Title: Method for recording two dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectra and a device for carrying out the same

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5381527

In recording two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, J cross peaks which hinder the interpretation of the spectragram and mask cross peaks of incoherent exchange processes or transfers are eliminated by one of two methods. In the first method, for each repetition of a measurement with an evolution period t/sub 1/ between the first and second of two successive 90 degree pulses, the interval between the second and third 90 degree pulse (mixing time t /SUB m/ ) is varied systematically in proportion to the evolution period. The two-dimensional spectra obtained is subjected to triangular multiplication or symmetrization so that all peaks which do not possess counterparts at the mirror symmetry positions of the main diagonal are eliminated. In the second method, the mixing time is kept constant and a 180 degree pulse is inserted between the second and third 90 degree pulse with a varying interval t /SUB p/ between the 180 degree pulse and the second 90 degree pulse for each repetition of a measurement. A spectrometer for carrying out this method permits critical parameters to be adjusted.
