Irradiation of D2O solutions containing various phenols with aliphatic amides at pH values between 9 and 12 results in nuclear spin polarization which is observed as n.m.r. emission signals during irradiation. No polarization is observed for the phenols which include tyrosine, cresol, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, phenol, and others. For the amides which include acetamide, propionamide, N-methylacetamide, and N,N-dimethylacetamide, polarization was observed for only the protons on the carbon bonded to the carbonyl group. Because excited phenolate ions are known to eject electrons, it is proposed that the radical RĊ(O−)NR2 is formed by reaction of the amide with the hydrated electron. The polarization observed for the amides can be explained by reaction of RĊ(O−)NR2 with a benzosemiquinone radical via a radical pair.

Abstract. Sensitivity being one of the main hurdles of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can be gained by polarization techniques including chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP). Kaptein demonstrated that the basic mechanism of the CIDNP arises from spin sorting based on coherent electron–electron nuclear spin dynamics during the formation and the recombination of a radical pair in a magnetic field. In photo-CIDNP of interest here the radical pair is between a dye and the molecule to be polarized. Here, we explore continuous-wave (CW) photo-CIDNP (denoted CW-photo-CIDNP) with a set of 10 tryptophan and tyrosine analogues, many of them newly identified to be photo-CIDNP active, and we observe not only signal enhancement of 2 orders of magnitude for 1H at 600 MHz (corresponding to 10 000 times in measurement time) but also reveal that polarization enhancement correlates with the hydrophobicity of the molecules. Furthermore, the small chemical library established indicates the existence of many photo-CIDNP-active molecules.
