Double quantum filter

Suppression of the tme diagonal peaks by double-quantum filtering (DQF-COSY) may resolve such problems. Finally, quantitative measurements of the magnitude of the coupling constants is possible using the Z-COSY modification, These experiments ate restricted to systems of abundant spins such as H, and which have reasonably narrow linewidths.

One problem associated with COSY spectra is the dispersive character of the diagonal peaks, which can obliterate the cross-peaks lying near the diagonal. Moreover, if the multiplets are resolved incompletely in the crosspeaks, then because of their alternating phases an overlap can weaken their intensity or even cause them to disappear. In double-quantum filtered COSY spectra, both the diagonal and the cross-peaks possess antiphase character, so they can be phased simultaneously to produce pure 2D absorption line...

Zheng et al. [1] postulated that the driving force for placing Zr and B on the same carbon might stem from interactions between the zirconium and oxygen or boron and chlorine atoms. However, an X-ray analysis of 22 revealed that there are no intra- or intermo-lecular interactions between any of these atoms [35]. Compound 22 was also unambiguously characterized by 1H-1H double quantum filtered COSY [36] and 13C-1H heteronuc-lear chemical shift correlation NMR spectroscopy [37,38]. Considerable differences in the chemical shifts of the diastereotopic Cp groups were found in both the XH and 13C NMR spectra. The NMR study unequivocally showed that the methine proton was at-... 

Sowinski and coworkers40 reported a structure of vacidin A (63), an aromatic hep-taene macrolide antibiotic. The constitution of vacidin A, a representative of the aromatic heptaene macrolide antibiotics, was established on the basis of 13C and H- H double quantum filtered correlated spectroscopy, rotating frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy, 7-resolved 11 as well as H-13C correlation NMR spectra. The geometry of the polyene chromophore was determined as 22E, 24E, 26E, 28Z, 30Z, 32E, 34E. 

The data from H NMR studies of 63, which included double quantum filtered phase sensitive correlated spectroscopy (DQF-COSY) and rotating frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY) experiments (Figure 12), are collected in Table 17.

These results suggest that the signals arise from dipole-dipole coupled protons. Kreis et al. confirmed this finding by measurements using one-dimensional zero- and double-quantum filtering, two-dimensional J-resolved spectroscopy, two-dimensional constant time COSY and longitudinal order separation... 

The double quantum filter eliminates or at least suppresses the strong signals from protons that do not experience J-coupling, e.g. the solvent signal, which would otherwise dominate the spectrum and possibly be a source of troublesome tl noise. Compared to a phase-sensitive but non-DQ-filtered COSY with pure absorption lineshapes for the cross peaks but mixed lineshapes for the diagonal peaks, the phase-sensitive, DQ-filtered COSY has pure absoiption lineshapes throughout. 

H/ H-double quantum filtered COSY Note that with this experiment both the diagonal and the cross peaks may be phased to pure absorption. Therefore it is best to select diagonal peaks at the extremes and in the center of the spectrum for phase adjustment. The cros.s peaks when correctly phased consist of positive and negative peaks, which are anti-phase with respect to the active, and are in-phase with respect to the passive coupling(s).

NMR spectroscopy was carried out using a Varian Unity 300MHz spectrometer. Peptides were dissolved in 500 pL of 90% H,O/10% D20 (or 100% D20) giving a sample concentration of 1-2 mM and the pH adjusted to 5.5.
