A brief history of 2D NMR
In 1971, the idea of 2D NMR was proposed by Jean Jeener.
The 1975 Ernst paper “Two-dimensional spectroscopy,
application to nuclear magnetic resonance” utilized Jeener’s
idea to produce spectra.
where H(t) = H(1) for 0< t<t1 and H(t) = H(2) for t>t1
are used to obtain an expression for the observed magnetization that is separated into two
terms:
The other term consists of components which do not oscillate and produces the axial peaks of
the spectrum.
Resulting 2D spectrum
