Degeneracy in cryptophane-xenon complex formation in aqueous solution

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jan 31;51(9):1721-4. doi: 10.1039/c4cc08601e.

Abstract

The reversible binding of xenon to cryptophane molecules is currently heavily explored for application as a reporter system in NMR. Herein, for aqueous solution, first evidence of degenerate exchange in this host-guest system is presented based on a novel approach using hyperpolarized (129)Xe.
