lineshape. As commented on above, in NOESY all that is required to change from cosine to sine modulation is to shift the phase of the first pulse by 90°. The general recipe is to shift the phase of all the pulses that precede t 1 by 90°/|p 1 |, where p 1 is the coherence order present during t 1 . So, for a double quantum spectrum, the phase shift needs to be 45°. The origin of this rule is that, taken together, the pulses which precede t 1 give rise to a pathway with ∆p = p 1 . In heteronuclear experiments it is not usually necessary to shift the phase of all the pulses which precede t 1 ; an analysis of the sequence usually shows that shifting the phase of the pulse which generates the transverse magnetization which evolves during t 1 is sufficient. 9.4.4.2 Echo anti-echo method We will see in later sections that when we use gradient pulses for coherence selection the natural outcome is P- or N-type data sets. Individually, each of these gives a frequency discriminated spectrum, but with the phase-twist lineshape. We will show in this section how an absorption mode lineshape can be obtained provided both the P- and the N-type data sets are available.

[ ] 1 S+ ( F1, F2)= 2 A1+ + iD1+ A2 which is frequency discriminated and has, in the real part, the required double absorption lineshape. 9.4.4.3 Marion-Wüthrich or TPPI method The idea behind the TPPI (time proportional phase incrementation) or Marion–Wüthrich (MW) method is to arrange things so that all of the peaks have positive offsets. Then, frequency discrimination is not required as there is no ambiguity. One simple way to make all offsets positive is to set the receiver carrier frequency deliberately at the edge of the spectrum. Simple though this is, it is not really a very practical method as the resulting spectrum would be very inefficient in its use of data space and in addition off-resonance effects associated with the pulses in the sequence will be accentuated. In the TPPI method the carrier can still be set in the middle of the spectrum, but it is made to appear that all the frequencies are positive by phase shifting some of the pulses in the sequence in concert with the incrementation of t 1 . It was noted above that shifting the phase of the first pulse in the NOESY sequence from x to –y caused the modulation to change from cos(Ωt 1 ) to sin(Ωt 1 ). One way of expressing this is to say that shifting the pulse causes a phase shift φ in the signal modulation, which can be written cos(Ωt 1 + φ). Using the usual trigonometric expansions this can be written cos( Ωt1 + φ)= cosΩt1cosφ −sinΩt1sinφ If the phase shift, φ, is –π/2 radians the result is cos( Ωt1 + π 2)= cosΩt1cos( −π 2)−sinΩt1sin( −π 2) = sinΩt 1 This is exactly the result we found before. In the TPPI procedure, the phase φ is made proportional to t 1 i.e. each time t 1 is incremented, so is the phase. We will suppose that φ( t1)= ω add t1 The constant of proportion between the time dependent phase, φ(t 1 ), and t 1 has been written ω add ; ω add has the dimensions of rad s –1 i.e. it is a frequency. Following the same approach as before, the time-domain function with the inclusion of this incrementing phase is thus cos( Ωt1 + φ( t1) )= cos( Ωt1 + ωaddt1) = cos Ω + ω t ( ) In words, the effect of incrementing the phase in concert with t 1 is to add a frequency ω add to all of the offsets in the spectrum. The TPPI method utilizes this in the following way. In one-dimensional pulse-Fourier transform NMR the free induction signal is add 1 9–19

general recipe is to shift the phase of all the pulses that precede t 1<br />

is the coherence order present during t 1<br />

be obtained provided both the P- <strong>and</strong> the N-type data sets are available.<br />
