Abstract When both intermolecular dipolar couplings (D couplings) and intramolecular scalar couplings (J couplings) exist in a highly polarized multiple-spin liquid, some forbidden nuclear magnetic resonance signals originating from intermolecular multiple-quantum coherences may become observable. Moreover, their multiplet patterns are quite different from what are observed in a multiple-spin system with J couplings only. In this paper, these forbidden resonance peaks and unique multiplet patterns are studied theoretically and experimentally. For comparison and verification, an I2S3+X spin system is chosen as an example to present five types of signal patterns from the interactions of D and J couplings with either selective or non-selective radio-frequency pulse sequences for double-quantum coherences. The multiplet pattern rules for a more general IpSq+Xk (p, q, k=1, 2, 3,…) spin system are derived as well. It is demonstrated that some unusual multiplet amplitude patterns such as (1:0:—1) may "magnify" J splittings, allowing more accurate measurement of J coupling in the case of small J coupling constants and/or in inhomogeneous fields. It is shown that the theoretical predictions, computer simulations, and experimental observations are all in agreement with one another very well.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
