Pure In‐Phase Heteronuclear Correlation NMR Experiments

Abstract

A general NMR approach to provide pure in-phase (PIP) multiplets in heteronuclear correlation experiments is described. The implementation of a zero-quantum filter efficiently suppresses any unwanted anti-phase contributions that usually distort the multiplet pattern of cross-peaks and can hamper their analysis. The clean pattern obtained in PIP-HSQMBC experiments is suitable for a direct extraction of coupling constants in resolved signals, for a peak-fitting process from a reference signal, and for the application of the IPAP technique in non-resolved multiplets.
