In recent years evidence was presented that two radio frequency pulses in combination with suitably matched field gradient pulses produce cross peaks in two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy that reveal all the features of multiple-quantum/single-quantum coherence transfer signals. This experiment was termed CRAZED by Warren et al. Quite amazingly, identical signals were predicted on a purely classical basis. Thus the intriguing question arises whether this means that a classical analog to multiple-quantum coherences exists. In this study we show that this is clearly not the case. Coherence pathways of a purely single-quantum basis are excited anyway and lead independently to superimposed identical signals in parallel. Moreover, the observation of CRAZED signals per se neither disproves the adequacy of the high-temperature approximation, which was questioned in this context, nor proves a strong influence of intermolecular multiple-quantum coherences. However, the indispensable prerequisite for the description of the manifold CRAZED phenomena is that long-range dipolar interactions are taken into account either explicitly or in the continuous-limit form.
