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 13C and 15N 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 15N-1H and 13C-1H HSQC, and HMQC experiments we have selectively detected spectra of each rare spin coupled to protons. The 15N-1H and 13C-1H dipolar couplings have been determined in the natural abundance of 13C and 15N for the molecules pyrazine, pyrimidine and pyridazine oriented in a thermotropic liquid crystal.
