Abstract Chlorine NQR spin-lattice relaxation times T1Q were determined for [Co(H2O)6][PtCl6] at 4.2 400 K. Above ca. 350 K, T1Q decreased rapidly showing the onset of a reorientation of [PtCl6]2-. The activation energy Ea of this reorientation was determined as 125 ± 15 kJ mol-1. With decreasing temperature, T1Q showed a maximum at ca. 250 K. Below ca. 200 K, T1Q. is governed by the magnetic dipolar interaction between chlorines and paramagnetic Co2+ ions and is inversely proportional to the electron spin correlation time τe of CO2+ . τe is shown to be determined by the electron spin-lattice relaxation time T1e and the temperature independent correlation time rs for the spin-exchange between neighbouring ions above and below ca. 50 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of T1e is explained by assuming the Orbach process with an energy gap A/k of 530 + 20 K as T1e = 5 x 10-14 exp(530/T)s. τs was estimated to be 0.9 x 10-10 s. The temperature dependence of the ESR linewidth of Mn2+ impurities in single crystal was also measured, intending to study Co2+ spin dynamics. The limit of the ESR method is discussed by comparing the obtained results with those of the NQR method

In this paper, we report on an entirely novel way of improving the MAS-DNP efficiency by shaped μw pulse train irradiation for fast and broad-banded (FAB) saturation of the electron spin resonance. FAB-DNP achieved with Arbitrary Wave Generated shaped μw pulse trains facilitates effective and selective saturation of a defined fraction of the total electron spins, and provides superior control over the DNP efficiency under MAS. Experimental and quantum-mechanics based numerically simulated results together demonstrate that FAB-DNP significantly outperforms CW-DNP when the EPR-line of PAs is broadened by conformational distribution and exchange coupling. We demonstrate that the maximum benefit of FAB DNP is achieved when the electron spin-lattice relaxation is fast relative to the MAS frequency, i.e. at higher temperatures and/or when employing metals as PAs. Calculations predict that under short T<sub>1e </sub>conditions AWG-DNP can achieve as much as ~4-fold greater enhancement compared to CW-DNP.
