Molecular hydrophobic cavities can be mapped thanks to the detection of magnetization transfer from laser polarized xenon to nearby protons. This so called SPINOE approach is described. The study of the spin dynamics during this experiment and its consequences on the practical implementation are detailed. We show that thanks to the knowledge of the physical properties of the system, it becomes possible to choose the best experimental conditions in order to be able to assign magnetization transfer through two dimensional NMR methods. As an illustration, the first 2D SPIROE-TOCSY experiment is reported. To cite this article: L. Dubois et al., C. R. Physique 5 (2004). [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
