A method for NMR investigations of surface nuclei using cross polarization from optically polarized xenon (OPCP) is described. We find this methodology results in enhancement factors of approximately 10(3) upon application to surface protons. The dynamics of Xe-129 transfer to protons is examined in some detail, including the time, temperature, and multiple contact dependences of signal intensities. Furthermore, we discuss the sensitivity of the transfer process to spatial diffusion. Finally, we report on application of the OPCP experiment to a low total surface area sample.

A new technique for monitoring the formation of xenon clathrate hydrates is presented. Under controlled-temperature conditions, clathrate formation is studied with optically enhanced Xe-129 NMR spectroscopy, which allows the observation of the xenon occupation of both small and large clathrate cages. The experiments were performed in a temperature range of 170 to 258 K. Only in the range of 195 to 233 K did clathrate formation occur, with applied pressures of typically 0.3 MPa. The NMR data are analyzed with a simple kinetic model, which provides a rate coefficient for clathrate formation and a time constant which describes the decay of the NMR signal intensity. The analysis of the rate coefficients and occupancy ratios of the large to the small cages under the different experimental conditions enabled us to obtain some novel information on the hydrate phase formed on ice surfaces. The results suggest that the surface phase formed initially has many more occupied small cages than the bulk phase at equilibrium and that the composition evolves toward that of the bulk phase in a few minutes. At higher temperatures (258 K) the surface phase seems to be less stable than the bulk phase.

NMR studies of xenon gas dissolved in the liquid crystal ZLI 1132 confined to submicron cylindrical cavities are reported. Spectra taken as a function of temperature yield a clear indication of the nematic to isotropic phase transition of the confined liquid crystals. In the nematic phase at 21 degrees C, the resonance line of dissolved Xe-129 exhibits a chemical shift anisotropy of 15 ppm due to a random distribution of director axes in the plane perpendicular to the long axis of the cylinder. The anisotropy and temperature dependence of the confined system are compared to control experiments that use the bulk liquid crystal. The quadrupolar splitting observed in the Xe-131 NMR spectrum of the confined liquid crystalline solution of xenon gas is slightly greater than that found in the bulk. Two-dimensional exchange NMR demonstrates that the xenon atoms probe different average liquid crystal directors within a single cavity on a 20 ms time scale and that interpore exchange occurs on a time scale of 400 ms. The exchange data indicate that changes in the orientation of the director within individual cavities occur on a length scale of about 2 mu m.

TiO2 (anatase), V2O5, and V2O5/TiO2 (anatase) catalysts with 1.3\%, 3.0\%, and 9.8\% weight loadings of V2O5 have been studied using temperature-dependent xenon-129 NMR spectroscopy. The intrinsic chemical shift values due to the interaction of xenon with the surface are 109 +/- 3 ppm for TiO2 (anatase) and 93 +/- 5 ppm for V2O5. The V2O5/TiO2 catalysts provide strong adsorption sites for xenon which cause an initial decrease of the chemical shift values at low xenon loadings. Additionally, the spectra of pure V2O5 reveal two distinct environments for the xenon atoms, consistent with the hysteresis of the isotherm and the existence of pores. Two-dimensional exchange spectroscopy was used to measure the rates and activation energy of xenon moving between these two environments.

The first observation of nuclear spin polarization enhancement in a molecular species by coupling to laser-polarized xenon is reported. The spins of (CO2)-C-13 were cooled by inclusion into the xenon solid followed by thermal mixing in magnetic fields comparable to the heteronuclear dipolar interactions. High-field NMR detection yielded enhancement factors of up to 200. Moreover, a change in the sense of the helicity of the optical pumping light results in a sign reversal of the spin temperature and hence an inversion of the C-13 NMR signal.
