2H-13C HETCOR MAS NMR for indirect detection of 2H quadrupole patterns and spin-lattice relaxation rates

► 2D 2H-13C HETCOR developed to extract quadrupole patterns with minimal deviation from simulation. ► Dynamics determined for alanine, phenylalanine and proline using 2D 2H-13C HETCOR. ► Site-specific 2H T1 relaxation rates measured by 2H-13C CP-MAS.
