Abstract
The detection of ultra-long-range (4JCH and higher) heteronuclear connectivities can complement the conventional use of HMBC/HSQMBC data in structure elucidation NMR studies of proton-deficient natural products, where two-bond and three-bond correlations are usually observed. The performance of the selHSQMBC experiment with respect to its broadband HSQMBC counterpart is evaluated. Despite its frequency-selectivity nature, selHSQMBC efficiently prevents any unwanted signal phase and intensity modulations due to passive proton-proton coupling constants typically involved in HSQMBC. As a result, selHSQMBC offers a significant sensitivity enhancement and provides pure in-phase multiplets, improving the detection levels for short- and long-range cross-peaks corresponding to small heteronuclear coupling values. This is particularly relevant for experiments optimized to small nJCH values (2-3 Hz), referred to as LR-selHSQMBC, where key cross-peaks that are not visible in the equivalent broadband LR-HSQMBC spectrum can become observable in optimum conditions.

Abstract
The heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence in the indirect dimension of the two-dimensional HMQC experiment evolves under the passive 1H-1H J-couplings leading to multiplet structures in the F1 dimension. Besides, 1H-1H J-multiplets appear in the direct dimension as well. Thus, multiplets along both dimensions lower the resolution and sensitivity of this technique, when high resolution is required along both dimensions. An efficient broadband homodecoupling scheme along the F1 dimension of the HMQC experiment has not been realized to date. We have implemented broadband homonuclear decoupling using bilinear rotation decoupling (BIRD) by adding a 1H SQ evolution period followed by BIRD before the 1H-13C multiple-quantum evolution period in the HMQC. In the direct time domain, BIRD is implemented using a real-time or single-scan scheme, which further improves resolution and sensitivity of this technique. The resulting pure shift HMQC provides singlet peak per chemical site along F1 as well as F2 axes and, hence, better resolution and sensitivity than conventional HMQC spectrum for all peaks except diastereotopic methylene protons. Due to the incorporation of the BIRD, the indirect time domain becomes double in length compared to the conventional HMQC. However, slow relaxation of small molecules favors better sensitivity for ps-HMQC relative to conventional HMQC under all conditions. We also found that the sensitivity of ps-HMQC is only slightly less than ps-HSQC for small molecules.

Abstract
Band selective techniques offer the highest sensitivity of all pure shift approaches and thus are the best choice for decoupling well-separated 1 H-frequency regions, such as the amide- or the α-proton region of α-peptides. They are inept to fully decouple the amide- and the α-proton region simultaneously, though. Herein, we present a new homonuclear decoupling technique, which extends the capabilities of band selective decoupling using the perfect echo principle. This modification allows a complete backbone decoupling (amide- and α-protons) in peptides and opens band selective homonuclear decoupling to substances with two mutually coupled protons in the spectral range of interest.

Abstract
Long-range heteronuclear coupling constants convey invaluable information for stereochemical and conformational analysis of molecules from synthetic and natural origin. Here, we report a real-time Zangger-Sterk CPMG-HSQMBC method for the precise and direct measurement of multiple-bond heteronuclear couplings. It is demonstrated that the real-time acquisition strategy combined with multiple slice selective excitation can provide substantial improvement in sensitivity (or reduction of experimental time) as compared to other variants of broadband homonuclear decoupled HSQMBC methods published previously. Scope and limitations of the different strategies applied for decoupling are reviewed. Moreover, practical guidelines for the choice of the most appropriate method are also presented. Applications are given on a metal complex incorporating P-heterocycles and two diglycosyl-selenides for the extraction of n J(1 H, 31 P) and n J(1 H, 77 Se), respectively.

Abstract
Novel two dimensional Hadamard encoding/decoding based pure shift NMR acquisition techniques (TOCSY and HSQC) have been developed, which provide chemical shift information at ultra high resolution in very short spectrometer times. The efficacy of these methods for rapid assignment of chemical shifts in complex NMR spectra of organic molecules/natural products has been demonstrated. This would be of great help for rapid analysis of samples during separation of complex mixtures.

Abstract
Motivated by the persisting need for enhanced resolution in solution state NMR spectra, pure shift techniques such as Zangger-Sterk decoupling have recently attracted widespread interest. These techniques for homonuclear decoupling offer enhanced resolution in one- and multidimensional proton detected experiments by simplifying multiplet structures. In this work, a modification to the popular Zangger-Sterk technique PEPSIE (Perfect Echo Pure Shift Improved Experiment) is presented, which decouples pairs of spins even if they share the same volume element. This in turn can drastically improve the sensitivity, as compared to classical Zangger-Sterk decoupling, as larger volume elements can be used to collect the detected signal. Most interestingly, even in the presence of moderate strong coupling, the PEPSIE experiment produces clean and widely artifact free spectra. In order to better understand this - to us initially - surprising behaviour we performed analyses using numerical simulations and derived an (approximate) analytical solution from density matrix formalism. We show that this experiment is particularly suitable to study samples with strong signal clustering, a situation which can render classic Zangger-Sterk decoupling inefficient.

