Abstract
NMR spectra of molecules oriented in liquid crystals provide homo‐ and heteronuclear dipolar couplings and thereby the geometry of the molecules. Several inequivalent dilute spins such as ^13^C and ^15^N coupled to protons form different coupled spin systems in their natural abundance and appear as satellites in the proton spectra. Identification of transitions belonging to each spin system is essential to determine heteronuclear dipolar couplings, which is a formidable task. In the present study, using ^15^N^1^H and ^13^C^1^H HSQC, and HMQC experiments we have selectively detected spectra of each rare spin coupled to protons. The ^15^N^1^H and ^13^C^1^H dipolar couplings have been determined in the natural abundance of ^13^C and ^15^N for the molecules pyrazine, pyrimidine and pyridazine oriented in a thermotropic liquid crystal.

## Abstract It is demonstrated that in a case where neither the proton nor the natural‐abundance ^13^C‐satellite spectra of a partially oriented molecule carry enough structural information, one can determine the entire molecular geometry by the combined use of several liquid crystals as solvents.
