Hyperpolarized 15N-labeled, deuterated tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine as an MRI sensor of freely available Zn2+

Abstract

Dynamic nuclear polarization coupled with 15N magnetic resonance imaging can afford quantitative imaging of biologically important metal ions. Here the authors prepare 15N-enriched, d 6-deuterated tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine as an MRI sensor for freely available Zn2+.
