Eshuis, N., et al., Determination of long-range scalar (1)H-(1)H coupling constants responsible for polarization transfer in SABRE. J Magn Reson, 2016. 265: p. 59-66.
SABRE (Signal Amplification By Reversible Exchange) nuclear spin hyperpolarization method can provide strongly enhanced NMR signals as a result of the reversible association of small molecules with para-hydrogen (p-H2) at an iridium metal complex. The conversion of p-H2 singlet order to enhanced substrate proton magnetization within such complex is driven by the scalar coupling interactions between the p-H2 derived hydrides and substrate nuclear spins. In the present study these long-range homonuclear couplings are experimentally determined for several SABRE substrates using an NMR pulse sequence for coherent hyperpolarization transfer at high magnetic field. Pyridine and pyrazine derivatives appear to have a similar approximately 1.2Hz (4)J coupling to p-H2 derived hydrides for their ortho protons, and a much lower (5)J coupling for their meta protons. Interestingly, the (4)J hydride-substrate coupling for five-membered N-heterocyclic substrates is well below 1Hz.

A general review of novel NMR methods to measure heteronuclear long-range proton-carbon coupling constants ( n J CH ; n>1) in small molecules is made. NMR experiments are classified in terms of NMR pulse scheme and cross-peak nature. A discussion about simplicity, general applicability and accuracy for each...

[NMR paper] Unraveling long range residual dipolar coupling networks in strongly aligned proteins
Unraveling long range residual dipolar coupling networks in strongly aligned proteins

Author(s): Luke Arbogast , Ananya Majumdar , Joel R. Tolman</br>
Long-range residual dipolar couplings (lrRDCs) have the potential to serve as powerful structural restraints in protein NMR spectroscopy as they can provide both distance and orientation information about nuclei separate in sequence but close in space. Current nonselective methods for their measurement are limited to moderate...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Long-range 1H-{15N} coupling (HMBC)
Long-range 1H-{15N} coupling (HMBC)
Hello All
I have two examples of what appears to be 6J coupling between 1H and 15N using gradient HMBC experiments with 15N at natural abundance. For such an experiment, 2J and 3J correlations are typical, sometimes 4J (W-type) but I've never seen 6J before.
Has anyone else ever seen correlations over this distance? Any other comments?
Craig.

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] Measurement of Long Range C H Coupling Constants
Measurement of Long Range C H Coupling Constants
The stereochemistry of compounds is assigned very often with proton - proton NOE's by applying the 2D NOESY technique or the 1D selective gradient NOESY technique. These methods fail, however when the distance between protons is too large to measure an NOE. When faced with this situation, it may be possible to measure long range proton - carbon coupling constants which are able to provide the necessary information. Three-bond carbon - proton couplings follow a Karplus relationship where the magnitude of the coupling constant is related to...
