  • Reference work entry
  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter surveys the standard 2D NMR techniques (COSY, TOCSY, NOESY and ROESY, HSQC and HMQC, HMBC, and INADEQUATE) including also some suggestion about the most suitable experimental parameters to be utilized in the different cases. In addition, an entire section describes some tricks and techniques that can be used in difficult cases of structural elucidation.
