The 2D HMQC-ROESY experiment is an hybrid inverse experiment consisting of an initial HMQC pulse train followed by a ROESY mixing sequence. In the first step, magnetization is transferred from the X nucleus (13C or 15N) to the directly-bonded proton nuclei via 1J(CH). In the second step, polarization transfer is achieved in the transverse plane via NOE. Similar results are obtained from the analog 2D HSQC-ROESY experiment.REQUIREMENTS
Easy implementation on any AVANCE spectrometer equipped with an inverse probehead.VERSIONS
The basic sequence of the 2D HMQC-ROESY experiment is based in the four-pulse 2D HMQC experiment in which a ROESY mixing sequence (for instance, low-power continuous wave) is inserted prior to acquisition. A BIRD-recovery cluster is used as a preparation period in order to reduce the large unwanted 1H-X (typically, 12C or 14N) magnetization ( 92JACS1115 ). Carbon decoupling is optionally applied during proton acquisition.EXPERIMENTAL DETAILSImproved results can be obtained from the gradient enhanced version (see ge-2D HMQC-ROESY experiment).
The 2D HMQC-ROESY experiment can be recorded in routine/automation modes. The experiment is basically optimized as described for the 2D HMQC experiment. The most important paramter to optimize is the mixing time length.

The HMQC-ROESY spectrum correlates chemical shifts of heteronucleus X (F1 dimension) and protons (F2 dimension) via the direct heteronuclear coupling 1J(XH). Two different cross-peaks are present for each X resonance: The direct 1H-X NOE connectivites and the NOE 1H-X connectivities due to the cumulative transfer 1J(XH) + 1H-1H NOE. The same NOE effects can also be detected by a 2D HMQC-NOESY, 2D HSQC-ROESY and 2D HSQC-NOESY experiments.RELATED TOPICS
Comparison of different 2D inverse correlations have been carried out ( 90JMR488-87 ).A 3D HMQC-ROESY experiment is easily designed by incorporating a second variable evolution period between the HMQC and the ROESY mixing period. On the other hand, a very similar pulse sequence is used for the w1-X-filtered 2D ROESY experiment by fixing the variable period in the HMQC block of this 3D HMQC-ROESY experiment.
