Abstract
In nuclear magnetic resonance, long-lived coherences constitute a class of zero-quantum (ZQ) coherences that have lifetimes that can be longer than the relaxation lifetimes T2 of transverse magnetization. So far, such coherences have been observed in systems with two coupled spins with spin quantum numbers I = 1/2, where a term S0T0+T0S0 in the density operator corresponds to a coherent superposition between the singlet S0 and the central triplet T0 state. Here, we report on the excitation and detection of collective long-lived coherences in AA'MM'XX' spin systems in molecules containing a chain of at least three methylene (-CH2-) groups. Several variants of excitation by polychromatic spin-lock induced crossing (poly-SLIC) are introduced that can excite a non-uniform distribution of the amplitudes of terms such as S0S0T0S0S0T0, S0T0S0S0T0S0, and T0S0S0T0S0S0. Once the radio frequency fields are switched off, these are not eigenstates, leading to ZQ precession involving all six protons, a process that can be understood as a propagation of spin order along the chain of CH2 groups before the reconversion into observable magnetization by a second poly-SLIC pulse that can be applied to any one or several of the CH2 groups. In the resulting 2D spectra, the ω2 domain shows SQ spectra with the chemical shifts of the CH2 groups irradiated during the reconversion, while the ω1 dimension shows ZQ signals in absorption mode with linewidths on the order of 0.1 Hz that are not affected by the inhomogeneity of the static magnetic field but can be broadened by chemical exchange as occurs in drug screening. The ZQ frequencies are primarily determined by differences ΔJ between vicinal J-couplings.

JOURNAL OF MAGNETIC RESONANCE (SAN DIEGO, CALIF. : 1997) 2024; 360:107648.

Abstract
In this work we achieve a significant overpopulation (PLLS≈1%) of the long-lived spin state (LLS) of methylene protons in 2-bromoethan(2H)ol (BrEtOD) obtained in a reaction between ethylene with non-equilibrium nuclear spin order and bromine water. Given all protons in ethylene are magnetically equivalent, its nuclear states are classified into nuclear spin isomers (NSIM) with total spin I = 2,1,0. Addition of parahydrogen to acetylene produces ethylene with a population of only those NSIMs with I = 1,0. As a result of the reaction with bromine water the non-equilibrium spin order of ethylene is partly transferred to the singlet LLS involving the two methylene groups of BrEtOD. The 1H NMR signal enhancement (SE≈200) obtained as a result of the LLS readout is approximately equal to the SE of the hyperpolarized BrEtOD obtained with a single π/4 pulse. The LLS relaxation time (TLLS) was shown to be approximately 40 s (≈8T1) in the argon-bubbled sample.

Abstract
Pure shift nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy presents a promising solution to provide sufficient spectral resolution and has been increasingly applied in various branches of chemistry, but the optimal resolution is generally accompanied by long experimental times. We present a proof of concept of deep learning for fast, high-quality, and reliable pure shift NMR reconstruction. The deep learning (DL) protocol allows one to eliminate undersampling artifacts, distinguish peaks with close chemical shifts, and reconstruct high-resolution pure shift NMR spectroscopy along with accelerated acquisition. More meaningfully, the lightweight neural network delivers satisfactory reconstruction performance on personal computers by several hundred simulated data learning, which somewhat lifts the prohibiting demand for a large volume of real training samples and advanced computing hardware generally required in DL projects. Additionally, an M-to-S strategy applicable to common DL cases is further exploited to boost the network generalization capability. As a result, this study takes a meaningful step toward deep learning protocols for broad chemical applications.

Synthesis of Seven Indolizine-Derived Pentathiepines: Strong Electronic Structure Response to Nitro Substitution in Position C-9. Molecules 2023; 29:216.

