HOBS Applications (27-03-2014)

Several NMR applications using HOmodecouped Band-Selective NMR experiments [1] are proposed. The easy implementation of this HOBS scheme as a general building block into a great variety of multidimensional NMR experiments leads to pure-shift spectra with enhanced resolution and with the maximum attainable sensitivity. In this talk is presented the application of HOBS for measuring direct [1] and long-range [2] heteronuclear coupling constants. Also the use of HOBS experiments to enantiodiscrimination studies are presented [3].

Rapid and efficient enantiodifferentiation through frequency-selective pure-shift 1H NMR spectroscopy

DOI: 10.1002/cphc.201301130

A frequency-selective 1D 1H NMR experiment for the fast and sensitive determination of  chemical shift differences between overlapped resonances is proposed. The resulting fully homodecoupled 1H resonances appear as resolved 1D singlets without their typical JHH multiplet structure. The achieved high signal dispersion is here exploited in  enantiodiscrimination studies using chiral solvating agents.

Confining light metal hydrides in micro- or mesoporous scaffolds

Mesoporous Carbon” Klose, M.; Lindemann, I.; Minella, C.; Pinkert, K.; Zier, M.; Giebeler, L.; Nolis, P.; Baro, M.; Oswald, S.; Gutfleisch, O.; Ehrenberg, H.; Eckert, J. Journal Of Materials Research, 2014, 29, 55-63 DOI:10.1557/jmr.2013.199

Confining light metal hydrides in micro- or mesoporous scaffolds is considered to be a promising way to overcome the existing challenges for these materials, e.g. their application in hydrogen storage. Different techniques exist which allow us to homogeneously fill pores of a host matrix with the respective hydride, thus yielding well defined composite materials.
