Abstract
Nitrogen constitutes one of the most important elements in chemistry and in the life and materials sciences. Both naturally occurring nitrogen isotopes are NMR active: 14N (I = 1) and 15N (I= 1/2) with abundances of 99.63% and 0.37%, respectively. Due to the unfavorable properties of the 14N isotope it has rarely been targeted for NMR observation because it is considered a low-frequency nucleus of low sensitivity and because of the quadrupolar broadening. This is especially true in the solid state where the combination of low-resonance frequency and the quadrupolar effects makes the observation of 14N extremely difficult. Thus, 15N is the nucleus preferred in both solid- and liquid-state NMR studies of nitrogen materials, usually employing 15N-enriched materials.
