Insensitive nuclei enhancement by polarization transfer (INEPT) is a signal enhancement method used in NMR spectroscopy.It involves the transfer of nuclear spin polarization from spins with large Boltzmann population differences to nuclear spins of interest with lower Boltzmann population differences. [1]
The basic scheme of this experiment involves the transfer of magnetization on the proton to the second nucleus, which may be 15 N, 13 C or 31 P, via an INEPT (Insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer) step.
When electron spin polarization deviates from its thermal equilibrium value, polarization transfers between electrons and nuclei can occur spontaneously through electron-nuclear cross relaxation or spin-state mixing among electrons and nuclei. For example, polarization transfer is spontaneous after a homolysis chemical reaction.
Graphical representation of the INEPT NMR pulse sequence. INEPT is utilized often to improve 15 N resolution because it can accommodate negative gyromagnetic ratios, increases Boltzmann polarization, and decreases T 1 relaxation. [3] Insensitive nuclei enhanced by polarization transfer (INEPT) is a signal
Cross-polarization (CP) if a fundamental (Radiofrequency) RF pulse sequence and a building-block in many solid-state NMR. It is typically used to enhance the signal of a dilute nuclei with a low gyromagnetic ratio (e.g. 13 C, 15 N) by magnetization transfer from an abundant nuclei with a high gyromagnetic ratio (e.g. 1
The nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) is the transfer of nuclear spin polarization from one population of spin-active nuclei (e.g. 1 H, 13 C, 15 N etc.) to another via cross-relaxation.
Considering these techniques from the opposite perspective, that magnetization (i.e. spin polarization) is being transferred from the bulk water to the spin-saturated hydration population, allows one to conceptually unify chemical exchange methods with other techniques that transfer magnetization between nuclei populations.
In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), an observable nuclear spin polarization (magnetization) is created by a homogeneous magnetic field. This field makes the magnetic dipole moments of the sample precess at the resonance frequency of the nuclei. At thermal equilibrium, nuclear spins precess ...
