Azide moieties, unique linear species containing three nitrogen atoms, represent an attractive class of molecular tag for hyperpolarized magnetic resonance imaging (HP-MRI). Here we demonstrate (<sup>15</sup>N)<sub>3</sub>-azide-containing molecules exhibit long-lasting hyperpolarization lifetimes up to 9.8 min at 1 T with remarkably high polarization levels up to 11.6% in water, thus establishing (<sup>15</sup>N)<sub>3</sub>-azide as a powerful spin storage for hyperpolarization. A single (<sup ...[more]