Abstract
Recently, pure shift NMR methods have delivered ultrahigh resolution broadband proton NMR spectra that display singlet peak per chemical site. BASH/HOBS (band selective homo-decoupling/homonuclear band selective) decoupling is the only method that provides singlet only spectrum for a selected signal or a group of signals with a sensitivity higher than regular proton NMR, and an order of magnitude higher than broadband pure shift techniques. It is this aspect that makes this technique important. In the present work, we show that perfect echo (PE) when combined with band selective homo-decoupling (BASHD) permits increasing the bandwidth of the BASH/HOBS decoupling resulting in reduced experimental time for this class of experiments. Using new PE-BASHD technique two closely resonating coupled signals could be decoupled in a single experiment which otherwise demands two separate BASHD experiments. In polypeptides, it also allows decoupling of Hα and HN signals simultaneously from each other as well as from the side chain protons reducing experimental time. Further, pseudo 2D based PE-BASHD scheme provides spectrum superior to the real-time BASHD spectrum when applied to closely resonating coupled signals. Numerical simulation as well as experimental results indicate that the PE-BASHD sequence display good quality singlet only spectrum even in the presence of moderate strong coupling. Perfecting Echo Band Selective Homo-decoupling (PE-BASHD) reduces experimental time by performing simultaneous homo-decoupling of two closely resonating coupled signals.![]()

Abstract
A diagonal suppressed F1 decoupled total correlation spectroscopy(TOCSY) experiment is developed for analyses of complex mixtures. In 2D homonuclear correlation, assignment of the cross peaks is crucial for structure elucidation. However, when cross peaks are close to the diagonal peaks in overcrowded spectral regions, their assignment becomes tedious. In complex mixtures, the presence of multiple spectra along with broad and complex proton multiplets owing to homonuclear scalar couplings degrade the resolution to the extent that assignment of various cross peaks becomes tedious or impossible. Herein, a diagonal suppressed total correlation technique with F1 decoupling is presented to improve the resolution of the cross peaks. The resolution of the cross peaks is improved by both diagonal suppression as well as the collapse of the multiplets to singlets. Application of the method to a few mixtures of organic compounds reveals better identification of the cross peaks relative to other TOCSY variants.

Abstract
NMR techniques incorporating pure shift methods to improve signal resolution have recently attracted much attention, owing to their potential use in studies of increasingly complex molecular systems. Extraction of frequencies from these simplified spectra enables easier structure determination, but only a few of the methods presented provide structural parameters derived from signal integral measurements. In particular, for quantification of the nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) it is highly desirable to utilize pure shift techniques where signal overlap normally prevents accurate signal integration, to enable measurement of a larger number of interatomic distances. However, robust methods for the measurement of interatomic distances using the recently developed pure shift techniques have not been reported to date. In this work we discuss some of the factors determining the accuracy of measurements of signal integrals in interferogram-based Zangger-Sterk (ZS) pure shift NMR experiments. The ZS broadband homodecoupling technique is used in different experiments designed for quantitative NOE determination from pure shift spectra. It is shown that the techniques studied can be used for quantitative extraction of NOE-derived distance restraints, as exemplified for the test case of strychnine.

Abstract
Long-range heteronuclear scalar coupling constants provide important structural information, which is necessary for obtaining stereospecific assignment or dihedral angle information. The measurement of small proton-carbon splittings is particularly difficult due to the low natural abundance of carbon-13 and the presence of homonuclear couplings of similar size. Here we present a real-time J-upscaled HSQMBC, which allows the measurement of heteronuclear coupling constants even if they are hidden in the signal linewidth of a regular spectrum.

