Abstract

High-frequency dynamic nuclear polarization nuclear magnetic resonance (DNP NMR) spectroscopy is having a major impact on the far-reaching abilities of solid-state NMR. This high-sensitivity technique made possible by transferring high polarization from an unpaired electron source to an NMR-active nucleus is rewriting the capabilities of NMR spectroscopy within the chemical sciences. In Part I, we briefly introduced some of the instrumentation, hardware, and essentials to apply DNP NMR in solids. Below, we highlight some of the advances in DNP method development, as well as the major breakthroughs within the NMR community made possible by DNP NMR.
