Parallel Acquisition of Two-Dimensional NMR Spectra of Several Nuclear Species

Abstract

We show that two or more two-dimensional NMR correlation spectra can be recorded in a single shot, using a multicoil radio-frequency probe and receiver system designed for simultaneous parallel acquisition of signals from different nuclear species such as 1H, 13C, and 15N. Dubbed PANSY (parallel acquisition NMR spectroscopy), this new technique shows promise for recording several multidimensional NMR spectra of different nuclear species in a very short time.
