19F with 1H Decoupling

(Unfortunately, this experiment cannot be run on the 500 cryoprobe)

Comparing 19F spectra with and without 1H decoupling can probe the interaction between 19F and neighboring 1H.

Here is a comparison. Sample: (CF3)2COOH in 90/10 H2O/D2O. Note that the 19F-1H J coupling is ca. 8 Hz even though they are four bonds away. (run on the old DPX300. Now gone)
