A Single-Scan Inhomogeneity-Tolerant NMR Method for High-Resolution Two-Dimensional J-Resolved Spectroscopy
IEEE Transactions on Bio-Medical Engineering
|October 19, 2018
Summary
A new NMR method, SGEN-J, rapidly records high-resolution 2D J-resolved spectra even in challenging magnetic fields. This technique aids molecular structure elucidation and real-time analysis of biological systems.
Area of Science:
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy
- Spectroscopic Techniques
Background:
- High-resolution 2D J-resolved NMR spectroscopy is crucial for molecular structure elucidation.
- Inhomogeneous magnetic fields present a significant challenge for traditional NMR methods, limiting spectral quality and real-time analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a robust and general single-scan NMR method, SGEN-J, for real-time recording of high-resolution 2D homonuclear J-resolved spectra.
- To demonstrate the method's effectiveness and applicability under inhomogeneous magnetic fields and in biological samples.
Main Methods:
- Developed SGEN-J by combining selective gradient encoding for chemical shift and spatial position encoding with J-modulation decoding for structural information.
- Implemented multi-band SGEN-J to enhance spectral sensitivity and maintain tolerance to field inhomogeneity.
Main Results:
- SGEN-J effectively recovers chemical shifts, J coupling constants, and multiplet patterns in inhomogeneous magnetic fields.
- Experiments on chemical solutions and pig marrow tissues validated the feasibility and effectiveness of SGEN-J for diverse samples.
- Demonstrated applicability to biological samples with intrinsic susceptibility variations.
Conclusions:
- SGEN-J complements existing 2D J-resolved NMR methodologies for molecular structure elucidation and biomedical studies.
- The method offers promising prospects for real-time in vivo biological system analysis and in situ chemical reaction monitoring.

01:19NMR Spectroscopy Of Amines
11.1K
In proton NMR spectroscopy, primary amines and secondary amines showcase their N–H protons as a broad signal in the chemical shift range between δ 0.5 and 5 ppm. The exact position in this range depends on several factors, including sample concentration, hydrogen bonding, and the type of solvent used. Since amine protons undergo fast proton exchange in solution, the protons are labile and therefore do not participate in any splitting with adjacent protons. Thus, the observed peak is...

01:192D NMR: Heteronuclear Single-Quantum Correlation Spectroscopy (HSQC)
1.4K
Heteronuclear single-quantum correlation spectroscopy (HSQC) is a 2D NMR technique that reveals one-bond correlations between hydrogen and a heteronucleus. The HSQC experiment is similar to the heteronuclear correlation experiment (HETCOR) but is more sensitive. In the HSQC spectrum, the proton chemical shift is plotted on the horizontal F2 axis, while the 13C chemical shift is plotted on the vertical F1 axis. The corresponding proton and 13C spectra are also shown. The HSQC contour plot does...

01:14NMR Spectroscopy of Aromatic Compounds
6.3K
Aromatic compounds can be identified or analyzed using proton NMR and carbon‐13 NMR. Typically, aromatic hydrogens or hydrogens directly bonded to the aromatic rings are strongly deshielded by the aromatic ring current. Therefore, they absorb in the range of 6.5–8.0 ppm in proton NMR spectra. For instance, aromatic hydrogens directly bonded to the benzene ring absorb at 7.3 ppm. However, aromatic hydrogens of larger rings absorb farther upfield or downfield than the ideal range.

01:34NMR Spectroscopy of Benzene Derivatives
11.2K
Simple unsubstituted benzene has six aromatic protons, all chemically equivalent. Therefore, benzene exhibits only a singlet peak at δ 7.3 ppm in the 1H NMR spectrum. The observed shift is far downfield because the aromatic ring current strongly deshields the protons. Any substitution on the benzene ring makes the aromatic protons nonequivalent, and the protons split each other. The peak is, therefore, no longer a singlet and the splitting pattern and their associated coupling...

01:12Two-Dimensional (2D) NMR: Overview
1.5K
The 1D NMR spectrum of large and complex molecules like natural products has complicated splitting patterns and overlapping signals, which can be easily interpreted using 2-dimensional (2D) NMR. Unlike 1D NMR, 2D NMR has two frequency axes that provide the coupling information between the nucleus A and nucleus B in a molecule. The process from which 2D spectra are obtained has four steps.
The first step is the preparation period, during which nucleus A is excited with a radiofrequency pulse....

01:15NMR Spectroscopy: Chemical Shift Overview
3.3K
The position of the absorption signal of a sample is reported relative to the position of the signal of tetramethylsilane (TMS), which is added as an internal reference while recording spectra. The difference between the absorption frequencies of the sample and TMS (in Hz) is divided by the spectrometer operating frequency (in MHz) to obtain a dimensionless quantity called the chemical shift. It is reported on the δ (delta) scale and expressed in parts per million.
For instance, the proton...
