Nuclear hyperpolarization is a phenomenon that can be used to improve the sensitivity of magnetic resonance molecular sensors. However, such sensors typically suffer from short hyperpolarization lifetime. Herein we report that [<sup>15</sup>N, D<sub>14</sub>]trimethylphenylammonium (TMPA) has a remarkably long spin-lattice relaxation time (1128 s, 14.1 T, 30 °C, D<sub>2</sub>O) on its <sup>15</sup>N nuclei and achieves a long retention of the hyperpolarized state. [<sup>15</sup>N, D<sub>14</sub> ...[more]