Abstract
Precise assignments of (1) H atomic sites and establishment of their through-bond COSY or TOCSY connectivity are crucial for molecular structural characterization by using (1) H NMR spectroscopy. However, this exercise is often hampered by signal overlap, primarily because of (1) H-(1) H scalar coupling multiplets, even at typical high magnetic fields. The recent developments in homodecoupling strategies for effectively suppressing the coupling multiplets into nice singlets (pure-shift), particularly, Morris's advanced broadband pure-shift yielded by chirp excitation (PSYCHE) decoupling and ultrahigh resolution PSYCHE-TOCSY schemes, have shown new possibilities for unambiguous structural elucidation of complex organic molecules. The superior broadband PSYCHE-TOCSY exhibits enhanced performance over the earlier TOCSY methods, which however warrants prolonged experimental times due to the requirement of large number of dwell increments along the indirect dimension. Herein, we present fast and band-selective analog of the broadband PSYCHE-TOCSY, which is useful for analyzing complex organic molecules that exhibit characteristic yet crowded spectral regions. The simple pulse scheme relies on band-selective excitation (BSE) followed by PSYCHE homodecoupling in the indirect dimension. The BSE-PSYCHE-TOCSY has been exemplified for Estradiol and a complex carbohydrate mixture comprised of six constituents of closely comparable molecular weights. The experimental times are greatly reduced viz., ~20 fold for Estradiol and ~10 fold for carbohydrate mixture, with respect to the broadband PSYCHE-TOCSY. Furthermore, unlike the earlier homonuclear band-selective decoupling, the BSE-PSYCHE-decoupling provides fully decoupled pure-shift spectra for all the individual chemical sites within the excited band. The BSE-PSYCHE-TOCSY is expected to have significant potential for quick screening of complex organic molecules and mixtures at ultrahigh resolution. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
Real-time pure shift experiments provide highly resolved proton NMR spectra which do not require any special processing. Although being more sensitive than their pseudo 2D counterparts, their signal intensities per unit time are still far below regular NMR spectra. In addition, scalar coupling evolution during the individual data chunks produces decoupling sidebands. Here we show that faster and cleaner real-time pure shift spectra can be obtained through the implementation of two parameter alterations. Variation of the FID chunk lengths between individual transients significantly suppresses decoupling sidebands for any kind of real-time pure shift spectra and thus allows for example the analysis of minor components in compound mixtures. Shifting the excitation frequency between individual scans of real-time slice-selective pure shift spectra increases their sensitivity obtainable in unit time by allowing faster repetitions of acquisitions.

Abstract
Unambiguous identification and precise quantification of enantiomers in chiral mixtures is crucial for enantiomer specific synthesis as well as chemical analysis. The task is often challenging for mixtures with high enantiomeric excess and for complex molecules with strong (1)H-(1)H scalar (J) coupling network. The recent advancements in (1)H-(1)H decoupling strategies to suppress the J-interactions offered new possibilities for NMR based unambiguous discrimination and quantification enantiomers. Herein, we discuss a high resolution two-dimensional pure-shift zCOSY NMR method with homonuclear band-selective decoupling in both the F1 and F2 dimensions (F1F2-HOBS-zCOSY). This advanced method shows a sharp improvement in resolution over the other COSY methods and also eliminates the problems associated with the overlapping decoupling sidebands. The efficacy of this method has been exploited for precise quantification of enantiomeric excess (ee) ratio (R/S) up to 99:1 in the presence of very low concentrations of chiral lanthanide shift reagents (CLSR) or chiral solvating agents (CSA). The F1F2-HOBS-zCOSY is simple and can be easily implemented on any modern NMR spectrometers, as a routine analytical tool.

Abstract
In recent years, a great interest in the development of new broadband 1H homonuclear decoupled techniques providing simplified JHH multiplet patterns has emerged again in the field of small molecule NMR. The resulting highly resolved 1H NMR spectra display resonances as collapsed singlets, therefore minimizing signal overlap and expediting spectral analysis. This review aims at presenting the most recent advances in pure shift NMR spectroscopy, with a particular emphasis to the Zangger-Sterk experiment. A detailed discussion about the most relevant practical aspects in terms of pulse sequence design, selectivity, sensitivity, spectral resolution and performance is provided. Finally, the implementation of the different reported strategies into traditional 1D and 2D NMR experiments is described while several practical applications are also reviewed.

Abstract
The presence of a highly abundant passive nucleus (Z = 19F or 31P) allows the simultaneous determination of the magnitude and the sign of up to three different heteronuclear coupling constants from each individual cross-peak observed in a 2D 1H-X selHSQMBC spectrum. Whereas J(HZ) and J(XZ) coupling constants are measured from E.COSY multiplet patterns, J(XH) is independently extracted from the complementary IPAP pattern generated along the detected F2 dimension. The incorporation of an extended TOCSY transfer allows the extraction of a complete set of all these heteronuclear coupling constants and their signs for an entire 1H subspin system. 1H-X/1H-Y time-shared versions are also proposed for the simultaneous measurement of five different couplings (J(XH), J(YH), J(XZ), J(YZ), and J(ZH)) for multiple signals in a single NMR experiment.

