What Does DETOCSY Stand For?

DETOCSY stands for Diffusion Edited Total Correlation Spectroscopy

DETOCSY, or Diffusion Edited Total Correlation Spectroscopy, is a powerful NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) technique used for the structural characterization of complex organic molecules. By combining diffusion editing with total correlation spectroscopy, DETOCSY effectively separates signals based on molecular diffusion properties, allowing for enhanced resolution of overlapping resonances. This method facilitates the identification of specific proton-proton interactions and provides insights into molecular connectivity, making it invaluable in fields such as chemistry, biochemistry, and metabolomics.
