Measurement of dipolar couplings in partially oriented molecules by local field NMR spectroscopy with low-power decoupling

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Low-power phase-modulated Lee-Goldburg homonuclear decoupling was used to record PDLF spectra of fluorine-substituted benzene derivatives dissolved in nematic thermotropic liquid crystalline solvents. The low-power decoupling minimizes sample heating during RF irradiation while still achieving highly resolved PDLF spectra. The method is illustrated by recording spectra for 1,3-dichloro-4-fluoro-5-nitrobenzene, 1,3-dichloro-4-fluorobenzene, and 1,2-difluorobenzene dissolved in different nematic solvents.
