Abstract: | Many heteronuclear NMR experiments employ decoupling to collapse the heteronuclear multiplet, using decoupling schemes with a periodic phase modulation like WALTZ, MLEV, or GARP. Because of the periodic nature of these schemes, cycling sidebands are generated, whose intensity can be strongly reduced by decoupling asynchronously. We show that the most common implementation of asynchronous decoupling on modern spectrometers is such that the cycling sidebands are subjected to a periodic modulation. For multidimensional experiments, this results in ridges that can seriously compromise the quality of the spectrum. Based on our model, the artifact in a 2D (1)H]-(15)N NOE equilibrium experiment is simulated and it is shown that the artifact can be prevented by using synchronous decoupling. |
