Background check: Dynamic nuclear polarization of 13C magnetic nuclei in the liquid state leads to NMR spectroscopy signal‐to‐noise enhancements of 101–103 over a 10 Tesla range. A field‐dependent investigation reveals different optimal conditions for an efficient mechanism. Sizable enhancements 13CH2 and 13CH3 groups in organic molecules open new perspectives for a broader application of this method.
Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques play an essential role in natural science and medicine. In spite of the tremendous utility associated with the small energies detected, the most severe limitation is the low signal‐to‐noise ratio. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP), a technique based on transfer of polarization from electron to nuclear spins, has emerged as a tool to enhance sensitivity of NMR. However, the approach in liquids still faces several challenges. Herein we report the observation of room‐temperature, liquid DNP 13C signal enhancements in organic small molecules as high as 600 at 9.4 Tesla and 800 at 1.2 Tesla. A mechanistic investigation of the 13C‐DNP field dependence shows that DNP efficiency is raised by proper choice of the polarizing agent (paramagnetic center) and by halogen atoms as mediators of scalar hyperfine interaction. Observation of sizable DNP of 13CH2 and 13CH3 groups in organic molecules at 9.4 T opens perspective for a broader application of this method.
