A large variety of new selective excitation methods recently has been proposed for suppressing the Hz0 resonance from the NMR spectra of samples dissolved in H20. These methods include time-shared hard pulse sequences (l-4), combinations of hard and soft pulses (5, 6) and “two-stage” time-shared hard pulse sequences (7, 8). In the two-stage suppression, the suppression per individual scan is relatively low but sufficient to avoid dynamic range problems in the spectrometer receiver; after the second stage (consisting of EXORCYCLE (9) phase cycling of a ll refocusing pulse) very high suppression can be obtained. All approaches mentioned above, as well as a large number of other schemes proposed previously, are well suited for generating conventional 1 D NMR spectra. Phase distortions in the 1 D NMR spectra obtained with most of these methods can be removed to a large extent by linear or higher order phase corrections, and the remaining baseline distortions generally do not prohibit accurate measurement of peak positions or intensities. However, when generating phase-sensitive 2D NMR spectra, baseline distortions remaining after the first Fourier transformation give rise to serious distortions in the final 2D spectrum, especially in the vicinity of intense resonances. Even relatively small phase distortions (4, 5) can cause severe baseline problems in the 2D spectrum. Only a few methods are available that yield spectra without any phase distortion. These include (a) the 90,“-902,(I-1 or jumpand-return) sequence (1)(b) a soft (Gaussian)-shaped 90,” pulse followed by a nonselective 902, pulse (5) and (c) the “ll echo” scheme (7). Schemes (a) and (b) provide relatively poor suppression of the HZ0 resonance due to the sharp null in the excitation profile; scheme (c) provides high suppression but has an undesirable sin3 offset dependence of the excitation profile. Here we present a new method, of the twostage type, that offers very good water suppression and a nearly ideal excitation profile. The pulse scheme is depicted in Fig. la. The sequence starts with a soft 900, pulse that rotates the HZ0 magnetization to the x axis of the rotating frame. A subsequent nonselective 90, pulse followed by a short (about 2 ms) spin lock is used to measure the remaining z magnetization. The water suppression obtainable from a single ex-
