Research

Overview

• The development of parahydrogen induced polarisation methods to study chemical reactions.
• Exploiting molecular symmetry in NMR.
• Using NMR to probe dynamic behaviour and to provide direct evidence for catalytic activity.
• Using photochemistry and NMR to study reactivity.
• Using hyperpolarisation methods to sensitise biological substrates and the magnetic resonance imaging experiment.
• Using Dynamic Nuclear Polarisation to sensitise a range of substrates for use in both NMR and MRI experiments.
• Employing binuclear complexes in catalysis.

The many applications for hyperpolarization derived from parahydrogen are discussed separately.
