A NMR method to verify the presence of organic molecular compounds
consisting of repetitive occurring individual structures is presented.
The method comprises the steps of assigning structure codes to the
selected compounds, in accordance with the respective starting compounds
used, measuring multi-dimensional NMR spectra from at least some of the
compounds, uniquely assigning signal groups of NMR spectra to the
individual structures, checking the NMR spectra of the compounds for the
presence of all assigned signal groups, and characterizing a particular
compound as being TRUE if the check of its particular combination of
structures yields the result that the signal groups of structures
contained in its total code had been observed. The method permits rapid
and accurate verification of the presence of compounds having repetitive
structures such as those produced in combinatorial chemistry.
