The chemical inertness of fluorinated alkanes makes them ideal for in vivo application, e.g. molecular imaging. Here, the hyperpolarization of four semifluorinated substrates is presented by using the parahydrogen induced polarization (PHIP). 1H,1H,2H-perfluorohexane, 1H,1H,2H-perfluorooctane, 1H,1H,2H-perfluorodecane and perfluoro-(4-methylpentane) are chosen to demonstrate the polarization transfer from protons over a chain of CF 2 respectively CF groups to the end-standing CF 3 groups, which leads in a nonuniform distribution of the polarization. Additionally studies in presence of cyclodextrin derivatives show a molecular interaction between cyclodextrin and the lipophilic semifluorinated substrate. This allows the transport into an aqueous solution, which is important for biomedical applications.
