Reported here is a water soluble Rh(I)-based catalyst for performing parahydrogen induced polarization (PHIP). The [Rh(I)(norbornadiene)(THP)(2)](+)[BF(4)](-) catalyst utilizes the monodentate phosphine ligand tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphine (THP). The monodentate PHIP catalyst is less susceptible to oxygenation by air and THP ligand and is significantly less expensive than bidentate water-soluble PHIP ligands. In situ PHIP detection with this monodentate Rh(I) based catalyst in water yielded 12% ( ...[more]
