Abstract: | Multivariate curve resolution (MCR) has been applied to separate pure spectra and pure decay profiles of DOSY NMR data. Given good initial guesses of the pure decay profiles, and combined with the nonlinear least square regression (NLR), MCR can result in good separation of the pure components. Nevertheless, due to the presence of artefacts in experimental data, validation of a MCR model is still necessary. In this paper, the covariance matrix of the residuals (CMR), obtained by postmultiplying the residual matrix with its transpose, is proposed to evaluate the quality of the results of an experimental data set. Plots of the rows of this matrix give a general impression of the covariance in the frequency domain of the residual matrix. Different patterns in the plot indicate possible causes of experimental imperfections. This new criterion can be used as diagnosis in order to improve experimental settings as well as suggest appropriate preprocessing of DOSY NMR data. |
