“Dopamine Rush” – The Story of Exchange Dopamine is the main neurotransmitter involved in the pathway that regulates reward-motivated behavior [1]. The rewarding feeling that we experience when spending quality time with our loved ones, or acquiring a perfectly resolved NMR spectrum, comes from the increased dopamine level. This in turn motivates us to repeat …

Reduce the quantification time of 13C 1000 times by including polarization transfer and indirect detection. The most common approach to quantifying materials by NMR utilizes 1H NMR spectra, which combines high intrinsic sensitivity with straightforward, inherently quantitative signal integrals. In complex formulations and reaction mixtures, however, 1H spectra often suffer from peak overlap, which limits …
