Abstract
Magnetic resonance techniques are successfully utilized in a broad range of scientific disciplines and in various practical applications, with medical magnetic resonance imaging being the most widely known example. Currently, both fundamental and applied magnetic resonance are enjoying a major boost owing to the rapidly developing field of spin hyperpolarization. Hyperpolarization techniques are able to enhance signal intensities in magnetic resonance by several orders of magnitude, and thus to largely overcome its major disadvantage of relatively low sensitivity. This provides new impetus for existing applications of magnetic resonance and opens the gates to exciting new possibilities. In this review, we provide a unified picture of the many methods and techniques that fall under the umbrella term "hyperpolarization" but are currently seldom perceived as integral parts of the same field. Specifically, before delving into the individual techniques, we provide a detailed analysis of the underlying principles of spin hyperpolarization. We attempt to uncover and classify the origins of hyperpolarization, to establish its sources and the specific mechanisms that enable the flow of polarization from a source to the target spins. We then give a more detailed analysis of individual hyperpolarization techniques: the mechanisms by which they work, fundamental and technical requirements, characteristic applications, unresolved issues, and possible future directions. We are seeing a continuous growth of activity in the field of spin hyperpolarization, and we expect the field to flourish as new and improved hyperpolarization techniques are implemented. Some key areas for development are in prolonging polarization lifetimes, making hyperpolarization techniques more generally applicable to chemical/biological systems, reducing the technical and equipment requirements, and creating more efficient excitation and detection schemes. We hope this review will facilitate the sharing of knowledge between subfields within the broad topic of hyperpolarization, to help overcome existing challenges in magnetic resonance and enable novel applications.

Abstract
NMR spectroscopy is the only method to access the structural dynamics of biomolecules at high (atomistic) resolution in their native solution state. However, this method's low sensitivity has two important consequences: (i) typically experiments have to be performed at high concentrations that increase sensitivity but are not physiological, and (ii) signals have to be accumulated over long periods, complicating the determination of interaction kinetics on the order of seconds and impeding studies of unstable systems. Both limitations are of equal, fundamental relevance: non-native conditions are of limited pharmacological relevance, and the function of proteins, enzymes and nucleic acids often relies on their interaction kinetics. To overcome these limitations, we have developed applications that involve 'hyperpolarized water' to boost signal intensities in NMR of proteins and nucleic acids. The technique includes four stages: (i) preparation of the biomolecule in partially deuterated buffers, (ii) preparation of 'hyperpolarized' water featuring enhanced 1H NMR signals via cryogenic dynamic nuclear polarization, (iii) sudden melting of the cryogenic pellet and dissolution of the protein or nucleic acid in the hyperpolarized water (enabling spontaneous exchanges of protons between water and target) and (iv) recording signal-amplified NMR spectra targeting either labile 1H or neighboring 15N/13C nuclei in the biomolecule. Water in the ensuing experiments is used as a universal 'hyperpolarization' agent, rendering the approach versatile and applicable to any biomolecule possessing labile hydrogens. Thus, questions can be addressed, ranging from protein and RNA folding problems to resolving structure-function relationships of intrinsically disordered proteins to investigating membrane interactions.

Abstract
Parahydrogen-induced polarisation (PHIP) is a nuclear spin hyperpolarisation technique employed to enhance NMR signals for a wide range of molecules. This is achieved by exploiting the chemical reactions of parahydrogen (para-H2), the spin-0 isomer of H2. These reactions break the molecular symmetry of para-H2 in a way that can produce dramatically enhanced NMR signals for reaction products, and are usually catalysed by a transition metal complex. In this review, we discuss recent advances in novel homogeneous catalysts that can produce hyperpolarised products upon reaction with para-H2. We also discuss hyperpolarisation attained in reversible reactions (termed signal amplification by reversible exchange, SABRE) and focus on catalyst developments in recent years that have allowed hyperpolarisation of a wider range of target molecules. In particular, recent examples of novel ruthenium catalysts for trans and geminal hydrogenation, metal-free catalysts, iridium sulfoxide-containing SABRE systems, and cobalt complexes for PHIP and SABRE are reviewed. Advances in this catalysis have expanded the types of molecules amenable to hyperpolarisation using PHIP and SABRE, and their applications in NMR reaction monitoring, mechanistic elucidation, biomedical imaging, and many other areas, are increasing.

Abstract
Cobalt-NHC complexes have emerged as an attractive class of 3d transition metal catalysts for a broad range of chemical processes, including cross-coupling, hydrogenation, hydrofunctionalization and cycloaddition reactions. Herein, we present a comprehensive review of catalytic methods utilizing cobalt-NHC complexes with a focus on catalyst structure, the role of the NHC ligand, properties of the catalytic system, mechanism and synthetic utility. The survey clearly suggests that the recent emergence of well-defined cobalt-NHC catalysts may have a tremendous utility in the design and application of catalytic reactions using more abundant 3d transition metals.

