Summary:
PSYCHE, Pure Shift Yielded by Chirp Excitation, is a new method for Pure Shift NMR Spectroscopy which suppresses the effects of homonuclear coupling, allowing ¹H spectra to be produced that contain chemical shift only, with no multiplet structure. PSYCHE has superior sensitivity, spectral purity, and tolerance of strong coupling compared to other pure shift techniques.
