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... 

Observation of spin-polarized products resulting from these radical pairs by the method of chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP)<67) was accomplished by photolysis in the probe of an NMR spectrometer using perfluoromethylcyclohexane as solvent. The results obtained were consistent with nuclear spin polarization steps involving radical pairs formed from dissociated radicals and also directly from excited states, although the former could not be detected in carbon tetrachloride, probably due to radical scavenging by the solvent. It was not possible to determine the fraction of the reaction proceeding by singlet and triplet radical pairs.<68)... 

On the other hand, in accord with the free radical mechanism peroxynitrite is dissociated into free radicals, which are supposed to be genuine reactive species. Although free radical mechanism was proposed as early as in 1970 [111], for some time it was not considered to be a reliable one because a great confusion ensued during the next two decades because of misinterpretations of inconclusive experiments, sometimes stimulated by improper thermodynamic estimations [85]. The latest experimental data supported its reliability [107-109]. Among them, the formation of dityrosine in the reaction with tyrosine and 15N chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) in the NMR spectra of the products of peroxynitrite reactions are probably the most convincing evidences (see below). 

For more complex spin systems, a computer program PHIP+ has been developed [13, 45] which allows the expected PHIP spectra to be calculated from the chemical shifts and coupling constants of the products. Depending upon which proton pair in the product molecule stems from p-H2, different - but characteristic - polarization patterns result [14]. The patterns also depend on the sign of the coupling constants. Simple sign rules governing the relative sequence of the emission and absorption lines in the PHIP spectra (i.e., their phase ) can be formulated in similar manner to the Kaptein Rules of chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) [15]. 

Further evidence for the formation of alkene radical cations derives from the work of Giese, Rist, and coworkers who observed a chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) effect on the dihydrofuran 6 arising from fragmentation of radical 5 and electron transfer from the benzoyl radical within the solvent cage (Scheme 6) [67].

Among NMR methods providing insight into radical ions, chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) has proved especially useful it results in enhanced transient signals, in absorption or emission CIDNP effects were first reported in 1967 their application was soon extended to radical ions. The method lends itself to modest time resolution. 

These assignments are consistent with PES data ° and supported by theoretical calculations " in C2v symmetry, IS " " has two low-lying radical cationic states, and Ai. " The state is the ground state of IS " " the calculated hyperfine coupling constants (B3LYP/6-31G //MP2/6-31G ) are compatible with chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) and ESR/ENDOR results.

Chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) is a very powerful tool for establishing the existence of radical pair intermediates and their spin. CIDNP has reinforced the view that singlet carbene undergoes direct insertion into C—H bonds and that the triplet abstracts hydrogen. 

Chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) was first reported in 1967 in independent work from three different laboratories. The effects of free radicals on NMR spectra were revealed (Fig. 6) in studies of radicals from peroxides (equation 62) and azo compounds, as well as radicals generated from the reaction of alkyl halides and organolithium compounds. ...
