Hyperpolarized para-Ethanol
We show that an imbalance between the populations of singlet (S) and triplet (T) states in pairs of magnetically equivalent spins can be generated by dissolution dynamic nudear polarization: In partly deuterated ethanol ((CD3CH2OD)-C-13), this T/S imbalance can be transferred by cross-relaxation to observable, enhanced signals of protons and coupled C-13.
