Have you been struggling to detect nitrogen-14 in solution? 😩 ... or have you ever thought of trying? Impossible broad lines.⛰️ Huge quadrupolar relaxation. Squinting your eyes trying to see a peak at the 4000th scan? 😆 In our latest work, we show that it's possible to characterize nitrogen-14 indirectly by measuring proton relaxometry in double resonance spin-locking experiments. The controlled reintroduction of scalar relaxation of the second kind (SR2K) in the rotating frame lets us extract ¹⁴N chemical shifts, one- and even two-bond ¹H–¹⁴N J-couplings and nitrogen T1 values all from a single set of proton relaxation dispersion with just ONE scan per point. No specialized hardware, no direct quadrupolar detection — just the protons already in your sample. Preprint (open access): 👉arxiv.org/abs/2607.03796
