“…3. The initial state and the detection state in all magnetic resonance experiments are simple collections of single-spin or two-spin (in exotic experiments such as PHIP [47] and CIDNP [48][49][50]) orders -the magnetization that strays too far from these narrow regions of the vast state space might never find its way back.…”

“…For a final molecule involving a spin system larger than AX, overpopulation may be transferred to other spins through the combination of the different commutators involved in an equation analogous to Eq. [7], with a Hamiltonian corresponding to the whole spin system. Some transfers are possible only in the case of an ALTADENA experiment (hydrogenation reaction in zero, or almost zero, static magnetic field).…”

“…For more than 30 years, it has been known that the sensitivity of the NMR experiment can be increased (up to a factor of 10 4 -10 5 ) by means of para-enriched hydrogen (p-H 2 ) inserted in a molecule at two nonequivalent positions by an appropriate chemical reaction. This hydrogenation reaction (generally using homogeneous catalytic processes) can be performed outside the magnet of the NMR machine (ALTA-DENA experiment) or inside (PASADENA experiment) (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9). We do not go into the details of those experiments, but rather concentrate on the hyperpolarization phenomenon.…”
This article begins with general considerations about enrichment of hydrogen gas into its para isomer (corresponding to nuclear spins in the singlet state); this is a necessary condition to obtain hyperpolarization from transfer of the relevant population excess. This transfer is generally mediated by a hydrogenation reaction such that the two protons become nonequivalent. The energy level populations of this new spin system can be calculated unambiguously using a density matrix formalism. This formalism is reviewed, and the authors propose a simple method that leads to the spin state after the hydrogenation reaction and the insertion of the sample in the NMR magnet. The effect of radiofrequency pulses is also considered.
“…Although compound D involves two deuterium nuclei and represents therefore a more complex spin system, it is deemed useful to determine how 13 C hyperpolarization arises in a symmetric molecule [6] described as an AA 0 X spin system.…”

“…It is now well established that the addition of hydrogen enriched in the para spin state (para-H 2 ) to organic or inorganic compounds can lead to strongly enhanced absorptions/emissions in the 1 H NMR spectrum of the hydrogenated substrates [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
