Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) can effectively form a glassy matrix necessary for dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) experiments. We tested the effects of (13)C enrichment in DMSO on DNP of [1-(13)C]pyruvate doped with trityl radical OX063Me. We found that the polarization build-up time τ of pyruvate in (13)C-labeled DMSO glassing solution is twice as fast as the unenriched DMSO while the nuclear magnetic resonance enhancement was unchanged. This indicates that (13)C-(13)C spin diffusion is a limiting factor in the kinetics of DNP in this system, but it has a minimal effect on the absolute value of polarization achievable for the target.
二甲基亚砜 (DMSO) 可以有效地形成用于动态核极化 (DNP) 实验的玻璃基质。我们测试了 DMSO 中 (13)C 富集对三苯基自由基 OX063Me 掺杂的 [1-(13)C]丙酮酸的 DNP 的影响。我们发现,(13)C 标记 DMSO 玻璃化溶液中丙酮酸的极化建立时间 τ 是未富集 DMSO 的两倍快,而核磁共振增强保持不变。这表明在该体系中,(13)C-(13)C 自旋扩散是 DNP 动力学的限制因素,但对目标可实现极化的绝对值影响最小。
