Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (d-DNP) denotes a method to enhance signals in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy by hyperpolarization of nuclear spins at cryogenic temperature in the solid state prior to a rapid dissolution, transfer of a sample to a conventional NMR spectrometer, and detection at ambient temperatures in the liquid state.

Paramagnetic metal ions have been utilized as polarizing agents already in the early days of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and have been more recently introduced for magic-angle spinning (MAS) DNP at high magnetic field.
June 1, 2020 - Instrumentation for DNP-NMR spectroscopy has many similar components to instrumentation for EPR spectroscopy.
