Temperature calibration of MAS probes above RT

We need to calibrate the temperature of our various MAS probes in VT
experiments above room temperature. I know we can monitor the
melting (or other phase transitions) of a standard compound, but
this only gives a two point calibration curve (room temperature and
the melting temperature) and the methanol/TMSS method and samarium
acetete are good below RT only. Is there a compound out there that
has temperature dependent shifts like samarium acetate that can be
used above RT? Has anyone found another method for calibration?

Thanks,
