Cross-couplings

The number of NMR parameters available for measurement is rather small, consisting of the chemical shift, relaxation rates (/1 and lo), scalar (J) couplings, dipolar (D) couplings, cross-relaxation rates (the NOE), and hydrogen exchange rates. All of these have been quantified for many of the amide protons of A131 A, and most of the data suggest the presence of little persistent structure.

The simulated double-quantum coherence 2D INADEQUATE spectrum of 2-chlorobutane is shown in Figure 13.18. The normal 13C spectrum is plotted along the top. Only the cross peaks appear in the contour plot, and each cross peak appears as a doublet (a pair of dots) at this level of resolution. The separation between these dots, about 35 Hz in this case, is /Cc- Each pair of correlated (by one-bond coupling) cross peaks is indicated by a separate dotted horizontal line, with the midpoint of each line on the diagonal. The F axis is the double-quantum frequency, essentially the sum of the 8v values of the two coupled nuclei. 

The last term of Eq. (1.72) accounts from coupling (cross terms) between the above factors. So, one might inclnde the coupling that can exist, for example, between two bond stretches or between a bond stretch and an angle bend.

Fig. 2. Structure determination by NMR. Labelled samples are prepared by chemical or biochemical means. Application of multidimensional NMR pulse sequences delivers the assignment of the resonances. By measuring H,H distances from NOE or ROE, J couplings, cross-correlated relaxation rates, dipolar couplings, and chemical shifts, restraints are derived that can be used for structure calculation.

The great majority of reactions in fluid media are best treated in terms of the vibronically coupled crossings between potential-energy surfaces of reactant and product electronic configurations. Thus, presuming the preassembly of reactants and a Born-Oppenheimer separation of electronic and nuclear motions, the electron-transfer rate constant can usually be represented as in equation (1), where...
