Abstract
NMR measurements of molecules containing sparse fluorine atoms are becoming increasingly common due to their prevalence in medicinal chemistry. However, the presence of both homonuclear and heteronuclear scalar couplings severely complicates their analysis by NMR. In complex systems, FESTA, a heteronuclear spectral editing method, allows simplified 1 H NMR spectra to be obtained containing only 1 H signals from the same spin system as a chosen 19 F. Despite spectral simplification, signal overlap due to the presence of scalar couplings is often a problem in FESTA spectra. Here, we report a new experiment that combines FESTA and pure shift methods to provide fully decoupled ultra-high resolution FESTA spectra showing a single signal for each 1 H chemical environment. The utility of the method is demonstrated for the analysis of two complex fluorine-containing mixtures of pharmaceutical and biochemical interest.

Abstract
The NMR analysis of fluorine-containing molecules, increasingly widespread due to their importance in pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, poses significant challenges. Severe peak overlap in the proton spectrum often hinders the extraction of critical structural information in the form of heteronuclear scalar coupling constants, which are crucial for determining pharmaceutical properties and biological activity. Here, a new method, IPAP-FESTA, is reported that drastically simplifies measurements of the signs and magnitudes of proton-fluorine couplings. Its usefulness is demonstrated for the structural study of the steroidal drug fluticasone propionate extracted from a commercial formulation and for assessing solvent effects on the conformational equilibrium in a physically inseparable fluorohydrin mixture.

Abstract
State-of-the-art nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) selective experiments are capable of directly analyzing crude reaction mixtures. A new experiment named HD-HAPPY-FESTA yields ultrahigh-resolution total correlation subspectra, which are suitable for sign-sensitive determination of heteronuclear couplings, as demonstrated here by measuring the sign and magnitude for proton-fluorine couplings (JHF) from major and minor isomer products of a two-step reaction without any purification. Proton-fluorine couplings ranging from 51.5 to -2.6 Hz could be measured using HD-HAPPY-FESTA, with the smallest measured magnitude of 0.8 Hz. Experimental JHF values were used to identify the two fluoroketone intermediates and the four fluoroalcohol products. Results were rationalized and compared with the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Experimental data were further compared with the couplings reported in the literature, where pure samples were analyzed.

Abstract
Residual quadrupolar couplings contain important structural information comparable with residual dipolar couplings. However, the measurement of sign and size of especially small residual quadrupolar couplings is difficult. Here, we present an extension of the E.COSY principle to spin systems consisting of a Spin 1 coupled to a spin ½ nucleus, which allows the determination of the sign of the quadrupolar coupling of the Spin 1 nucleus relative to the heteronuclear coupling between the spins. The so-called Q.E.COSY approach is demonstrated with its sign-sensitivity using variable angle NMR, stretched gels and liquid crystalline phases applied to various CD and CD3 groups. Especially the sign-sensitive measurement of residual quadrupolar couplings that remain unresolved in conventional deuterium 1D spectra is shown.
