Blatter-type radicals as polarizing agents for electrochemical overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Christophe Roussel, Jonas Milani, Holger Frauenrath, Felipe Andres Saenz Padilla, Mika Antero Tamski

Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization (O-DNP) refers to a microwave-assisted process where an unpaired electron's (e.g. a radical) spin polarization is transferred to surrounding nuclei in solution, thus increasing the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) si ...
