“…[26][27][28][29] The PHIP approach has therefore developed substantially from the early starting point of Weitekamp, 30, 31 Eisenberg 32,33 and Bargon, 34,35 as illustrated in several reviews. 11,12 In order to understand the physical basis of PHIP, p-H 2 needs to be recognised as simply dihydrogen that exists in the anti-symmetric magnetic state that is represented by the nuclear wave function { . 36 It is easy to prepare, and when a molecule of it is introduced into a reaction product, in high magnetic field, if the two newly formed hydrogen nuclei become chemically distinct then, in the absence of relaxation, they exist initially in two equally populated, and coupled, and states.…”
