A simple pulse sequence in inverse-detection mode is proposed for the detection of heteronuclear long-range couplings. In the resulting 2D heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation (HMBC) spectra, pure-absorptive peak patterns are obtained along both frequency dimensions. Since the heteronuclear coupl

Abstract
A gradientβselected JβHMBC experiment is presented. Coherence selection with magnetic field gradients results in HMBC spectra in which t~1~ noise is very low or completely eliminated. This makes it possible to detect unequivocally very small (<2 Hz) longβrange H,X coupling constants. With a slight modification, the HMBC experiment can be used for the quantitative measurement of these couplings. The signal amplitude of spectra with increasing coupling evolution time Ο shows the characteristic sin (ΟJ~XH~Ο) dependence. By fitting a sine curve to the experimental data or by performing a 3D Jβresolved HMBC experiment, accurate ^n^J~XH~ coupling constants are obtained. This method is especially useful for estimating coupling constants between protons and unprotonated heteronuclei, e.g. quaternary carbons, ^15^N nuclei in labelled prolines or ^31^P in organophosphates.
