A method for measurement of spin-spin couplings with sub-mHz precision using zero- to ultralow-field nuclear magnetic resonance.

2017

We present a method which allows for the extraction of physical quantities directly from zero- to ultralow-field nuclear magnetic resonance (ZULF NMR) data. A numerical density matrix evolution is used to simulate ZULF NMR spectra of several molecules in order to fit experimental data. The method is utilized to determine the indirect spin-spin couplings ($J$-couplings) in these, which is achieved with precision of $10^{-2}$--$10^{-4}$ Hz. The simulated and measured spectra are compared to earlier research. Agreement and precision improvement for most of the $J$-coupling estimates are achieved. The availability of an efficient, flexible fitting method for ZULF NMR enables a new generation of…

NMR spectroscopy in environmental chemistry:1H and13C NMR parameters of tricyclic polychlorinated C10 hydrocarbons and their oxy derivatives based on…

1999

Two-dimensional homo- and heteronuclear NMR chemical shift correlation techniques were applied in the characterization of five tricyclic polychlorinated C10 hydrocarbons, chlordene (1), heptachlor (2), trans-nonachlor (3), α-chlordene (4) and γ-chlordene (5), which are spread globally in the environment owing to their use as insecticides. Approximate and partly contradictory 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts reported in the literature were corrected in this work. The chemical shift assignments of 1–5 were based on DQF COSY, HMQC and HMBC experiments. In addition, an INADEQUATE experiment was needed to ascertain the 13C chemical shifts assignment of 2. The nJ(H,H)s of 1–5 were solved by compute…

1H and13C NMR assignments and conformational analysis of some podocarpene derivatives

2000

This paper reports on the assignment of the 1 Ha nd 13 C NMR spectra of five podocarpene derivatives. Resonance assignments were made on the basis of one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques which included 1 H, 13 C, DEPT and HMQC and also 1D NOE difference spectroscopy. The ratio of the different conformers in the six- membered C-ring of the podocarpene system was determined by molecular mechanics calculations and analysis of proton spin-spin coupling constants.

13C NMR spectroscopy of four tertiary methyl norbornenols and norbornanols

1975

Carbon chemical shifts and direct 13C1H coupling constants of 2-endo-methyl-5-norbornen-2-exo-ol, 2-exo-methyl-5-norbornen-2-endo-ol, 2-endo-methylnorbornan-2-exo-ol and 2-exo-methylnorbornan-2-endo-ol have been measured from single samples using a dual probe pulse Fourier transform method.

Solid state NMR studies of gels derived from low molecular mass gelators

2016

The emergence of NMR crystallography provides a unique opportunity to study solids, gels and xerogels, thereby providing ample information to elucidate molecular packing in the native gel. This review details the importance as well as the application of solid state NMR spectroscopy combined with other analytical tools to study gels derived from low molecular mass organo- and hydrogelators.

13C and15N NMR study of substituted 1,2,4-triazines

1995

13C and 15N NMR spectra of eight substituted 1,2,4-triazines were measured and assigned. The assignments of the 13C NMR spectra were based on the substituent chemical shifts and nJ(C,H) coupling constants. 15N NMR chemical shifts generally showing well separated ranges were assigned by the proton coupled 15N NMR spectra. 15N NMR chemical shifts of N-4 in 3- and 5-methoxy or -thiomethyl-substituted 1,2,4-triazines were found to be related significantly (confidence level >99%) with the π-charge at N-4 calculated by a semi-empirical molecular orbital (AM1) procedure. For the 15N NMR chemical shifts of N-1 and N-2, no reliable correlations with the molecular electronic properties such as AM1 π-…

Far-off-resonance averaging of dipolar interactions in solids

1997

Abstract The far-off-resonance performance of several line-narrowing sequences is investigated. Both theoretically and experimentally, it is found that transverse relaxation times, dominated by dipole–dipole interactions, are most effectively prolonged not only on-resonance but also for certain, generally large, resonance offsets. These correspond to a situation when, during the basic pulse separation, the frequency offset rotates the toggling-frame Hamiltonian by multiples of 180°. The implications of these results for the study of macroscopic translational diffusion using static-field-gradient NMR are discussed.

Towards the time-optimal control of dissipative spin-1/2 particles in nuclear magnetic resonance

2011

International audience; We consider the time-optimal control of a spin 1/2 particle whose dynamics is governed by the Bloch equations with both longitudinal and transverse relaxation terms. We solve this control problem by using geometric optimal control techniques. We show the crucial role of singular extremals in the time-optimal synthesis. This role can mainly be attributed to the presence of dissipation. We also analyze the robustness of the optimal control sequence when both the maximum amplitude of the control field and the dissipative parameters are varied. Finally, we present an experimental implementation of the different solutions using techniques of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.

Solid-state 1H-NMR relaxation properties of the fruit of a wild relative of eggplant at different proton Larmor frequencies

2009

1H longitudinal relaxation time profiles (T1) at different proton Larmor frequencies were registered for a solid state plant tissue by using fast field cycling (FFC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. T1 distributions were obtained and the curves deconvoluted in order to differentiate among the different T1 components. Among the components, two were assigned to hydrophobic (e.g. fatty acids) and hydrophilic (e.g. saccharides) molecular systems, whereas the remaining others were attributed to bulk and bound water. This paper showed for the first time solid state FFC-NMR spectroscopy applied to plant tissue, and revealed that relaxometry is a very promising technique for studying …
