CHEMICALLY INDUCED DYNAMIC NUCLEAR SPIN POLARIZATION AND ITS APPLICATIONS... 

The first reports of the observation of transient emission and enhanced absorption signals in the H-n.m.r. spectra of solutions in which radical reactions were taking place appeared in 1967. The importance of the phenomenon, named Chemically Induced Dynamic Nuclear Spin Polarization (CIDNP), in radical chemistry was quickly recognized. Since that time, an explosive growth in the number of publications on the subject has occurred and CIDNP has been detected in H, C, N, and P as well as H-n.m.r. spectra. Nevertheless, the number of groups engaged in research in this area is comparatively small. This may be a consequence of the apparent complexity of the subject. It is the purpose of this review to describe in a quahtative way the origin of CIDNP and to survey the published applications of the phenomenon in...

Finally, it should be pointed out that methods used to study short-lived chemical intermediates in fast thermal reactions may be applicable also to photochemical studies. Radical intermediates, however generated, can be studied by CIDNP (chemically induced dynamic nuclear spin polarization), in which the n.m.r. spectrum of the reaction mixture is recorded during the reaction period. If a substrate is continuously irradiated with ultraviolet/visible light in the cavity of an n.m.r. spectrometer, the resulting n.m.r. spectrum ot the substrale/product mixture exhibits intensity variations as compared with the normal spectrum—intensity enhancement, reduction or even reversal (i.e. emission). Note that the spectrum involved is not...
