A cryptophane cage in the vicinity of a paramagnetic center causes hyperpolarized 129 Xe in solution (blue color) to rapidly depolarize (red), due to chemical exchange relaxation transfer, as reported by N. R. Thomas, H. M. Faas, T. Meersmann et al. on p. 2294 . Interactions that deactivate this effect will preserve the hyperpolarized state for molecular imaging.
