High-throughput NMR characterization of polymers with DNP NMR
Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) solid-state NMR was used to obtain natural abundance 13C and 15N CP MAS NMR spectra of microporous organic polymers with excellent signal to noise ratio, allowing for unprecedented details in the molecular structure to be determined for these complex polymer networks. Sensitivity enhancements larger than 10 were obtained with bis-nitroxide radical at 14.1 T and at low temperature (~105 K). This DNP MAS NMR approach allows efficient, high throughput characterization of libraries of porous polymers prepared by combinatorial chemistry methods.
