NMR spectroscopy/Catalogs/Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy experiments

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance experiments can have multiple variations added, such as form of solvent suppression, sensitivity enhancement, form of inversion or soft pulses, decoupling schemes and so on. This list refers to the basic form of the experiment and references, in general, but not always, are made to the earliest published form of the experiment.

These experiments have been separated into those generally used for solution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging spectroscopy (MRI) and solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

NMR experiments - solid-state

Many solid state experiments are similar to the liquid state experiments, but the sample is spun off axis at the "magic angle". Thus, many of the experiments listed under the solution NMR section can be done in the solid, and have names like MAS-HSQC, MAS-NOESY and so on.
