A thorough investigation of solid-state NMR signal enhancement schemes and high-resolution techniques for application to the spin-7/2 43Ca nuclide are presented. Signal enhancement experiments employing double frequency sweeps, hyperbolic secant pulses, and rotor-assisted population transfer, which manipulate the satellite transitions of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei to polarize the central transition (m = + 1/2 ↔ –1/2), are carried out on four well-characterized 43Ca isotopically enriched calcium salts: Ca(NO3)2, Ca(OD)2, CaSO4·2H2O, and Ca(OAc)2·H2O. These results, in conjunction with numerical simulations of 43Ca NMR spectra under magic-angle spinning conditions, are used to identify the technique that provides the most uniform (or quantitative) polarization enhancement as well as the largest signal enhancement factors independent of size of the 43Ca quadrupolar coupling constant, which is the most significant source of resonance broadening in 43Ca NMR spectra. These samples are further investigated using 43Ca double-rotation NMR spectroscopy to yield isotropic, or solution-like, NMR spectra with exquisite resolution. In addition, three unique calcium sites are resolved for the hemihydrated form of calcium acetate (unknown structure), Ca(OAc)2·0.5H2O, with double-rotation NMR, whereas the more common, but more time-consuming, multiple quantum magic-angle spinning technique only clearly resolves two calcium sites. The results shown herein will be useful for other NMR spectroscopists attempting to acquire 43Ca solid-state NMR data for unknown and more complex materials with a higher degree of both sensitivity and resolution.
