Abstract:
In this work we have tested applicability of the commonly used double quantum recoupling sequence POST-C7 to study of (31)P-(31)P geometrical constraints for phosphoroorganic model compounds with different chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) and distinct molecular dynamics in the crystal lattice. Our results clearly show that even with large CSA, POST-C7 gives good efficiency of (31)P double-quantum excitations. Moreover, large amplitude molecular motion only slightly disturb (31)P build-up curve. Chi(2) error analysis is used for verification of values and orientations of chemical shift tensors (CST) parameters employed for simulation of POST-C7 buildup curves.

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
