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

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.
