DEPT experiments distortionless

What are the differences between INEPT and DEPT experiments Why is DEPT considered a distortionless experiment ... 

In the DEPT experiment, all the signals of the insensitive nuclei are in phase at the start of acquisition, so no refocusing period A (with accompanying loss in sensitivity) is required. Since the multiplets appear in-phase, it is called a distortionless experiment. Moreover, DEPT spectra depend on the angle 0 of the last polarization transfer pulse, and are less dependent on the delay times between the pulses. An error of 20% in the estimation of/values still affords acceptable DEPT... 

Of the multitude of ID 13C NMR experiments that can be performed, the two most common experiments are a simple broadband proton-decoupled 13C reference spectrum, and a distortionless enhancement polarization transfer (DEPT) sequence of experiments [29]. The latter, through addition and subtraction of data subsets, allows the presentation of the data as a series of edited experiments containing only methine, methylene and methyl resonances as separate subspectra. Quaternary carbons are excluded in the DEPT experiment and can only be observed in the 13C reference spectrum or by using another editing sequence such as APT [30]. The individual DEPT subspectra for CH, CH2 and CH3 resonances of santonin (4) are presented in Fig. 10.9. 

The imaging of conversion within the fixed bed was achieved by using a distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) spectroscopy pulse sequence integrated into an imaging sequence, as shown in Fig. 44. In theory, a signal enhancement of up to a factor of 4 (/hZ/c 7i is the gyromagnetic ratio of nucleus i) can be achieved with DEPT. In this dual resonance experiment, initial excitation is on the H channel. Consequently, the repetition time for the DEPT experiment is constrained by Tih (< T lc) where Tn is the Ty relaxation time of... 

The 13C chemical shifts were assigned in more detail for monosulfidic and polysulfidic crosslinks occurring in the accelerated sulfur vulcanisation of NR [18]. The NR was cured with a pure thiuram formulation (TMTD alone) in order to predominantly prepare monosulfidic bridges in the network. The distortionless enhancement by polarisation transfer (DEPT) experiments, in which the carbons with different level of protonation can be distinguished [22-24], were performed for the NR cured with extended levels of sulfur. Based on the DEPT results and previously reported model compound results [20], the chemical shifts of the resonances occurring in the spectra were assigned.

The distortionless enhanced polarization transfer (DEPT) experiment is a carbon selectivity experiment.HO-116 Depending on the pulse length selected, one can selectively observe different types of carbon entities. We recommend setting the DEPT proton pulse length to 135°. In this case, quaternary carbons are suppressed, methylenes are inverted, and methine and methyl carbons... 

The DEPT experiment [33] (Distortionless Enhancement by Polarisation Transfer) is the most widely used polarisation transfer editing experiment in carbon-13 spectroscopy, although its application is certainly not limited to the proton-carbon combination. It enables the complete determination of all carbon multiplicities, as does the refocused INEPT discussed above, but has a number of distinct advantages. One of these is that it directly produces multiplet patterns in proton-coupled carbon spectra that match those obtained from direct observation, meaning methylene carbons display the familiar 1 2 1 and methyl carbons the 1 3 3 1 intensity patterns this is the origin of the term distortionless . However, for most applications proton decoupling is applied during acquisition and multiplet structure is of no consequence, so the benefits of DEPT must lie elsewhere. 

Two important 1-D experiments that make use of J-couplings are the attached proton test (AIT) and the distortionless enhancement through polarization transfer (DEPT) experiment. Both the APT and DEPT experiments provide information about whefber or not the observed nucleus—virtually always —is protonated, and if so,... 

The NMR signals of insensitive nuclear spins can be enhanced by transferring polarization from a more sensitive species to which they are coupled. The well-known pulse sequences as the polarization transfer techniques are insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (INEPT), distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT), and reverse insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (RINEPT) The INEPT sequence is an alternative to the nuclear Overhauser effect. The INEPT experiment does not require any particular relaxation mechanism and therefore a better enhancement factor can be obtained. Furthermore it is demonstrated that INEPT sequence can be used to determine the multiplicity of each signal in a NMR spectrum. More recently, the INEPT and DEPT experiments were used for the coherence transfer via heteronuclear J-coupling between spin-1/2 and quadrupolar nuclei in the solids. " Fyfe et showed that coherence transfer via the scalar coupling between spin-1/2 and quadrupolar nuclei can be obtained in the solid state by using INEPT experiment.

