Quantitative analysis of complex mixtures by NMR is often hampered by heavily overlapping signals in 1D H-1 or C-13 spectra. To resolve the overlap problem, we have been looking at the possibilities of using heteronuclear correlated 2D NMR methods for quantification. In this work, we applied 2D INEPT to analyze mixtures of tetradecane and squalane, which represent typical substructures of lube oil fractions. The factors affecting correlation peak volumes, namely the polarization transfer delays within pulse sequence, multiplicity of CHn group and the magnitude of (1)J((C,H)) couplings were taken into account by product operator formalism calculations. The results indicate that if absolute precision in quantification is not essential, the current approach can be used for the quantitative analysis of the molecular composition of complex mixtures when conventional 1D NMR methods fail.
