Selective homonuclear 1D experiments usually start from the selective ¹H excitation of a given resonance followed by a mixing process. When PFGs are available, the DPFGE scheme is highly recommended as a selective excitation scheme. Selective 1D experiments can be easily derived by adding the corresponding mixing process between the SPFGE block and the acquisition period:

Easy implementation on AVANCE spectrometers equipped with shaped pulse and gradient capabilities.

The most standard way to implement an initial selective 90º or 270º ¹H pulse in a pulse program is:

...  50u UNBLKGRAD p16:gp1 d16 pl0:f1 p12:sp2:f1 ph2 50u p16:gp1 d16 50u p16:gp2 d16 pl0:f1 p12:sp2:f1 ph3 50u p16:gp2 d16 BLKGRAD ...

in which

• p12 is the duration of the shaped refocusing pulse
• sp2 is the power level of the selective pulse
• spnam2 is the shape of the selective pulse
• p16 defines the duration of the involved gradients.
• gpz1 and gpz2 define the strength of the involved gradients.