Just as important as these developments in magnet design has been the introduction of pulsed Fourier transform methods, for these permit the performance of new types of experiment by the computerised systems that control the production, acquisition and processing of the experimental data. New pulse sequences increasingly made available by instrument manufacturers within their software suites permit the routine performance of these new experiments an early example is the distortionless enhancement polarisation transfer, or DEPT, experiment to identify the number of protons attached to a carbon by controlling the final... 

The DEPT experiment, or distortionless enhanced polarization transfer, is a carbon selectivity experiment. ° ° ° Depending on the pulse length selected, one can selectively observe different types of carbon entities. We recommend setting the DEPT proton pulse length to 135°. In this case, quarternary carbons are suppressed, methylenes are inverted, and methine and methyl carbons appear upright. Methines and methyls are distinguished based on chemical shift and 2D proton correlations. Methines usually appear downfield of methyls. Alternatively, if time permits, the entire series of DEPT experiments can be performed to conclusively distinguish methine from methyl resonances. One second is a reasonable default value for the recycle time. The spectrum should be set to capture the resonances of interest with 32-64 K data points and four dummy scans. While this is an easily interpreted data set, the multiplicity edited HSQC provides much more robust information, both multiplicity as well and the one-... 

Population transfer experiments may be selective or nonselective. Selective population transfer experiments have found only limited use for signal multiplicity assignments (SSrensen et al, 1974) or for determining signs of coupling constants (Chalmers et al., 1974 Pachler and Wessels, 1973), since this is better done by employing distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) or Correlated Spectroscopy (COSY) experiments. However, nonselective population transfer experiments, such as INEPT or DEPT (presented later) have found wide application. 

DEPT (distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer) A onedimensional C-NMR experiment commonly used for spectral editing that allows us to distinguish between CH, CH2, CH, and quaternary carbons. Detectable magnetization The magnetization processing in the x y -plane induces a signal in the receiver coil that is detected. Only single-quantum coherence is directly detectable. 

One-dimensional111 and 13C NMR experiments usually provide sufficient information for the assignment and identification of additives. Multidimensional NMR techniques and other multipulse techniques (e.g. distortionless enhancement of polarisation transfer, DEPT) can be used, mainly to analyse complicated structures [186]. 

The first of these tools is the distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT) pulse sequence. There are a number of versions of this experiment which can be very useful for distinguishing the different types of carbons within a molecule. Of these, we have found the DEPT 135 sequence to be the most useful. In this experiment, the quaternary carbons are edited out of the spectrum altogether. 

The 13C NMR spectrum of 64, an amide of 63, showed sixty-two carbon signals of which partial assignments, shown in Table 16, were made based upon distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer(DEPT), H-13C correlation experiments and literature data describing 13C NMR analysis of polyene macrolides. 

The carbon and DEPT (distortionless enhanced polarization transfer) spectra are shown in Figure 10. The HETCOR (heteronuclear two-dimensional proton-carbon correlation) spectrum is shown in Figure 11. The carbon assignments are listed in Table 5. Long-range HETCOR experiments were used to make the assignments for the thiophene carbons.

NMR spectra have been used frequently to elucidate and/or confirm the structures of these heterocycles, but little or no systematic study had been done. A detailed study of l3C NMR spectra by distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT), inverse H-I3C coherence transfer experiments (HMQC and HMBC) and by INADEQUATE of factor F0 has been reported <91JBC9622>. The 13C NMR spectra of a series of pyrido[4,3-J]pyrimidines were interpreted on the basis of a detailed study of other analogues <91JCS(P2)1559>. Carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy has been used to indicate the site of alkylation of pyrido[2,3-c]pyridazin-4-ones <90CPB3359>. 

Now we are prepared to combine the APT (Section 12.10) and INEPT (Section 12.11.2) experiments into one of the most useful experiments in modem NMR. Like an APT spectrum, a DEPT (distortionless enhancement by population transfer) 13C spectrum is designed to display separate subspectra for CH, CH2, and CH3 carbon signals. And like an INEPT spectrum, signal intensity (i.e., sensitivity) arises by polarization transfer.
