Article Abstract

The most versatile method to increase liquid-state (13)C NMR sensitivity is dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization. The use of trityl radicals is usually required to obtain very large (13)C polarization via this technique. We herein demonstrate that up to 35% liquid-state (13)C polarization can be obtained in about 1.5 h using ubiquitous nitroxyl radicals in (13)C-labeled sodium salts by partially deuterating the solvents and using a polarizer operating at 1 K and 7 T.

At present, two competing hyperpolarization (HP) techniques, dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and parahydrogen (para-H) induced polarization (PHIP), can generate sufficiently high liquid state C signal enhancement for in vivo studies. PHIP utilizes the singlet spin state of para-H to create non-equilibrium spin populations. In hydrogenative PHIP, para-H is irreversibly added to unsaturated precursors, typically in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst.

Despite its versatility and high chemical specificity, conventional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is limited in measurement throughput due to the need for high-homogeneity magnetic fields, necessitating sequential sample analysis, and expensive devices. Here, we propose a multichannel NMR device that addresses these limitations by leveraging the zero-to ultralow-field (ZULF) regime, where simultaneous detection of multiple samples is carried out via an array of compact optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs). A magnetic field is used only for prepolarization, permitting the use of large-bore, high-field, magnets that can accommodate multiple samples concurrently.

Ionic liquids are tunable solvents composed entirely of ions that have properties desirable as electrolytes for lithium batteries such as nonflammability and a large electrochemical stability window. Solvate ionic liquids are a subclass of ionic liquids that consist of a glyme-based solvent and lithium salt in an equimolar ratio, where Li cation-glyme solvation interactions result in ionic liquid-like properties. LiG4TFSI is a well-studied solvate ionic liquid consisting of equimolar amounts of lithium bis-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide (LiTFSI) and tetraglyme (G4).

Infrared thermal activation (IRTA) is considered an efficient approach to accelerate reaction rates. The manuscript reports the first example of application of IRTA to achieve surface functionalization of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) under solvent-less conditions with epoxidized linoleic acid (ELA), synthesized by enzymatic approach using CaLB (lipase B from Candida antarctica) and HO. The final goal is to enhance the hydrophobicity of cellulosic surfaces of bio-based materials, with potential application in the coating industry.