Abstract
Seven new 1,2,3,4,5-pentathiepino[6,7-a]indolizines were synthesized in which the pentathiepine moieties bear an indolizine backbone that is derivatized from C-H to F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, NO2-, and CH3-substitutions, respectively, in a meta position relative to the aza group on the pyridine moiety. Their preparation took place via two common steps: (i) a Sonogashira coupling between (4-substituted) 2-bromo- or 2-chloropyridines and propynyl 3,3-diethylacetal, and (ii) a ring closing reaction mediated by a molybdenum oxo-bistetrasulfido complex and elemental sulfur. The latter simultaneously facilitates the 1,2,3,4,5-pentathiepino chain/ring- and indolizine ring-formations. The fluoro derivative was addressed with 2-bromo-5-aminopyridine as the starting material via a Sandmeyer reaction. The iodo derivative was obtained from 5-bromo-2-alkynylpiridine using a metal-assisted variation of the Finkelstein reaction. The requirement to explore different reaction conditions and the varied respective yields of the final products are discussed. The influence of the distinct substitutions on the pyridine moieties, their electronic structures, and respective chemical properties was investigated through a set of spectroscopic/analytical characterizations. Intriguingly, in all cases, the nitro-substituted derivative exhibited a distinct behavior compared to the six other investigated derivatives, which was also addressed computationally. All seven new pentathiepines were crystallized, and their respective molecular structures were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction. These structures are compared and discussed as are their respective packing patterns.

Abstract
Imaging the molecular kinetics of antioxidants by magnetic resonance can contribute to the mechanistic understanding of therapeutic approaches. Magnetic resonance detection of the response to flashes of oxidative stress requires sequential spectroscopy on the same time scale on which reactive oxygen species are generated. To this effect, we propose a single-polarization multiple-detection stroboscopic experiment. We demonstrate this experiment for the follow-up of glutathione oxidation kinetics. On-the-fly stroboscopic detection minimizes the durations necessary for single acquisitions yet necessitates sustaining of magnetization lifetimes. Long-lived proton spin states (LLS) in the cysteine and glycine residues of glutathione with TLLS up to 16 s are reached. Based on 1H LLS, we followed fast oxidation kinetics in the glutathione redox pair GSH/GSSG. This new detection method allows sampling of long-lived spin order multiple times via small flip-angle excitations. This establishes the ground for the follow-up of redox processes detecting GSH/GSSG kinetics as magnetic-resonance biomarker of FLASH oxidative processes on time scales of tens of seconds.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE (GOTTINGEN, GERMANY) 2023; 4:47-56. [PMID: 37904798 PMCID: PMC10583270 DOI: 10.5194/mr-4-47-2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 11/01/2023]
Abstract
Long-lived states (LLSs) have lifetimes T LLS that can be much longer than longitudinal relaxation times T 1 . In molecules containing several geminal pairs of protons in neighboring CH2 groups, it has been shown that delocalized LLSs can be excited by converting magnetization into imbalances between the populations of singlet and triplet states of each pair. Since the empirical yield of the conversion and reconversion of observable magnetization into LLSs and back is on the order of 10 % if one uses spin-lock induced crossing (SLIC), it would be desirable to boost the sensitivity by dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (d-DNP). To enhance the magnetization of nuclear spins by d-DNP, the analytes must be mixed with radicals such as 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl (TEMPOL). After dissolution, these radicals lead to an undesirable paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) which shortens not only the longitudinal relaxation times T 1 but also the lifetimes T LLS of LLSs. It is shown in this work that PRE by TEMPOL is less deleterious for LLSs than for longitudinal magnetization for four different molecules: 2,2-dimethyl-2-silapentane-5-sulfonate (DSS), homotaurine, taurine, and acetylcholine. The relaxivities r LLS (i.e., the slopes of the relaxation rate constants R LLS as a function of the radical concentration) are 3 to 5 times smaller than the relaxivities r 1 of longitudinal magnetization. Partial delocalization of the LLSs across neighboring CH2 groups may decrease this advantage, but in practice, this effect was observed to be small, for example, when comparing taurine containing two CH2 groups and homotaurine with three CH2 groups. Regardless of whether the LLSs are delocalized or not, it is shown that PRE should not be a major problem for experiments combining d-DNP and LLSs, provided the concentration of paramagnetic species after dissolution does not exceed 1 mM, a condition that is readily fulfilled in typical d-DNP experiments. In bullet d-DNP experiments however, it may be necessary to decrease the concentration of TEMPOL or to add ascorbate for chemical reduction.
