Abstract:
1. A NMR method of accruing spectral information from molecules by determining the structure of a sample molecule, the method comprising: applying an NMR pulse sequence to H and X1 nuclei of the sample molecule, wherein H designates a proton and X1 designates a magnetically active heteronucleus; while applying the NMR pulse sequence, acquiring two-dimensional X1-X1 correlation spectra by operating a first RF receiver tuned to the X1 frequency; and while applying the same NMR pulse sequence, acquiring three-dimensional X1-H correlation spectra by operating a second RF receiver tuned to the H frequency, the second RF receiver being separate and operated independently from the first RF receiver, wherein the spectral information on the proton and the magnetically active heteronucleus is recorded simultaneously utilizing said NMR pulse sequence and said first and second independently operated RF receivers.
