As a result of our continuing quest to apply β-NMR to biomolecular and chemical studies, we report here the measurement of the magnetic moment of 26Na with a few ppm precision. This also led to an improved precision on the magnetic moments of 27-30Na. This achievement was made possible by the previously reported 2018 upgrades to the β-NMR setup [IsoWork18], which resulted in an improvement in the long-term stability and homogeneity of the magnetic field to ppm level and decreased the sample replacement time. The use of a suitable liquid host compatible with the vacuum environment of β-NMR experiments. New ab initio calculations of the NMR shielding constants of sodium and conventional NMR reference measurements of 1H and 23Na. The results connect the NMR frequencies of short-lived Na isotopes to that of stable nuclei, paving the way for their use in biochemical applications, where ppm precision is important to determine the chemical environment.
Furthermore, this approach can be applied to other isotopic chains, which can open the way for many other applications of β-NMR in biochemical research, nuclear-structure studies or fundamental research.
