Nonuniform sampling (NUS) strategies are developed for acquiring highly resolved 1,1‐ADEQUATE spectra, in both conventional and homodecoupled (HD) variants with improved sensitivity. Specifically, the quantile‐directed and Poisson gap methods were critically compared for distributing the samples nonuniformly, and the quantile schedules were further optimized for weighting. Both maximum entropy and iterative soft thresholding spectral estimation algorithms were evaluated. All NUS approaches were robust when the degree of data reduction is moderate, on the order of a 50% reduction of sampling points. Further sampling reduction by NUS is facilitated by using weighted schedules designed by the quantile method, which also suppresses sampling noise well. Seed independence and the ability to specify the sample weighting in quantile scheduling are important in optimizing NUS for 1,1‐ADEQUATE data acquisition. Using NUS yields an improvement in sensitivity, while also making longer evolution times accessible that would be difficult or impractical to attain by uniform sampling. Theoretical predictions for the sensitivity enhancements in these experiments are in the range of 5–20%; NUS is shown to disambiguate weak signals, reveal some nJCC correlations obscured by noise, and improve signal strength relative to uniform sampling in the same experimental time. This work presents sample schedule development for applying NUS to challenging experiments. The schedules developed here are made available for general use and should facilitate the broader utilization of ADEQUATE experiments (including 1,1‐, 1,n‐, and HD‐ variants) for challenging structure elucidation problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
