Duplicate detection of 2D-NMR Spectra

2D-Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra are used in the (structural) analysis of small molecules. In contrast to 1D-NMR spectra, 2D-NMR spectra correlate the chemical shifts of 1H and 13C at the same time. A spectrum consists of several peaks in a twodimensional space. The most important information of a peak is the location of its center, which captures the bonding relationships of hydrogen and carbon atoms. A spectrum contains much information about the chemical structure of a product, but in most cases the structure cannot be read off in a simple and straightforward manner. Structure elucidation involves a considerable amount (manual) efforts. Using high-field NMR spectrometers, many 2D-NMR spectra can be recorded in short time. So the common situation is that a lab or company has a repository of 2D-NMR spectra, partially annotated with the structural information. For the remaining spectra the structure in unknown. In case two research labs are collaborating, the repositories ...