Abstract
Hyperpolarized nuclear magnetic resonance and lab-on-a-chip microfluidics are two dynamic, but until recently quite distinct, fields of research. Recent developments in both areas increased their synergistic overlap. By microfluidic integration, many complex experimental steps can be brought together onto a single platform. Microfluidic devices are therefore increasingly finding applications in medical diagnostics, forensic analysis, and biomedical research. In particular, they provide novel and powerful ways to culture cells, cell aggregates, and even functional models of entire organs. Nuclear magnetic resonance is a non-invasive, high-resolution spectroscopic technique which allows real-time process monitoring with chemical specificity. It is ideally suited for observing metabolic and other biological and chemical processes in microfluidic systems. However, its intrinsically low sensitivity has limited its application. Recent advances in nuclear hyperpolarization techniques may change this: under special circumstances, it is possible to enhance NMR signals by up to 5 orders of magnitude, which dramatically extends the utility of NMR in the context of microfluidic systems. Hyperpolarization requires complex chemical and/or physical manipulations, which in turn may benefit from microfluidic implementation. In fact, many hyperpolarization methodologies rely on processes that are more efficient at the micro-scale, such as molecular diffusion, penetration of electromagnetic radiation into a sample, or restricted molecular mobility on a surface. In this review we examine the confluence between the fields of hyperpolarization-enhanced NMR and microfluidics, and assess how these areas of research have mutually benefited one another, and will continue to do so.

Abstract
Signal amplification by reversible exchange (SABRE) hyperpolarisation is used to enhance the NMR signals of nicotine and acrolein in methanol-d4 solutions of electronic cigarette aerosols. Consequently, detection of 74 μM nicotine is possible in just a single scan 1H NMR spectrum. The first example of an aldehyde hyperpolarised using SABRE is demonstrated and we work towards novel real-world applications of SABRE-hyperpolarised NMR for chemical analysis.

Abstract
The antiphase character of the PHIP associated signals after a hydrogenation reaction is particularly sensitive to line broadening introduced by magnetic field inhomogeneities and interferences by the presence of resonance lines steaming from a large amount of thermally polarized spins. These obstacles impose a limitation in the detection of reaction products as well as in the experimental setups. A simple way to overcome these impediments consists of acquiring the signal with a train of refocusing pulses instead of a single r.f. pulse. We present here a number of examples where this multipulse acquisition, denominated PhD-PHIP, displays its potentiality in improving the information related to hyperpolarized spins performed in a sample, where the former parahydrogen nuclei are part of a complex J-coupling network.

Abstract
The role of ligands in rhodium- and iridium-catalyzed Parahydrogen Induced Polarization (PHIP) and SABRE (signal amplification by reversible exchange) chemistry has been studied in the benchmark systems, [Rh(diene)(diphos)]+ and [Ir(NHC)(sub)3 (H)2 ]+ , and shown to have a great impact on the degree of hyperpolarization observed. Here, we examine the role of the flanking moieties in the electron-rich monoanionic bis(carbene) aryl pincer ligand, Ar CCC (Ar=Dipp, 2,6-diisopropyl or Mes, 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) on the cobalt-catalyzed PHIP and PHIP-IE (PHIP via Insertion and Elimination) chemistry that we have previously reported. The mesityl groups were exchanged for diisopropylphenyl groups to generate the (Dipp CCC)Co(N2 ) catalyst, which resulted in faster hydrogenation and up to 390-fold 1 H signal enhancements, larger than that of the (Mes CCC)Co-py (py=pyridine) catalyst. Additionally, the synthesis of the (Dipp CCC)Rh(N2 ) complex is reported and applied towards the hydrogenation of ethyl acrylate with parahydrogen to generate modest signal enhancements of both 1 H and 13 C nuclei. Lastly, the generation of two (Mes CCC)Ir complexes is presented and applied towards SABRE and PHIP-IE chemistry to only yield small 1 H signal enhancements of the partially hydrogenated product (PHIP) with no SABRE hyperpolarization.

