PhD Thesis: Modern NMR Methodologies for the Measurement of Homo- and Heteronuclear Coupling Constants in Small Molecules

Last 21st May 2014 I defended my PhD Thesis entitled: Modern NMR Methodologies for the Measurement of Homo- and Heteronuclear Coupling Constants in Small Molecules

 

PhD thesis JSauri - Graphical Abstract - Publications

 

The dissertation is focused on the development of modern NMR methodologies for the measurement of homo- and heteronuclear coupling constants in small molecules, and is presented as a compendium of eight (8) publications that have been published in several peer-reviewed journals as original research papers.  Continue reading PhD Thesis: Modern NMR Methodologies for the Measurement of Homo- and Heteronuclear Coupling Constants in Small Molecules

PhD Thesis by Josep Saurí: Pulse Programs and Data Set Examples

In the following links one can find Data Set Examples of each Publication presented in the Thesis Work, as well as the corresponding Pulse Program Code for Bruker. All spectra have been previously phased and 2ii, 2ir, and 2ri files removed, otherwise data sets would be too big.

Easy measurement of one-bond proton-carbon and geminal proton-proton coupling constants in diastereotopic methylene groups

Straightforward measurement of individual 1J(CH) and 2J(HH) in diastereotopic CH2 groups” by Josep Saurí, Laura Castañar, Pau Nolis, Albert Virgili and Teodor ParellaJournal of Magnetic Resonance 242 (2014) 33–40DOI: 10.1016/j.jmr.2014.02.003

The C-HA cross-peak corresponding to a diastereotopic CHAHB methylene spin system exhibits a characteristic 1:0:1 multiplet pattern along the indirect dimension of a ω1-coupled HSQC spectrum.

Efficient and fast sign-sensitive determination of heteronuclear coupling constants

“Efficient and fast sign-sensitive determination of heteronuclear coupling constants” by Josep Saurí, Pau Nolis and Teodor ParellaJournal of Magnetic Resonance 236 (2013) 66–69. DOI: https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmr.2013.08.013

Two complementary 1D NMR approaches for the fast and easy determination of the magnitude and the sign of heteronuclear J(XH) coupling constants are proposed:The Up&Down technique relies on the direct analysis of anti-phase multiplets whereas the Left&Right technique is based on the relative displacement between separate IPAP components.

On the interference of JHH modulation in HSQMBC-IPAP and HMBC-IPAP experiments

cover_MRC“On the interference of J(HH) modulation in HSQMBC-IPAP and HMBC-IPAP experiments”, by Josep Saurí and Teodor ParellaMagn. Reson. Chem. 2013. DOI: 10.1002/mrc.3977

The effects of phase signal modulation due to homonuclear proton–proton coupling constants in HSQMBC-IPAP and HMBC-IPAP experiments are experimentally evaluated. An assessment of the reliability ofnJCH measurement from distorted cross-peaks obtained in IPAP versions of HMBC and HSQMBC experiments is presented.

CLIP-HSQMBC: Very easy, direct and accurate measurement of nJCH in organic molecules and natural products

CLIP-HSQMBC: Easy measurement of small proton-carbon coupling constants in organic molecules, by Josep Saurí, Teodor Parella and Juan F. Espinosa; Org. Biomol. Chem., 2013, 11, 4473-4478. DOI:10.1039/C3OB40675J

A user-friendly 2D NMR approach denoted as CLIP-HSQMBC is proposed for the very easy, direct and accurate measurement of long-range proton-carbon coupling constants in organic molecules and natural products. The J value can be extracted directly from the analysis of resolved in-phase 1H multiplets that show an additional splitting arising from the proton-carbon coupling.

J-selHSQMBC: Simultaneous measurement of JHH and two different nJCH using IPAP, J-resolved and E.COSY principles

cover_MRC“Simultaneous measurement of J(HH) and two different nJ(CH) coupling constants from a single multiply-edited 2D cross-peak”, by Josep Saurí and Teodor ParellaMagn. Reson. Chem. 201351, 397-402. DOI: 10.1002/mrc.3960

Three different J-editing methods (IPAP, E.COSY and J-resolved) are implemented in a single NMR experiment to provide spin-state-edited 2D cross-peaks from which simultaneous measurement of different homonuclear and heteronuclear coupling constants can be performed.
