INTRODUCTION
A hyphenated technique is combination (or) coupling of two different
analytical techniques with the help of proper interface. Mainly
chromatographic techniques are combined with spectroscopic
techniques.
In the chromatography, the pure or nearly pure fractions of chemical
components in a mixture was separated and spectroscopy produces
selective information for identification using standards or library
spectra.
KMCH COLLEGE OF PHARMACY 2
The term hyphenated techniques range from the combination of
separation -separation, separation-identification & identification-
identification techniques.
The term “hyphenation” was first adapted by Hirsch Feldin (1980)

LC-NMR
Instrumentation and working
 The use of HPLC-NMR or LC-NMR hyphenated technique in the analytical
laboratories started in the latter part of the 1990s only.
 LC-NMR promises to be of great value in the analysis of complex mixtures of all
types, particularly the analysis of natural products and drug-related metabolites in
biofluids.
KMCH COLLEGE OF PHARMACY 7
 LC-NMR experiments can be performed in both continuous-flow and stop-
flow modes.
A wide range of bio analytical problems can be addressed using 500, 600, and 800
MHz systems with 1H, 13C, 2H, 19F, and 31P probes.
The main prerequisites for on-line LC-NMR, in addition to the NMR and HPLC
instrumentation, are the continuous-flow probe and a valve installed before the
probe for recording either continuous-flow or stopped-flow NMR spectra.
 A UV–vis detector is also used as a primary detector for LC operation.
Magnetic field strengths higher than 9.4 T are recommended
KMCH COLLEGE OF PHARMACY 8
 In fact, the benefits of the closed-loop separation–identification circuit,
together with the prospect of using all presently available 2D and 3D NMR
techniques in a fully automated way, have prompted the development of
stopped-flow modes, e.g., time-slice mode.
 Generally, in the LC-NMR system, the LC unit comprises autosampler, LC
pump, column, and a non-NMR detector (e.g., UV, DAD, refractive index, or
radioactivity).
 From this detector, the flow is guided into the LC-NMR interface, which
can be equipped with additional loops for the intermediate storage of selected
LC peaks. The flow from the LC-NMR interface is then guided either to the
flow-cell NMR probe head or to the waste receptacle. Following passage
through the probe head, the flow is routed to a fraction collector for recovery
and further investigation of the various fractions analysed by NMR.
KMCH COLLEGE OF PHARMACY 9
 An MS can also be attached to the system via a splitter at the output of the
LC-NMR interface .In most of the LC-NMR operations, reversed-phase columns
are used, employing a binary or tertiary solvent mixture with isocratic or gradient
elution. The protons of the solvents of the mobile phase cause severe problems for
obtaining an adequate NMR spectrum.
 The receiver of the NMR spectrometer is not quite able to handle the intense
solvent signals and the weak substance signals at the same time. To overcome this
problem, solvent signal suppression can be achieved by one of the three major
methods: pre-saturation, soft-pulse multiple irradiations or water suppression
enhancement through T1 effects (WET) pre-saturation employing a z-gradient.
KMCH COLLEGE OF PHARMACY 10
This problem can also be minimized by considering the following guidelines:
1. Using eluents that have as few 1H NMR resonances as possible, e.g., H2O,
Me OH.
2. Using at least one deuterated solvent, e.g., D2O
3. Using buffers that have as few 1H NMR resonances as possible, e.g., ammonium
acetate.
4. Using ion pair reagents that have as few 1H NMR resonances as possible, e.g.,
ion pairs with t-butyl groups create an additional resonance.
KMCH COLLEGE OF PHARMACY 11
Three main types of data acquisition modes have been introduced:
continuous-flow acquisition,
stopped-flow acquisition, and
time-sliced acquisition.
Whatever may be the acquisition mode, an optimized HPLC separation is crucial to
any LC-NMR analysis. As the sensitivity of LC-NMR is much less than other
hyphenated techniques, e.g., LC-MS, or LC-PDA, it is imperative to develop a suitable
LC separation where the quantity of the available separated compound is concentrated
in the smallest available elution volume.
 LC-NMR represents a potentially interesting complementary technique to LC-
UV-MS for detailed on-line structural analysis. Indeed, recent progress in NMR
technology has given a new impulse to LC-NMR, which is now emerging as a
powerful analytical tool.
KMCH COLLEGE OF PHARMACY 12
 The development of efficient solvent suppression techniques enables the
measurement of high-qualityLC-1H-NMR spectra, both on-flow and stop-flow,
with reversed-phase HPLC conditions. Non deuterated solvents such as Me OH
or Me CN can be used, while water is replaced by D2O.
 Recent advances in both hardware and software for the direct coupling of LC
and NMR have given a new life to this hyphenated technique. These
developments include a new coil and flow cell design for high sensitivity, new
RF system for multiple solvent suppression and improved dynamic range
gradient elution capability, and automatic peak-picking/storing capabilities. As a
result, this method is a powerful tool used in many areas such as natural
products, organic molecules, biomolecules, drug impurities, by-products,
reaction mixtures, and drug degradation products.
KMCH COLLEGE OF PHARMACY 13
 The potential of HPLC-NMR for the investigation and structural elucidation of
novel natural products has been enormously extended by the advent of powerful
solvent suppression schemes, and their combination with a series of homo-and
hetero nuclear 2D NMR experiments such as 2D total correlation spectroscopy
(TOCSY) or 2D nuclear Over Hauser enhancement spectroscopy (NOESY).
However, the recent advances in technology, especially in relation to the
developments in pulse field gradients and solvent suppressions methods, the
improvement in probe technology, and the introduction of high-field magnets
(800–900 MHz) have offered new impetus to this technique.
