title: DEPTQ: distorsionless enhancement by polarization transfer including the detection of quaternary nuclei.
abstract: A pulse sequence DEPTQ yielding the signals and multiplicity information for all carbon types including the signals of quaternary carbons and encompassing all the known advantages of the basic DEPT experiment is proposed. Its behavior has been studied theoretically and experimentally and has been compared critically with alternative methods dedicated for the same purpose. Its marked insensitivity to experimental parameters and its potential for complete and efficient spectral editing makes DEPTQ the ideal experimental platform for a semi- or fully automated analysis of 1D 13C spectra.
