Background:

  • Translational diffusion measurements are crucial for analyzing supramolecular complexes and molecular aggregation states.
  • Pulsed field gradients (PFG) NMR is a standard technique for measuring diffusion coefficients.
  • Traditional PFG NMR methods can be time-consuming, especially for complex mixtures due to spectral overlap and the need for multiple spectra.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a more efficient method for measuring individual diffusion coefficients in complex mixtures.
  • To overcome the limitations of time-consuming 2D NMR experiments for diffusion measurements.
  • To enable the characterization of molecular association states in challenging samples.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a new version of accordion spectroscopy.
