Abstract
Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (D-DNP) has become a method of choice to enhance signals in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Recently, we have proposed to combine cross-polarization (CP) with D-DNP to provide high polarization P((13)C) in short build-up times. In this paper, we show that switching microwave irradiation off for a few hundreds of milliseconds prior to CP can significantly boost the efficiency. By implementing microwave gating, (13)C polarizations on sodium [1-(13)C]acetate as high as 64% could be achieved with a polarization build-up time constant as short as 160 s. A polarization of P((13)C) = 78% could even be reached for [(13)C]urea.
