Surface selective NMR spectroscopy for hybrid materials (C01)

• Subject Area: Solid State and Surface Chemistry, Material Synthesis ; Analytical Chemistry ; Experimental and Theoretical Physics of Polymers
• Term: from 2009 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 79971943

Within this project we use hyperpolarisation techniques to develop and apply a surface sensitive and selective NMR spectroscopy. For this, we mainly rely on 129Xe which is hyperpolarised by the application of Spin Exchange Optical Pumping. In addition, Dynamic Nuclear Polarization is employed. Our techniques will allow for a comprehensive characterization of both structural as well as dynamical properties at the surfaces of the hierarchically-built hybrid materials synthesized within the SFB. For the oncoming period the focus will be i.) on developing NMR probes for investigating thin film samples and ii.) on the application of hyperpolarized 129Xe via liquid phases.
