Combining J-edited and correlation spectroscopies within a multi-dimensional spatial frequency encoding: toward fully resolved 1H†NMR spectra.

J-resolved at a glance: Passive coupling refocusing-COSY experiments based on a frequency encoding of the sample along two directions of space are presented. It allows various spin evolutions to be triggered in different parts of the sample in a selective and fully controlled manner. This yields 2D spectra in which the whole proton network appears as a series of fully resolved and straightforwardly assignable doublets, triplets or quartets (see figure).
