Abstract

This paper deals with the complete interpretation of the heteronuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (HOESY) two dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment. This experiment aims at the determination of cross relaxation rates (having their origin in dipolar interactions) between two different nuclear species, here proton and carbon-13. Extra correlation peaks observed in the 2D map of the system under investigation (micellized sodium octanoate) are shown to arise from remote dipolar interactions and not from strong (J) coupling effects. Several experiments have been performed at different mixing times (during which the nuclear Overhauser effect builds up), allowing the observation of the whole carbon-13 magnetization evolution. Their analysis yields cross-relaxation rates, refined with respect to those derived from initial behavior. However, this requires inclusion of the effect of spin diffusion, within the proton spin system, in the data treatment. A novel approach is proposed which models the multiexponential character by means of effective proton relaxation parameters. All the results of this study are consistent with data obtained by other methods [nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) factor determinations and frequency dependent longitudinal 13C relaxation times).
