Recording of the seminar (master-level course on Group Theory applied to molecular systems at JGU, Mainz, summer 2023) devoted to the electronic structure of the NV^- centers in diamonds.

In this talk, we present our recent work demonstrating that parahydrogen-based spin chemistry can generate hyperpolarized molecules (urea, alcohols, amino acids, ammonium, glucose, etc.) for benchtop (1 tesla) NMR as well as for zero- to ultralow-field (ZULF) NMR. I will describe the basics of exchange-based hyperpolarization and discuss potential applications for chemical analysis.
