Taking these methylene groups into account, interpretation of the HH COSY plot leads directly to the HH relationships C even if the protons at Sh = 2.34 and 4.58 do not show the expected cross signals because their intensity is spread over the many multiplet lines of these signals. 

Increasing the number of dimensions from two to three may result in a reduction in the signal/noise (S/N) ratio. This may be due either to the distribution of the intensity of the multiplet lines over three dimensions or to some of the coherence transfer steps being inefficient, resulting in weak 3D cross-peaks. 

When several magnetically equivalent nuclei are present in a radical, some of the multiplet lines appear at exactly the same field position, i.e., are degenerate , resulting in variations in component intensity. Equivalent spin-1/2 nuclei such as 1H, 19F, or 31P result in multiplets with intensities given by binomial coefficients (1 1 for one nucleus, 1 2 1 for two, 1 3 3 1 for three, 1 4 6 4 1 for four, etc.). One of the first aromatic organic radical anions studied by ESR spectroscopy was the naphthalene anion radical,1 the spectrum of which is shown in Figure 2.2. The spectrum consists of 25 lines, a quintet of quintets as expected for hyperfine coupling to two sets of four equivalent protons. 

For the measurement of cross-correlated relaxation rates, there are mainly three methods that have been used in practice. In the /-resolved constant time experiment, the multiplet Hnes exhibiting differential relaxation are resolved by the f couplings, and the line width is translated into intensity in a constant time experiment (Fig. 7.19a,d). In the J-resolved real time experiment the line width of each multiplet line is measured instead (Fig. 7.19b, d). This experiment has been applied so far only for the measurement of... 

Then, each of the correlation peaks exhibits a doublet of doublet structure along co2 because of the evolution of the (H.N) and the 1J(Ca,Ha) coupling during t. The intensity of the individual multiplet lines is affected by the dipole, dipole cross-correlated relaxation rate rcHN c H as well as the sums of two dipole/CSA cross-correlated relaxation rates r°HN C + rcHN N and r°c H c + r°c H N. By forming the ratios...

The most recent calculations, however, of the photoemission final state multiplet intensity for the 5 f initial state show also an intensity distribution different from the measured one. This may be partially corrected by accounting for the spectrometer transmission and the varying energy resolution of 0.12, 0.17, 0.17 and 1,3 eV for 21.2, 40.8, 48.4, and 1253.6 eV excitation. However, the UPS spectra are additionally distorted by a much stronger contribution of secondary electrons and the 5 f emission is superimposed upon the (6d7s) conduction electron density of states, background intensity of which was not considered in the calculated spectrum In the calculations, furthermore, in order to account for the excitation of electron-hole pairs, and in order to simulate instrumental resolution, the multiplet lines were broadened by a convolution with Doniach-Sunjic line shapes (for the first effect) and Gaussian profiles (for the second effect). The same parameters as in the case of the calculations for lanthanide metals were used for the asymmetry and the halfwidths ... 

The intensities of the multiplet lines arise from the number of spin configurations belonging to each total spin (Fig. 1.12). For n coupling nuclei X the intensity ratios are equal to the nlh binominal coefficients (Table 1.3). 

Line and multiplet strengths are useful theoretical characteristics of electronic transitions, because they are symmetric, additive and do not depend on the energy parameters. However, they are far from the experimentally measured quantities. In this respect it is much more convenient to utilize the concepts of oscillator strengths and transition probabilities, already directly connected with the quantities measured experimentally (e.g. line intensities). Oscillator strength fk of electric or magnetic electronic transition aJ — a J of multipolarity k is defined as follows ... 

The experiment is very simple—one line of a multiplet is selectively inverted (by a selective 180° pulse of duration r) immediately before the usual non-selective read pulse is applied and the FID sampled. The Fourier transform then yields the whole spectrum with altered line intensities. Populations of the energy levels connected by the selectively irradiated line are changed (inverted) by the selective pulse, and this leads to changes in... 

But what about the signal for Hc It will be split by both Hb as well as the three methyl hydrogens. Suppose that Vbc > Vcd. Each line of the doublet due to coupling with Hb will be split further into a quartet by the three methyl hydrogens, as in Figure 8.7. This multiplet is called a doublet of quartets, and the line intensity ratio is 1 3 3 1 1 3 3 1. 

Next, consider the molecule D2CH2. Each of the two D nuclei can adopt three orientations. Therefore, two D nuclei can adopt nine [(21 + l)2] spin combinations corresponding to five (2nl + 1) spin states (M = 2, 1, 0, -1, -2). These are shown in Figure 8.12. Notice that the 1 2 3 2 1 population ratio of these states (which is the same as the relative intensity of the multiplet lines coupled to them) is different from that predicted by Pascal s triangle, which only applies to 7 = nuclei. At any rate, the H spectrum of D2CH2 shows a five-line pattern, with intensity ratio 1 2 3 2 1 and line spacing 2yHD.
