R-2-CPMG N-15 relaxation experiments form the basis of NMR dynamics measurements, both for analysis of nano-pico second dynamics and milli-micro second dynamics (kinetics). It has been known for some time that in the practical limit of finite pulse widths, which becomes acute when using cryogenic probes, systematic errors in the apparent R-2 relaxation behavior occur for spins far off-resonance from the RE carrier. Inaccurate measurement of R-2 rates propagates into quantitative models such as model-free relaxation analysis, rotational diffusion tensor analysis, and relaxation dispersion. The root of the problem stems from evolution of the magnetization vectors out of the XY-plane, both during the pulses as well as between the pulses. These deviations vary as a function of pulse length, number of applied CPMG pulses, and CPMG inter-pulse delay. Herein, we analyze these effects in detail with experimentation, numerical simulations, and analytical equations. Our work suggests a surprisingly simple change in the phase progression of the CPMG pulses, which leads to a remarkable improvement in performance. First, the applicability range of the CPMG experiment is increased by a factor of two in spectral width; second, the dynamical/kinetic processes that can be assessed are significantly extended towards the slower time scale; finally, the robustness of the relaxation dispersion experiments is greatly improved.
