Simple pulse sequences for selective multiple-quantum excitation

A sixteen pulse sequence which excites only four-quantum transitions in multiple-quantum NMR is shown to give good selectivity on two molecules, benzene and n-butyl bromide. The behavior as pulse sequence parameters are varied is shown to be consistent with coherent averaging theory. Advantages of this new sequence include much lower duty cycles and shorter total duration than can be achieved with previously used selective sequences. Limitations of this approach and extensions to high-quantum selectivity are discussed. © 1982.
