Abstract

The approach to the measurement of one-bond indirect spin–spin coupling constants between equivalent nuclei was revisited. The analytical formulas for development of the density matrix of strongly coupled symmetrical HC-C′H′ spin systems were derived and the optimal duration of polarization delay in the original 2QHMBC pulse sequence is discussed. Based on the analytical formulas a new version of a robust indirect detection experiment, called SYMONA (SYmmetrical MOlecules Natural Abundance double-quantum experiment), was proposed for carbon–carbon coupling constants detection in symmetrical molecules. Additionally, application of the SYMONA experiment to more complicated spin systems than isolated HC-C′H′ is discussed.
