[Influence of Concentration Sequence on the Signal-to-Noise Ratio of Cross Peaks of 2D Asynchronous Spectra Generated...

In the present work, computer simulation was performed on a model chemical system where two solutes (denoted as P and Q, respectively) are dissolved in the same solution. Under intermolecular interaction between P and Q, part of P undergoes subtle structural variation and converts into U while part of Q converts into V. The strength of intermolecular interaction can be characterized by the corresponding equilibrium constant K. Our preliminary studies indicate that the S/N ratio of cross peak increases considerably as n increases. Moreover, the S/N ratio of the cross peak from the asynchronous spectra can be improved significantly when the suitable concentrations of P and Q are adopted. This work is helpful for a selection of suitable concentration sequence to maximize S/N ratio of cross peaks in the 2D asynchronous spectra generated by using the DAOSD approach proposed in our previous study so that weak intermolecular interaction can be probed.
