Double spin echo experiment with an ASR element excitation 90 pulse broadband 80 pulse active spin refocusing 80 pulse 4τ chunk acquisition chemical shift is refocused at the beginning of acquisition, but J-evolution is negligible during the first few data points (period 4τ ) delivering a small chunk of the desired pure shift FID homonuclear coupling (J) is refocused 2τ later 9

The interferogram pure shift pulse sequence excitation 90 pulse drop points delay broadband 80 pulse active spin refocusing 80 pulse chunk acquisition Chemical shift is refocused = [integer] / sw later than the beginning of acquisition J is refocused at the midpoint of each chunk (4τ ) Incremented delay allows recording all chunks of pure shift FID (during t δ evolves, but J is refocused) Phase cycle and/or PFG pairs can enforce CTP selection
The triple spin echo analogue with an ASR element drop points delay excitation 90 pulse broadband 80 pulse active spin refocusing 80 pulse broadband 80 pulse chunk acquisition Frequency-swept broadband pulses can be implemented Useful to deal with strong coupling artefacts e.g. in TSE-PSYCE Duration of the chunk is not limited by duration of gradient pulses, but more relaxation loss 2

Prototype pulse sequence of real-time pure shift NMR Chunks are collected from a single scan Resolution is worse compared to interferogram experiment, because of relaxation, diffusion/convection, and cumulative errors of pulse imperfection 7
Relaxation losses in real-time experiments SQC sequence elements [ ] acquisition J-refocus acquisition n τ r τ r line-width at half height Selected traces of real-time pure shift SQC BIRD. The total echo time (τ r ) of the J-refocusing element was incremented. Broadening here is due to proton T 2 relaxation. 8
Effect of BIRD timing error BIRD If τ = / (2 * J C ), then BIRD element refocuses the 3 C-attached protons. Selected traces of real-time pure shift SQC BIRD ( C = 90 z). The echo time (τ) of the BIRD element was varied (SQC sequence element was kept constant). Broadening here is due to BIRD timing error. 9
Effect of pulse imperfection in real-time pure shift SQC using BIRD Gradient pulses omitted, basic phase cycle, and no supercycle 2 nd carbon 80 pulse is omitted in BIRD G -4 varied chunk-to-chunk extended phase cycle (*2), and MLEV-6 supercycle extra signals next to the pure shift signal and F mirror images extra signals appear due to heteronuclear J-evolution during τ 2 clean 20

Summary Interferogram experiments Resolution enhancement requires extended experiment time There is a trade-off between experiment time and quality of spectrum Many kinds of active spin refocusing element are available System instability may affect very high resolution experiments Real-time acquisition Experiment times of parent and pure shift methods are practically identical Simultaneous sensitivity and resolution enhancement in real-time SQC using BIRD Resolution enhancement is limited by relaxation, diffusion/convection, and pulse imperfection Lock disturbance can be a problem in high resolution experiments 25
