A simple, selective pulse sequence has been developed whereby the equivalent of a continuous wave INDOR nmr experiment, can be performed in the pulse Fourier transform mode of operation. The advantages and limitations of this approach for proton nmr studies are demonstrated with four samples, uridine (1), cytidine (2), vinyl acetate (3), and 2,3,4,-tri-O-acetyl-1,6-anhydro-β-D-mannopyranose (4). The observed responses depend upon the flip angle of the monitoring pulse. A small flip angle (20–30°) detects responses only for those transitions having an energy level in common with the perturbed transition, whereas a 90°-flip angle also results in responses from those transitions which have an indirect connectivity relationship.
