Abstract:

Great progresses have been made in the past decades in understanding intra- and inter-molecular multiple-quantum coherences (MQCs) and developing their applications in nuclear magnetic resonance. To develop further applications for MQCs, it is useful to understand their physical bases and ways of practical implementation. In this review, the principles of dipolar coupling are described firstly. Comprehensive descriptions of MQCs based on intra- and inter-molecular dipolar coupling are then summarized, respectively. Finally, the applications of intra- and inter-molecular MQCs in chemistry and biomedicine are presented.

Key words: NMR, dipolar coupling, inter-molecular multiple-quantum coherences (MQC), intra-molecular MQCs, MRI
