Temperature Dependence of the Proton Overhauser DNP Enhancements on Aqueous Solutions of Fremy's Salt Measured in a Magnetic Field of 9.2 T
The temperature dependence of the water-proton dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) enhancement from Fremy's salt nitroxide radicals was measured in a magnetic field of 9.2 T (corresponding to 260 GHz microwave (MW) and 392 MHz NMR frequencies) in the temperature range of 15-65 °C. The temperature could be determined directly from the proton NMR line shift of the sample. Very high DNP enhancements of -38 (signal integral) or -81 (peak intensity) could be achieved with a high-power gyrotron MW source. The experimental findings are compared with classical Overhauser theory for liquids, which is based on the translational and rotational motion of the molecules and with molecular dynamics calculations of the coupling factor. © 2012 Springer-Verlag
Dynamic nuclear polarization at high magnetic fields in liquids
High field dynamic nuclear polarization spectrometer for liquid samples have
been constructed. ► The field dependence of the Overhauser DNP efficiency has
been measured for the first time up to 9.2 T. ► High DNP enhancements for
liquid samples have been observed at high magnetic fields. ► The enhancements
have been compared with results from NMRD, MD and theoretical models. ►

Probing Flexibility in Porphyrin-Based Molecular Wires Using Double Electron Electron Resonance
A series of butadiyne-linked zinc porphyrin oligomers, with one, two, three, and four porphyrin units and lengths of up to 75 angstrom, have been spin-labeled at both ends with stable nitroxide TEMPO radicals. The pulsed EPR technique of double electron electron resonance (DEER) was used to probe the distribution of intramolecular end-to-end distances, under a range of conditions. DEER measurements were carried out at 50 K in two types of dilute solution glasses: deutero-toluene (with 10% deutero-pyridine) and deutero-o-terphenyl (with 5% 4-benzyl pyridine). The complexes of the porphyrin oligomers with monodentate ligands (pyridine or 4-benzyl pyridine) principally adopt linear conformations. Nonlinear conformations are less populated in the lower glass-transition temperature solvent. When the oligomers bind star-shaped multidentate ligands, they are forced to bend into nonlinear geometries, and the experimental end-to-end distances for these complexes match those from molecular mechanics calculations. Our results show that porphyrin-based molecular wires are shape-persistent, and yet that their shapes can deformed by binding to multivalent ligands. Self-assembled ladder-shaped 2:2 complexes were also investigated to illustrate the scope of DEER measurements for providing structural information on synthetic noncovalent nanostructures
