Perfect Echo HMQC: Sensitivity and Resolution Enhancement by Broadband Homonuclear Decoupling

Quantum Physics 2015-06-15 v1 Chemical Physics

Abstract

Homonuclear 1H-1H J-modulation leads to J-multiplets in F1 dimension of 2D 1H-13C HMQC spectra. This hampers unambiguous signal assignment for overcrowded 13C spectra. Broadband homonuclear decoupling has been achieved in the indirect t1 evolution period by incorporating blocks of perfect echo. This method enhances resolution and sensitivity of 2D 1H-13C HMQC spectra. The results on Cyclosporine demonstrate that the method is very efficient for -13CH2 groups, though partial sensitivity and resolution enhancements have also been observed for -13CH and -13CH3 groups. Interpretation of the result based on product operator formalism is also given.
