Incorporated diffusion ordered heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectroscopy, 3D iDOSY-HMBC. Merging of diffusion delay with long polarization transfer delay of HMBC

Abstract

3D iDOSY-HMBC pulse sequences allow the simplification of HMBC data of mixtures via separation in the diffusion domain. The presented methods utilize incorporated DOSY approach, iDOSY, where the existing delays of the basic pulse sequence are utilized for diffusion attenuation. In the simplest form of the proposed 3D iDOSY-HMBC sequences, no extra delays or RF-pulses were required, only two diffusion gradients were added within HMBC polarization transfer delay.
