In Pure shift NMR (pure shift yielded by chirp pulse excitation (PSYCHE)) Sideband Averaging by Periodic PHase Incrementation of Residual J Evolution (SAPPHIRE) has proved to be a very useful technique for obtaining clean high-resolution NMR spectra; SAPPHIRE suppresses homo-decoupling sidebands resulting in high-quality pure shift spectra. As a consequence, it enables circumventing dynamic range problems for complex mixtures having wide range of concentrations of constituents; in conventional PSYCHE spectra, the signals of low concentration constituents may get masked by the sidebands. However, the SAPPHIRE-PSYCHE scheme is very sensitive to pulse/power calibrations and does not perform well for miscalibrations. In this background we propose here an improvement employing adiabatic composite refocusing pulses (ad-SAPPHIRE-PSYCHE) which has enabled us to obtain ultraclean pure shift NMR spectra with high resolution. The resulting improvements with the new scheme have been demonstrated on metabolite samples, honey and peppermint oil, and we believe that this will become routinely usable in commercial environments using autosamplers and with technically not-sowell trained researchers.The recent development of homo-decoupled (pure shift) [1] nuclear magnetic resonance methods, namely, Zangger-Sterk (ZS), [2] bilinear rotational decoupling (BIRD), [3] pure shift yielded by chirp excitation (PSYCHE), [4] band-selective homodecoupling, [5] and several of their variants [6] have proved very useful for simplifying complex NMR spectra. These methods remove homonuclear scalar couplings which results in dramatic improvement in the spectral resolution. The versatility of pure shift NMR methods has been demonstrated in different applications: enantiomeric determination, [7] diastereomeric determination, 8 NOE/ROE measurement, [5b,9] chemical shift assignments, [2b,d,3d,4b,5a] diffusion measurements, [10] scalar coupling determination, [11] and identification of different chem-ical constituents in the mixtures [12] and metabolite samples. [13] Nevertheless, identifying chemical constituents in metabolite mixtures is a rather difficult task due to a number of issues: (i) spectral sensitivity of the pure shift NMR methods is quite poor; (ii) some pulse schemes decouple only -CH and CH 3 protons, and they do not work for the -CH 2 spins; (iii) in most of the cases, homo-decoupling sidebands appear due to improper Jrefocusing, and this renders analysis, especially of constituents at very low concentrations, ambiguous since their signals may get masked by the sidebands (dynamic range problem). Recently, a two-dimensional BIRD-HSQC method has been demonstrated to identify the unambiguous chemical shifts of metabolites, and it provides a very high chemical shift dispersion. [13a] Even so, to identify the constituents at very low concentrations, spectra need to be acquired for rather long instrumental times; it is possible, however, to reduce this time by invoking the ideas of non-uniform sampling schedules [12a] and Hadama...
