₂). Consideration is given to the instrumental parameters which can be varied to enhance ³³S pulsed NMR resonances.
