This study demonstrates the first application of 31P
Dynamic Nuclear Polarization to the Phosphonates. The
experimental conditions (glassing agents, radicals
microwave irradiation frequencies, maximum polarization
build-up time, etc.) were optimized for the
hyperpolarization of Dimethyl Methyl Phosphonate. An
in-vivo experiment was then carried out at these optimum
conditions and the hyperpolarized 31P image and signal
were observed in the animal.
