Abstract
New spin‐state‐selective (S^3^) NMR pulse sequences exclusively applying cross‐polarization schemes to achieve optimum homonuclear and heteronuclear ^1^HX coherence transfer are reported for the simple and accurate measurement of the magnitude and sign of heteronuclear coupling constants for samples at natural abundance. The proposed spin‐edited HCP‐TOCSY experiments are based on clean heteronuclear S^3^ excitation, generated by simultaneous co‐addition of two independent in‐phase and anti‐phase components created during the mixing heteronuclear J‐cross‐polarization (HCP) step, which is finally transferred to other protons by a conventional homonuclear TOCSY mechanism. Selective 1D and non‐selective 2D approaches for the easy determination of long‐range proton–carbon and proton–nitrogen coupling constants on any protonated and non‐protonated heteronuclei are presented and discussed for several organic molecules.
