HMBC-grad

Parameter Set
HMBCGP Pulse Sequence hmbcgplpndqf
Experiment Description 
    • Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation Spectroscopy with gradient selection. J filter to suppress one-bond couplings. No decoupling during acquisition.
    • Correlates chemical shifts of 1H nuclei multiple bonds away from 13C sites

Experiment Setup
    • Use getprosol or prosol button to read in proper pulse parameters
    • Set cnst2 = 1JCHcoupling constant: default cnst2 = 145 Hz
    • Set cnst13 = nJCH longest range coupling constant: default cnst13 = 10 Hz
Processing Notes 
    • Fourier transform with the command xfb
    • Manually phase F2 and F1 dimensions
    • Use commands abs2 and abs1 for baseline correction
    • For improved resolution, can try applying linear prediction in the F1 dimension. In the ProcPars tab set the following parameters:
      • ME_mod = LPfr
      • NCOEF = set to 3 times the number of cross peaks in your spectrum.   
      • LPBIN = 2*TD(in F1)
      • Fourier transform the spectrum again with xfb
