Second frequency

The key dimension m NMR is the frequency axis All of the spectra we have seen so far are ID spectra because they have only one frequency axis In 2D NMR a stan dard pulse sequence adds a second frequency axis Only pulsed FT NMR spectrometers are capable of carrying out 2D experiments... 

First frequency listed corresponds to Fe-N(NCS) or Fe-N(NCSe) stretching vibration second frequency has been assigned to Fe-N(phen) or Fe-N(bpy) stretching vibration. 

In the solid, dynamics occurring within the kHz frequency scale can be examined by line-shape analysis of 2H or 13C (or 15N) NMR spectra by respective quadrupolar and CSA interactions, isotropic peaks16,59-62 or dipolar couplings based on dipolar chemical shift correlation experiments.63-65 In the former, tyrosine or phenylalanine dynamics of Leu-enkephalin are examined at frequencies of 103-104 Hz by 2H NMR of deuterated samples and at 1.3 x 102 Hz by 13C CPMAS, respectively.60-62 In the latter, dipolar interactions between the 1H-1H and 1H-13C (or 3H-15N) pairs are determined by a 2D-MAS SLF technique such as wide-line separation (WISE)63 and dipolar chemical shift separation (DIP-SHIFT)64,65 or Lee-Goldburg CP (LGCP) NMR,66 respectively. In the WISE experiment, the XH wide-line spectrum of the blend polymers consists of a rather featureless superposition of components with different dipolar widths which can be separated in the second frequency dimension and related to structural units according to their 13C chemical shifts.63... 

ACCORD-ADEQUATE spectrum using a 500-MHz spectrometer equipped with a 5-mm cryoprobe. The data were acquired as 180 hypercomplex points in the second frequency domain using 256 transients/fi increment. The broad 14-vinyl methylene resonance was located in the structure based on correlations in the ACCORD-ADEQUATE spectrum from H14 to C13 and from H12 to both Cll and C13. The C18 aromatic methine resonance afforded ADEQUATE correlations to the flanking C17 and C19 non-protonated carbons and, finally, the C23 methine provided a correlation to the C22 non-protonated carbon. 

Figure 9 1,/i-ADEQUATE spectrum of strychnine (1) optimized for 5 Hz. The data were acquired using a sample of 1.8 mg in 40 j.Lof deuterochloroform in a 1.7-mm NMR tube at 600 MHz using a 1.7-mm Micro CryoProbe. The data were acquired as IK x 160 points with 320 transients/q increment and a 3-s interpulse delay giving an acquisition time of 48 h 17 min. The data were linear predicted to IK points in the first dimension and from 160 to 512 point in the second frequency domain followed by zero-filling to give a final IK x IK data matrix. 

Figure 20 Timing diagram of the suggested 2y,3y-HMBC experiment, including a LPJF3 for efficient 1JCH suppression. The sequence is virtually identical to the CIGAR-HMBC pulse sequence. The STAR operator is also a constant-time variable element. In this fashion, scalable F, modulation can be specifically introduced for 2JCH cross-peaks into the spectrum independently of the digitization employed in the second frequency domain.

When performing 2D-NMR experiments one must keep in mind that the second frequency dimension (Fx) is digitized by the number of tx increments. Therefore, it is important to consider the amount of spectral resolution that is needed to resolve the correlations of interest. In the first dimension (F2), the resolution is independent of time relative to F. The only requirement for F2 is that the necessary number of scans is obtained to allow appropriate signal averaging to obtain the desired S/N. These two parameters, the number of scans acquired per tx increment and the total number of tx increments, are what dictate the amount of time required to acquire the full 2D-data matrix. 2D-homo-nuclear spectroscopy can be summarized by three different interactions, namely scalar coupling, dipolar coupling and exchange processes. 

Strongly overlapping multiplets may be resolved by two-dimensional J,<5-spectros-copy2" 11G 118, where the first frequency domain (F,) contains coupling and the second frequency domain (F2) chemical shift information. The spectrum in Figure 2 (homonuclear [JH H, 6 ( H)]) demonstrates the use of this technique by showing unperturbed multiplets for ll signals. Second-order effects are principally not eliminated. Heteronuclear experiments [7uc,<5(13C)] are also common. 

