,What was the main limitation of HMBC that led to the development of ADEQUATE
experiments?
a.HMBC required isotopic enrichment of 13C
b. HMBC could not distinguish whether correlations were 2, 3, or 4 bonds away.
c. HMBC required prohibitively large sample sizes
d. HMBC spectra were cluttered with diagonal peaks - CORRECT ANSWER-b.
HMBC could not distinguish whether correlations were 2, 3, or 4 bonds away.