Abstract
Parahydrogen-induced polarization (PHIP) is a source of nuclear spin hyperpolarization, and this technique allows for the preparation of biomolecules for in vivo metabolic imaging. PHIP delivers hyperpolarization in the form of proton singlet order to a molecule, but most applications require that a heteronuclear (e.g. 13C or 15N) spin in the molecule is hyperpolarized. Here we present high field pulse methods to manipulate proton singlet order in the [1-13C]fumarate, and in particular to transfer the proton singlet order into 13C magnetization. We exploit adiabatic pulses, i.e., pulses with slowly ramped amplitude, and use constant-adiabaticity variants: the spin Hamiltonian is varied in such a way that the generalized adiabaticity parameter is time-independent. This allows for faster polarization transfer, and we achieve 96.2% transfer efficiency in thermal equilibrium experiments. We demonstrate this in experiments using hyperpolarization, and obtain 6.8% 13C polarization. This work paves the way for efficient hyperpolarization of nuclear spins in a variety of biomolecules, since the high-field pulse sequences allow individual spins to be addressed.

Abstract
The mechanistic insights into hydrogenations of hex-5-en-2-one, isoprene, and 4-vinylcyclohex-1-ene catalyzed by pincer (MesCCC)Co (Mes = bis(mesityl-benzimidazol-2-ylidene)phenyl) complexes are computationally investigated by using the density functional theory. Different from a previously proposed mechanism with a cobalt dihydrogen complex (MesCCC)Co-H2 as the catalyst, we found that its less stable dihydride isomer, (MesCCC)Co(H)2, is the real catalyst in those catalytic cycles. The generations of final products with H2 cleavages for the formations of C−H bonds are the turnover-limiting steps in all three hydrogenation reactions. We found that the hydrogenation selectivity of different C=C bonds in the same compound is dominated by the steric effects, while the hydrogenation selectivity of C=C and C=O bonds in the same compound could be primarily influenced by the electronic effects. In addition, the observed inhabition of the hydrogenation reactions by excessive addition of PPh3 could be explained by a 15.8 kcal/mol free energy barrier for the dissociation of PPh3 from the precatalyst.

Abstract
The synthesis of new moisture-sensitive imine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) precursor salts [1-(2-[(hydroxyl-benzylidene)-amino]-ethyl)-3-R-3H-imidazole-1-ium bromide; R = methyl (1a), ethyl (1b), and benzyl (1c)] is reported. Subsequent deprotonation of 1a-c and coordination of the in situ generated NHC ligands to CoBr2 led to the isolation of air-stable six-coordinate Co(III) complexes 2a-c, respectively. All the salts and complexes were fully characterized. Single-crystal X-ray analysis of 2a and 2c showed octahedral Co centers hexacoordinated to two NHC carbons, two imine nitrogen atoms, and two phenolate oxygens in the form [C^N^O(Co3+)C^N^O]. The complexes were used in the catalytic transfer hydrogenation (CTH) of a range of ketones in 2-propanol as the solvent and hydrogen donor. Based on a low catalyst concentration of 0.4 mol %, significant conversions in the range of 70-99% were recorded at high turnover frequencies up to 1635 h-1. A mechanism to account for the steps involved in the CTH of cyclohexanone by complex 2a is proposed and supported by data from cyclic voltammetry, low-resolution mass spectrometry, UV, and IR spectroscopic techniques.

Abstract
N,N-Diborylamines have emerged as promising reagents in organic synthesis; however, their efficient preparation and full synthetic utility have yet to be realized. To address both shortcomings, an effective catalyst for nitrile dihydroboration was sought. Heating CoCl2 in the presence of PyEtPDI afforded the six-coordinate Co(II) salt, [(PyEtPDI)CoCl][Cl]. Upon adding 2 equiv of NaEt3BH, hydride transfer to one chelate imine functionality was observed, resulting in the formation of (κ4-N,N,N,N-PyEtIPCHMeNEtPy)Co. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and density functional theory calculations revealed that this compound possesses a low-spin Co(II) ground state featuring antiferromagnetic coupling to a singly reduced imino(pyridine) moiety. Importantly, (κ4-N,N,N,N-PyEtIPCHMeNEtPy)Co was found to catalyze the dihydroboration of nitriles using HBPin with turnover frequencies of up to 380 h-1 at ambient temperature. Stoichiometric addition experiments revealed that HBPin adds across the Co-Namide bond to generate a hydride intermediate that can react with additional HBPin or nitriles. Computational evaluation of the reaction coordinate revealed that the B-H addition and nitrile insertion steps occur on the antiferromagnetically coupled triplet spin manifold. Interestingly, formation of the borylimine intermediate was found to occur following BPin transfer from the borylated chelate arm to regenerate (κ4-N,N,N,N-PyEtIPCHMeNEtPy)Co. Borylimine reduction is in turn facile and follows the same ligand-assisted borylation pathway. The independent hydroboration of alkyl and aryl imines was also demonstrated at 25 °C. With a series of N,N-diborylamines in hand, their addition to carboxylic acids allowed for the direct synthesis of amides at 120 °C, without the need for an exogenous coupling reagent.
