Abstract:
Proton NMR two-dimensional 2-D spectra of binary mixtures, obtained with the correlation spectroscopy revamped by asymmetric Z gradient echo detection pulse sequence, were employed to test various assumptions usually adopted to describe the role of diffusion in intermolecular double quantum coherences. When two molecular species, with significantly different diffusivities, are considered, the relative amplitudes of the peaks, and their widths, furnish a stringent test that unveils some inadequacies in standard approximations.

Intermolecular Forces in Solutions
When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
