Cucurbit[n]urils (CB[n]s) are a family of macrocyclic host molecules that find various applications in drug delivery, molecular switching, and dye displacement assays. The CB[n]s with n = 5–7 have also been studied with 129Xe-NMR. They bind the noble gas with a large range of exchange rates. Starting with insights from conventional direct detection of bound Xe, this review summarizes recent achievements with chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) detection of efficiently exchanging Xe in various CB[n]-based supramolecular systems. Unprecedented sensitivity has been reached by combining the CEST method with hyperpolarized Xe, the production of which is also briefly described. Applications such as displacement assays for enzyme activity detection and rotaxanes as emerging types of Xe biosensors are likewise discussed in the context of biomedical applications and pinpoint future directions for translating this field to preclinical studies.

A concise matrix formulation of chemical exchange effects on a nuclear magnetic resonance (n.m.r.) spectrum using the Bloch equations is described. The method accommodates many-site exchange processes, site-dependent relaxation times, differing site populations, and saturation effects in a steady-state first-order spectrum. The simple two-site exchange system is analyzed in detail and saturation effects in this system are studied numerically. Alternative forms of the basic lineshape equation are derived, all of which are readily adapted to efficient computer calculations for complete lineshape fitting to obtain kinetic data for complicated chemical exchange processes.

A general theory of the effect of dynamics (relaxation and (or) exchange) on NMR spectra is presented. This theory is based on a reexamination of the transition probability. The classic expression for this is as the square of the transition moment, but we feel it is useful to separate the square into two separate terms. In the generalization presented here, we show that one of these terms corresponds to the share of the initial magnetization that each spin coherence receives at the start of the experiment. The second term is how much that coherence contributes to the total detected signal. The final intensity is the product of these two factors. For a static spectrum, these two terms are complex conjugates, so the product is real and we recover the standard transition probability. When there is dynamics, the product becomes complex, so the time evolution includes oscillatory and dispersive terms. This means that a dynamic spectrum is still a sum of individual transitions, but the lineshapes are distorted in phase, intensity, position, and linewidth by the dynamic process. In this paper we develop the general theory, and illustrate it with a calculation of the classic problem of mutual exchange in an AB spin system. Key words: NMR spectroscopy, transition probability, chemical exchange, kinetics.

Hyperpolarized noble gases have been used early on in applications for sensitivity enhanced NMR. 129Xe has been explored for various applications because it can be used beyond the gas-driven examination of void spaces. Its solubility in aqueous solutions and its affinity for hydrophobic binding pockets allows “functionalization” through combination with host structures that bind one or multiple gas atoms. Moreover, the transient nature of gas binding in such hosts allows the combination with another signal enhancement technique, namely chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST). Different systems have been investigated for implementing various types of so-called Xe biosensors where the gas binds to a targeted host to address molecular markers or to sense biophysical parameters. This review summarizes developments in biosensor design and synthesis for achieving molecular sensing with NMR at unprecedented sensitivity. Aspects regarding Xe exchange kinetics and chemical engineering of various classes of hosts for an efficient build-up of the CEST effect will also be discussed as well as the cavity design of host molecules to identify a pool of bound Xe. The concept is presented in the broader context of reporter design with insights from other modalities that are helpful for advancing the field of Xe biosensors.
