Rotating-frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy

In order to combat this, the rotating frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY) techniques can be employed. An in-depth discussion of how this technique works is outside the remit of this book but suffice to say, in the ROESY methods (1- and 2-D), NOE data is acquired as if in a weak r.f. field rather than in a large, static magnetic field and this assures that all NOEs are present and positive, irrespective of tumbling rate and magnet size. It is possible that some TOCSY correlations can break through in ROESY spectra but these will have opposite phase to the genuine ROESY correlations and so should therefore not be a problem - unless they should overlap accidentally with them. A 2-D ROESY spectrum of the naphthalene compound is shown below (Spectrum 8.6). 

ROESY Rotating-frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy. A variation (one and two dimensional) on the nuclear Overhauser experiment (NOE). The techniques have the advantage of being applicable for all sizes of molecule. See Laboratory frame model. 

Various studies were focusing on the conformational behavior of the cinchonan carbamate selectors in free and complexed form, which could readily be derived from the dihedral coupling constant of the Hs-Hg protons ( /hsh9) and intramolecular NOEs as measured by 2D-NOESY [92,93] or two-dimensional rotating frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy (2D-ROESY) [65] spectra.

In Chapter 3 (Section 3.16), there is a description of the nuclear Overhauser effect difference experiment, an experiment that provides information about H— H through-space proximity. Review of this section is helpful before proceeding here. The ROESY experiment, rotating-frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy, is a useful 2-D analogue of the nuclear Overhauser effect difference experiment. This experiment is useful for molecules of all sizes whereas the related experiment, NOESY (nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy), is not very useful with small molecules. NOESY is used primarily with biological macromolecules. Both NOESY and ROESY experiments correlate protons that are close to each other in space, typically 4.5 A or less. 

Molecules in the transition area of molecular weight (2000-4000 Da depending on molecular shape, rigidity, and solvent viscosity) show little or no NOE. For these molecules an alternative experiment called ROES Y (rotating-frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy, Chapters 8 and 10) is effective. 

ROESY (rotating frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy) is a variant of NOESY, in which the transfer of magnetization occurs on the spin-lock axis in the x-y plane rather than on the z axis (Fig. B.9). A continuous low-power radio frequency pulse provides the mixing by effectively reducing the field strength (Bq in the laboratory frame on the z axis to B in...

NOESY and ROESY are the acronyms for nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy and rotation-frame Overhauser effect spectroscopy. 

The best way to avoid the l-cox problem (and weak nOes) is to use a rotating frame experiment, for instance ROESY (Rotating frame Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy) also named CAMELSPIN by its inventors (77). The (oXg dependence of rOes is complex and one may simply remember that rOes are always positive, never null. The ROESY sequence is similar to the sequence of HOHAHA the main difference is the power of the spinlock which is generated by a long soft pulse rather than by a WALTZ sequence. In ROESY experiments, rOe cross peaks may be accompanied by Hart-mann-Hahn correlations which are easily distinguished by their opposite sign (in phased experiments) (78). 

Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Correlation) and HMBC (Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation). Application of nuclear Overhauser effect (nOe) difference spectroscopy and nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) complete the analysis, giving atomic spatial relationships. Sensitivity problems can be alleviated using Homo Hartmann-Hahn spectroscopy (HOHAHA or TOCSY, Total Correlation Spectroscopy). For weak nOes a rotating frame experiment, i.e. ROESY (Rotating frame Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy) is useful, and may be the best experimental method to sequence chains of sugars [5].
