Solid-state NMR technique for measuring distances between heteronuclei in static powder samples is described. It is based on a two-dimensional single-echo scheme enhanced with adiabatic cross polarization. As an example, the results for intramolecular distances in α-crystalline form of glycine are presented. The measured NMR distances Cα13–N15 and C′13–N15 are 1.496±0.002 and 2.50±0.02Å, respectively.