Abstract
Spectral resolution in proton NMR spectroscopy is reduced by the splitting of resonances into multiplets due to the effect of homonuclear scalar couplings. Although these effects are often hidden in protein NMR spectroscopy by low digital resolution and routine apodization, behind the scenes homonuclear scalar couplings increase spectral overcrowding. The possibilities for biomolecular NMR offered by new pure shift NMR methods are illustrated here. Both resolution and sensitivity are improved, without any increase in experiment time. In these experiments, free induction decays are collected in short bursts of data acquisition, with durations short on the timescale of J-evolution, interspersed with suitable refocusing elements. The net effect is real-time (t 2) broadband homodecoupling, suppressing the multiplet structure caused by proton-proton interactions. The key feature of the refocusing elements is that they discriminate between the resonances of active (observed) and passive (coupling partner) spins. This can be achieved either by using band-selective refocusing or by the BIRD element, in both cases accompanied by a nonselective 180° proton pulse. The latter method selects the active spins based on their one-bond heteronuclear J-coupling to (15)N, while the former selects a region of the (1)H spectrum. Several novel pure shift experiments are presented, and the improvements in resolution and sensitivity they provide are evaluated for representative samples: the N-terminal domain of PGK; ubiquitin; and two mutants of the small antifungal protein PAF. These new experiments, delivering improved sensitivity and resolution, have the potential to replace the current standard HSQC experiments.

Abstract
Although scalar-coupling provides important structural information, the resulting signal splittings significantly reduce the resolution of NMR spectra. Limited resolution is a particular problem in proton NMR experiments, resulting in part from the limited proton chemical shift range (∼10 ppm) but even more from the splittings due to scalar coupling to nearby protons. "Pure shift" NMR spectroscopy (also known as broadband homonuclear decoupling) has been developed for disentangling overlapped proton NMR spectra. The resulting spectra are considerably simplified as they consist of single lines, reminiscent of proton-decoupled C-13 spectra at natural abundance, with no multiplet structure. The different approaches to obtaining pure shift spectra are reviewed here and several applications presented. Pure shift spectra are especially useful for highly overlapped proton spectra, as found for example in reaction mixtures, natural products and biomacromolecules.

Abstract
Even C/CH(2) and odd CH/CH(3) carbon-multiplicity information can be directly distinguished from the relative positive/negative phase of cross-peaks in a novel ME (Multiplicity-Edited)-selHSQMBC experiment. The method can be extended by a TOCSY propagation step, and it is fully compatible for the simultaneous and precise determination of long-range heteronuclear coupling constants. Broadband homonuclear decoupling techniques can also be incorporated to enhance sensitivity and signal resolution by effective collapse of J(HH) multiplets.

Abstract
A broadband proton–proton-decoupled CPMG-HSQMBC method for the precise and direct measurement of long-range heteronuclear coupling constants is presented. The Zangger–Sterk-based homodecoupling scheme reported herein efficiently removes unwanted proton–proton splittings from the heteronuclear multiplets, so that the desired heteronuclear couplings can be determined simply by measuring frequency differences between singlet maxima in the resulting spectra. The proposed pseudo-1D/2D pulse sequences were tested on nucleotides, a metal complex incorporating P heterocycles, and diglycosyl (di)selenides, as well as on other carbohydrate derivatives, for the extraction of nJ(1H,31P), nJ(1H,77Se), and nJ(1H,13C) values, respectively.

Abstract
The implementation of the HOmodecoupled Band-Selective (HOBS) technique in the conventional Inversion-Recovery and CPMG-based PROJECT experiments is described. The achievement of fully homodecoupled signals allows the distinction of overlapped (1)H resonances with small chemical shift differences. It is shown that the corresponding T1 and T2 relaxation times can be individually measured from the resulting singlet lines using conventional exponential curve-fitting methods.

Abstract
Unambiguous spectral assignments in (1)H solution-state NMR are central, for accurate structural elucidation of complex molecules, which is often hampered by signal overlap, primarily because of scalar coupling multiplets, even at typical high magnetic fields. The recent advances in homodecoupling methods have shown powerful means of achieving high resolution pure-shift (1)H spectra in 1D and also in 2D J-correlated experiments, by effectively collapsing the multiplet structures. The present work extends these decoupling strategies to through-space correlation experiments as well and describes two new pure-shift ROESY pulse schemes with homodecoupling during acquisition, viz., homodecoupled broadband (HOBB)-ROESY and homodecoupled band-selective (HOBS)-ROESY. Furthermore, the ROESY blocks suppress the undesired interferences of TOCSY cross peaks and other offsets. Despite the reduced signal sensitivity and prolonged experimental times, the HOBB-ROESY is particularly useful for molecules that exhibit an extensive scalar coupling network spread over the entire (1)H chemical shift range, such as natural/synthetic organic molecules. On the other hand, the HOBS-ROESY is useful for molecules that exhibit well-separated chemical shift regions such as peptides (NH, Hα and side-chain protons). The HOBS-ROESY sensitivities are comparable with the conventional ROESY, thereby saves the experimental time significantly. The power of these pure-shift ROESY sequences is demonstrated for two different organic molecules, wherein complex conventional ROE cross peaks are greatly simplified with high resolution and sensitivity. The enhanced resolution allows deriving possibly more numbers of ROEs with better accuracy, thereby facilitating superior means of structural characterization of medium-size molecules.
