The Indirect Detection of Metal Nuclei by Correlation Spectroscopy (HSQC and HMQC).

Abstract: This review discusses 2D HXQC methods for the indirect detection of the NMR spectrum of metal nuclei. The workings of several pulse sequences and of coherence selection are briefly outlined. The spin systems likely to be encountered in HXQC NMR studies of metal coordination and cluster compounds are analysed and appropriate modifications to the standard experiments discussed. In the second part, the literature describing the application of HXQC methods to the detection of the resonances of metal nuclei, since 1999 are reviewed and tables of data presented.
