Abstract:
The potential of 1H NMR for detecting solutes on either side of an interface between two immiscible liquids and studying their kinematic behavior is analysed. First, localised spectroscopy was used to monitor the migration of a solute from an aqueous phase to an organic phase and its self-diffusion coefficient was measured slice by slice within the two phases, validating the NMR approach. Next, a fast version of localised spectroscopy (Radsl-CSI) was designed and applied to track the migration of species hyperpolarised by parahydrogen from the organic phase where they are produced to the aqueous phase. This sequence evidenced the transfer of hyperpolarised pyridine from the organic phase to the aqueous phase.

The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...
