Quaternary ammonium substrates are of huge
interest in the pharmaceutical field. Here, the hyperpolarization of new
fluorinated pyridinium ions was examined. The effect of the positive charged
nitrogen relating to the polarization transfer inside the molecule was proven
and compared with the 1H, 13C and 19F hyperpolarization
examinations of 2-(3-fluoro-phenyl)-3-buten-2-ol. The observed effect can be
used for localization of polarization and for the synthesis of extened MR signal enhancements.
