TOCSY double-selective

Doubly selective ID-TOCSY experiments have been proposed to specifically transfer in-phase magnetization from two designated spins [57, 58]. This transfer will only take place if the two spins are connected by a scalar coupling. This method is achieved by using a double-selective spin-lock after the selective excitation of transverse magnetization of a desired spin. The doubly selective spin-lock can be obtained by using cosine-modulated... 

The double-selective TOCSY-ROESY and TOCSY-NOESY techniques are particularly useful. They allow one to measure NOE and ROE correlations in spectra with high degree of overlap as often found in carbohydrates. In addition to the DANTE, DANTE-Z [66], and Gaussian pulses as described earlier for selective excitation, self-refocusing shaped pulses such as BURP (EBURP and UBURP) [67] have also been used for this purpose [64].

(c), whereas the simultaneous observation of all correlation signals originating from a chain of an isotope labelled sample (d) is feasible by means of a HCa(Y)-CC-TOCSY sequence.39...
