Michael Hope @michael-hope.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Lots to figure out in this project - how to fit DQ buildup, how to assign all the peaks, and what size leather punch you need for a 3.2 mm rotor. My pick, hidden in the SI, is a 1H(Jres)-13C experiment to assign the cis and trans alkenes based on 1H-1H J coupling in the solid(ish) state! 010
