Abstract
Volatile species and large gas atoms, such as xenon, can diffuse into the aromatic nanochannels of a solid comprising tris(o-phenylenedioxy)-cyclophosphazene molecules held together by weak interactions. Continuous-flow laser-polarized 129Xe NMR spectroscopy shows an anisotropic signal from the xenon atoms inside the crystals as soon as 200 ms after contact of the polarized gas with the sample. The xenon chemical shift anisotropy is concentration dependent (see picture) and undergoes a sign inversion as a result of the change of the symmetry of electron cloud.
