COSY-grad

Parameter Set
COSYGPSW Pulse Sequence cosygpppqf
Experiment Description 
    • Phase sensitive 2D homonuclear shift correlation experiment using gradient pulses for selection and double quantum filter to remove uncoupled singlets.
    • Correlates chemical shifts of spins that have a mutual J-coupling that are 2 to 4 bonds apart.
    • Gradients eliminates the need for phase cycling and helps reduce T1 noise

Experiment Setup
    • Minimize spectral width in F2 dimension to cover entire spectrum and enter matching window in F1 dimension
    • Move o1p to center of spectral window
    • If T1 noise present, it usually comes from various sources such as instrument instability and temperature fluctuations.
Processing Notes 
    • Fourier transform with the command xfb
    • Symmetrize spectrum using the command syma
    • For improved resolution, can try applying linear prediction in the F1 dimension. In the ProcPars tab set the following parameters:
      • ME_mod = LPfr
      • NCOEF = 100
      • LPBIN = 896
