Supercharged NMR magnet for seeing molecules better
Iridium Cyclooctene Complex That Forms a Hyperpolarization Transfer Catalyst before Converting to a Binuclear C–H Bond Activation Product Responsible for Hydrogen Isotope Exchange

Surprising Findings
The binuclear complex is inactive for SABRE but can still transfer magnetization when mixed with the active catalyst
Most researchers would expect inactive catalysts to be useless, but this one actually helps the active catalyst work better by transferring polarization to pyridine molecules.
Practical Takeaways
Use this iridium complex for hyperpolarization in lab settings where air stability and ease of preparation are important
