*** Outline ***

Below NMR pulse program describes the z-filter approach for (1D and 2D) +3Q-MAS experiment applied to quadrupolar nuclei with half-integer spin.

Z-filter 3QMAS sequence and coherence transfer pathway for a spin I = 3/2

Fig. 1: Z-filter 3QMAS NMR pulse sequence and coherence transfer pathway.
The echo amplitude and the antiecho amplitude have the same sign.
The phase cyling for 3 strong pulses is discussed.

This NMR pulse program is for Bruker Avance spectrometers.

A pure absorption 2D spectrum is obtained with the shearing transformation.

; 3Q MAS pulse program for half-integer spin nuclei 
; 3-pulse experiment with zero quantum filter: 
; excitation(±3Q) - conversion(0Q) - tau - 90° selective - ACQ(-1Q) 
; 90° selective pulse should be determined first using Hahn-echo, 
; determination by single pulse excitation is also possible 
; Then optimise P2 and finally P1, 2 or more iterations for P1 and P2 
; may be needed.
; For processing shearing transformation may be requested,
; use AU program xfshear

If the third pulse must be a strong RF pulse for better excitation of off-resonance nuclei, the phase cyclings of ph1, ph2, ph3, and ph31 should be the following for spin I = 3/2. However, there is no harm in applying these phase cyclings concerning 3-strong pulse sequence even when the third pulse is a weak RF pulse.
