Resumen:
Two parahydrogen
protons inserted in a molecule with symmetric structure occupy magnetically
equivalent positions and, consequently, should remain in a singlet state, an
NMR silent state. Surprisingly, this is not always the case and hyperpolarized
signals from symmetric molecules can be observed1. Particularly, we
have observed significant NMR signal enhancement during the parahydrogenation
of acetylene dicarboxylic acid dimethylester, even though it is a symmetrical
molecule and the same remains true for its product after a hydrogenation
reaction. In this work we present new experiments where the behavior of this symmetric
molecule in presence of different magnetic fields and for different evolution
periods is studied. In this way, we were able to monitor the spin system
evolving as a weak or as a strongly coupled one. By means of these experiments
we obtained some important hints to model in a simple way the dominant
relaxation mechanisms in the molecule2,3 in order to explain the unexpected
observations
