[AMMRL] Help Needed: Broad/Missing ¹³C NMR Signals

Hi all,

I’m seeking advice on improving ¹³C NMR spectra that show
broad or missing signals.
Sample KB-P19-NO₂ in CDCl₃ had broad/missing signals,
but in DMSO it became sharp with good intensity.

Sample HY-VI-135-HH in CDCl₃ is also showing broad/missing signals
and is insoluble in Acetone, DMSO, and MeOD. We specifically want to improve
the ¹³C signals for HY-VI-135-HH.

For these experiments, I used zgpg or zgpg30 pulse programs. NMR instrument
is working fine — standard tests in CDCl₃ (ethyl benzene)
show all signals clearly. The FID files and molecular structures are attached 
for reference.

It seems sample-related, but I’m wondering:
* Could the broad signals be due to acquisition parameters?
* Are there ways to improve the signals for HY-VI-135-HH?
* Could the broadening be inherent to the molecule’s chemistry?

Any tips or shared experience would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
--