To obtain unbiased results we have calculated self-consistent values of the IS Lamb shift which are collected in last seven lines of Table 12.3. These values being formally consistent are rather widely scattered. Respective self-consistent values of the classic Lamb shift obtained from the experimental data in [31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36] are presented in Table 12.2. The uncertainty of the self-consistent Lamb shifts is determined by the uncertainties of experimentally measured frequencies used for their determination. Typically there are two such frequencies. One is usually fis-2s, and it is now measured with a very high accuracy of 1.8 parts in 10 [36]. The other frequency is measured less precisely and its experimental uncertainty determines the uncertainty of the self-consistent Lamb shifts. There are good experimental perspectives for measuring the second frequency with higher accuracy [33, 36].

The period is measured in seconds. The frequency, f, describes the number of wave cycles or oscillations that occur in one second. Frequency is sometimes represented with the lower case Greek letter nu (u). However, this letter looks... 

When the simple one-pulse experiment is again considered, there is only one time factor (or variable) that affects the spectrum, namely the acquisition time, f2. We now consider a multiple-pulse sequence in which the equilibration period is followed by two pulses with an intervening time interval, the final pulse being the irll acquisition pulse. Thus, we have inserted an evolution period between the pulses. If we now vary this evolution time interval (f3) over many different experiments and collect the resulting FIDs into one overall experiment, we have the basis of a 2-D experiment. Sequential Fourier transformation of these FIDs yields a set of spectra whose peak intensities vary sinusoidally. This first series of Fourier transformations result in the second frequency axis, v2, derived from the acquisition time, r2, of each FID. The data are now turned by 90°, and a second Fourier transformation is carried out at right angles to the first series of transformations. This second series of Fourier transformations result in the first frequency axis, iq, a function of the evolution time, f1 which you recall was changed (i.e., incremented) in the pulse sequence for each successive FID. 

In order to extract the QED or nuclear effects from the 1S-2S frequency, a second frequency must be known. The present uncertainty in the Lamb shift and Rydberg constant is determined by the accuracy of such a measurement. The most precise measurements have been made on transitions from 2S to higher levels in a super-thermal beam of metastable 2S atoms [19]. As will be described, ultracold hydrogen offers possibilities for significant improvements. 

Previously we have shown that the repetition rate of a mode locked laser equals the mode spacing to within the experimental uncertainty of a few parts in 1016 [26] by comparing it with a second frequency comb generated by an efficient electro-optic modulator [41]. Furthermore the uniform spacing of the modes was verified [26] even after further spectral broadening in a standard single mode fiber on the level of a few parts in 1018 [13]. To check the integrity of the femtosecond approach we compared the / 2/ interval frequency chain as sketched in Fig. 3 with the more complex version of Fig.4 [19]. We used the 848 nm laser diode of Fig. 4 and a second 848 nm laser diode locked to the frequency comb of the / 2/ chain. The frequencies of these two laser diodes measured relative to a quartz oscillator, that was used as a radio frequency reference for the frequency combs, are 353 504 624 750 000 Hz and 353 504 494 400 000 Hz for the / 2/ and the 3.5/ 4/ chain respectively. We expect a beat note between the two 848 nm laser diodes of 130.35 MHz which was measured with a radio frequency... 

Perhaps one of the first papers to be published demonstrating the application of pCoil NMR probe capabilities for dealing with the characterization of very small samples is to be found in the report by Subramanian et al 22 in 1999. The authors demonstrated the acquisition of HSQC data which < 100 nmol samples of several small molecules. For example, a very usable HSQC spectrum for a 13 pg sample of chloroquine (40 nmol) was acquired in 3.6 h. The authors also showed an HMQC spectrum recorded for a 27 pg sample of progesterone in 1.9 h. The latter spectrum, while certainly usable, could be improved by acquiring HSQC rather than HMQC data, and by increasing the number of files used to digitize the second frequency domain to improve Fi resolution. 

Potential errors arise from competing nuclear Overhauser effects, which can increase the intensities. Alternatively an nOe can be used to enhance the magnetization at a site and the enhancement can be transferred. This approach is more useful for C and NMR. Saturation of a resonance is straightforward for H NMR spectra since a second frequency can be readily set to allow saturation of a resonance before the 90° pulse is delivered to obtain the spectrum. For C and...
