Abstract: | In this paper the applicability of pulsed field gradients in high-resolution NMR spectroscopy are considered. Applications include solvent suppression, spectral editing of one- and two-dimensional (2D) NMR spectra and the induction of quadrature detection in the w1, direction of many 2D experiments. The applications are analysed using simple product operator algebra. Particular attention is directed to discussing the experimental requirements of this technology in order that high-resolution NMR conditions are maintained throughout the experiment. |
