We report the generation and observation of long-lived spin states in deuterated methyl groups by dissolution DNP. These states are based on population imbalances between manifolds of spin states corresponding to irreducible representations of the C3v point group and feature strongly dampened quadrupolar relaxation. Their lifetime depends on the activation energies of methyl group rotation. With dissolution DNP, we can reduce the deuterium relaxation rate by a factor up to 20, thereby extending the experimentally available time window. The intrinsic limitation of NMR spectroscopy of quadrupolar spins by short relaxation times can thus be alleviated.

Long-lived spin state of a tripeptide in stretched hydrogel
Long-lived spin state of a tripeptide in stretched hydrogel
Abstract
The longitudinal (T 1), transverse (T 2), and singlet state (T s) relaxation times of the geminal backbone protons (CH2) of l-Leu-Gly-Gly were studied by NMR spectroscopy at 9.4 T in a bovine hide gelatin gel composed in D2O at 25Â*°C. Gelatin granules were dissolved in a hot solution of the tripeptide and then the solution was allowed to gel inside a flexible silicone tubing. With increases in gelatin content, the T...
