Structural characterization by solid-state NMR • SS-NMR spectroscopy has an unparalleled ability to provide atomic-level structural characterization of materials: • most elements have NMR-active isotopes • nuclear spins are excellent, site-dependent “reporters” of local structure and dynamic processes • Challenges: • intrinsically low sensitivity of NMR • low resolution; homogeneous and inhomogeneous line broadening in solids • Transformational role of emerging SSNMR methods/technologies: • ultrafast magic-angle spinning (MAS); indirect detection • hyperpolarization of nuclear spins; dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) • ultrahigh field NMR
Ultrafast MAS NMR probes with ultrafast MAS capabilities: new pulse sequences/theory; improved resolution & sensitivity • MAS rate: 45 kHz • volume: ~9 μl • introduced: ~2005 • MAS rate: 120+ kHz • volume: ~0.3 μl • introduced: ~2012 Transformational role of ultrafast MAS in SSNMR: • improved 1H resolution • (Δν~(νMAS)-1) • indirect detection • sideband-free spectra • better sensitivity/spin • higher RF fields • improved decoupling/recoupling • dipolar truncation Compatible with DNP & high-field magnets

Hyperpolarizing nuclei via polarization transfer; DNP Double resonance: • Conventional NMR: involve a second nuclide; e.g.,1H-X polarization transfer, via cross-polarization (CP) or INEPT; indirect detection • DNP: involve electrons: • Combining DNP with CP; e.g. a scheme: can yield DNP SSNMR spectrometer installed at the Ames Laboratory in 2014 (9.4 T, 263 GHz) Schematic diagram of DNP SSNMR system • See e.g: T. Maly, R.G. Griffin, et al., J. Chem. Phys. 2008, 128, 052211.

Modern DNP SSNMR • Polarization mechanism - cross-effect (CE); a nucleus must be coupled to 2 electrons (e.g. in biradicals), such that |ωe1-ωe2| = ωn • Biradicals (below, left) are typically dissolved, and impregnated into the material Polarization mechanism Proline with 10 mM AMUPol in H2O: DNP enhancement: ε= 250 microwave 1H-X polarization transfer cross effect Signal enhancement: ε = γe/γH≈ 660 ε = γe/γN≈ 6500 DNP-enhanced Conventional Nitroxo biradical molecule (AMUPol) 1H 1H ••••• 1H X spin diffusion in frozen solvent R = (CH2CH2O)4Me • T.
