Heteronuclear multiple complex resonance

HSQC) or heteronuclear multiple quantum correlation (HMQC). The combined experiments such as 2D HSQC(HMQC)-TOCSY experiments are powerful tools for the assignment of the 13C and 11 resonances belonging to the same sugar residue providing enhanced dispersion of TOCSY correlations in the carbon dimension. More recendy, different carbon multiplicity editing methods, for example, DEPT (distortionless enhanced polarization transfer)-HMQC and E-HSQC, have been developed to reduce the complexity of proton-carbon correlation spectra and to enhance the resolution by narrowing the applied spectral window.11... 

A very efficient suppression of parent resonances can be achieved using the T filter. This, however, requires a rather careful tuning of the relaxation delay T (see Figure 8). If the jump and return inversion pulse is employed, the pulse sequence can be regarded as a selective version of the BIRD experiment [57-59]. Obviously, multiple-frequency selective inversion pulses may be necessary in the case of complex proton spectra. Usually the /-BIRD HMQC experiment gives cleaner spectra as compared with equivalent heteronuclear singlequantum coherence (HSQC) experiments, presumably because of fewer 180° pulses which are frequently a source of various artefacts.
