Abstract

The goal of this work was to improve the double resonance technique called Broadband Heteronuclear Decoupling. This technique consists on eliminate the dipolar heteronuclear interaction that exists between rare nucleous (13C, for example) and abundant nucleous that exists around (1H, for example). To improve some techniques of Broadband Heteronuclear Decoupling (BBDec), an electronic apparatus was made, which consisted of design and implementation of radiofrequency pulse modulators with phase control, special BBDec pulse sequences programming and digital control systems. The implemented Broadband Heteronuclear Decoupling techniques were: Noise Modulation, Square-wave Modulation, MLEV-64 sequence and WALTZ-16 sequence. We evaluated the performance of these techniques utilizing the experimental results obtained with the sample ADAMANTANO (Cl10H16). All developed apparatus was incorporated with the high resolution NMR spectrometer that exists at the High Resolution Spectroscopy Laboratory (LEAR), of the Instituto de Física de Sao Carlos, USP, and are being used at all high resolution NMR experiments (AU)
