The effectiveness of hetero-COSY, HETCOR, HMQC, and HSQC two-dimensional NMR pulse sequences for detection of (19)F-(1)H correlations by scalar coupling was evaluated on monofluorinated and polyfluorinated test compounds. All four of these sequences were effective in observing (1)H-(19)F correlations, using either (19) F or (1)H as the observe nucleus. All four sequences were amenable, to some degree, to adjustment to observe larger or smaller couplings preferentially. A 1/2J echo filter was effectively applied to remove artifacts from (2)JFF strong coupling. The HETCOR experiments afforded the best overall combination of sensitivity, resolution and selectivity for JHF.
