Abstract
Cyclic cross-polarization from a proton magnetization to 13C and from there back to proton coherences permits the indirect, 13C chemical shift selective detection of hydrocarbon compounds in the proton NMR channel. This excitation technique can be combined with elements of one-, two- or three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging permitting the measurement of time-resolved spatial distributions of hydrocarbon components. Beginning this sort of CYCLCROP mapping experiment with a non-equilibrium distribution of the constituents in the system allows one to study the time evolution of the concentrations of all components that can be identified by characteristic 13C resonance lines. As applications, studies of ingress, mixing, gel formation, transport and metabolism in living plants, long-time inter- and self-diffusion in complex hydrocarbon systems are suggested. As a test experiment, the diffusion of methanol in swollen polymethylmethacrylate was examined.
