DEPT-NMR

Definition

DEPT-NMR (Distortionless Enhancement by Polarization Transfer Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) is a specialized NMR spectroscopy technique used to differentiate between carbon atoms in organic compounds based on the number of hydrogen atoms attached to them. It provides detailed information about the carbon framework of molecules by selectively highlighting CH, CH2, and CH3 groups.
