Hyperpolarization turns typically weak NMR and MRI responses into strong signals so that ordinarily impractical measurements become possible. The potential to revolutionize analytical NMR and clinical diagnosis through this approach reflect this area's most compelling outcomes. Methods to optimize the low-cost parahydrogen-based approach signal amplification by reversible exchange with studies ...

Cinnoline (1,2-diazanaphthalene) is of particular interest among the diazanaphthalenes. Its triplet quantum yield upon photoexcitation depends strongly on the temperature and the solvent environment. At the beginning of this study, the properties of the lowest triplet electronic state were not understood either. To elucidate the photophysics of cinnoline, we implemented algorithms based on the ...
