What is mixing time in NMR?

In the first period, called the preparation time, the sample is excited by one or more pulses. The resulting magnetization is allowed to evolve for the first time period, t1. Then another period follows, called the mixing time, which consists of a further pulse or pulses.

How does FT NMR work?

Fourier Transform NMR (FT-NMR): A method to collect an NMR spectrum in which a pulse of radio frequency energy is used to excite all nuclei of a particular isotope (1H, 13C, etc.) As the excited nuclei relax, they re-emit radio wave photons which produce an interference pattern called the free induction decay (FID).

How long does a Noesy experiment take?

The minimum time for a 2D NOESY spectrum is relatively long (30 minutes to 1.5 hours) while the minimum time for a single 1D selective NOESY spectrum is about 2 minutes. Thus, if you have a concentrated sample (0.037M), and are interested in less than five or so NOEs, then the 1D version should be chosen.

What is the mixing time in NOESY?

NOESY experiments always include a kinetic aspect. The NOE builds up during a delay in the experiment called the “mixing time”. By convention, this delay is D8 in Bruker pulse sequences. It is typically set to around 600 msec for small molecules.

What are the best NOESY alternatives for small molecules?

The selective 1D NOESY and ROESY experiments are good alternatives if you need high resolution NOESY information on just a few proposed correlations. ROESY is a more demanding experiment than NOESY, with lower S/N and more artifacts, so you should initially try NOESY on your small molecules.

How to perform Roesy on small molecules?

ROESY is a more demanding experiment than NOESY, with lower S/N and more artifacts, so you should initially try NOESY on your small molecules. Experiment Procedure: 1) Optional: Lock, shim, setup a 1D proton experiment, choose solvent, acquire a quick 1D proton spectrum, reference and save it.

How to classify Noe peak intensities for organic molecules?

For organic molecules, it is generally sufficient to classify NOE peak intensities as strong, medium, and weak and make qualitative deductions about relative distances. If an actual distance is needed, one may use the well-known approach in which the NOE is inversely proportional to the distance to the 6th power, i.e., rij= rref (aref/aij)1/6
