What Does HMQC Stand For?

HMQC stands for Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Coherence

Heteronuclear Multiple Quantum Coherence (HMQC) is a sophisticated nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy technique used to enhance the observation of interactions between different types of nuclei, typically involving one proton and one heteronucleus such as carbon or nitrogen. It improves sensitivity and resolution by correlating signals from heteronuclei and can effectively provide structural information about complex molecules, aiding in the analysis of biomolecules and organic compounds. HMQC is particularly useful in the study of molecular dynamics and elucidating the connectivity between atoms in various chemical environments.
