Abstract
The inherently low sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the major limiting factor for its application to elucidate structure and dynamics in solids. In the solid state, nuclear spin hyperpolarization methods based on microwave-induced dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) provide a versatile platform to enhance the bulk NMR signal of many different sample formulations, leading to significant sensitivity improvements. Here we show that 1H NMR hyperpolarization can also be generated in solids at high magnetic fields by optical irradiation of the sample. We achieved this by exploiting a donor-chromophore-acceptor molecule with an excited state electron-electron interaction similar to the nuclear Larmor frequency, enabling solid-state 1H photochemically induced DNP (photo-CIDNP) at high magnetic fields. Through hyperpolarization relay, we obtained bulk NMR signal enhancements εH by factors of ∼100 at both 9.4 and 21.1 T for the 1H signal of o-terphenyl in magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR experiments at 100 K. These findings open a pathway toward a general light-induced hyperpolarization approach for dye-sensitized high-field NMR in solids.

Abstract
Solid-state photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) is a nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique in which nuclear spin hyperpolarization is generated upon optical irradiation of an appropriate donor-acceptor system. Until now, solid-state photo-CIDNP at high magnetic fields has been observed only in photosynthetic reaction centers and flavoproteins. In the present work, we show that the effect is not limited to such biomolecular samples, and solid-state 13C photo-CIDNP can be observed at 9.4 T under magic angle spinning using a frozen solution of a synthetic molecular system dissolved in an organic solvent. Signal enhancements for the source molecule larger than a factor of 2300 are obtained. In addition, we show that bulk 13C hyperpolarization of the solvent can be generated via spontaneous 13C-13C spin diffusion at natural abundance.

Abstract
Low sensitivity is the primary limitation to extending nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques to more advanced chemical and structural studies. Photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) is an NMR hyperpolarization technique where light is used to excite a suitable donor-acceptor system, creating a spin-correlated radical pair whose evolution drives nuclear hyperpolarization. Systems that exhibit photo-CIDNP in solids are not common, and this effect has, up to now, only been observed for 13C and 15N nuclei. However, the low gyromagnetic ratio and natural abundance of these nuclei trap the local hyperpolarization in the vicinity of the chromophore and limit the utility for bulk hyperpolarization. Here, we report the first example of optically enhanced solid-state 1H NMR spectroscopy in the high-field regime. This is achieved via photo-CIDNP of a donor-chromophore-acceptor molecule in a frozen solution at 0.3 T and 85 K, where spontaneous spin diffusion among the abundant strongly coupled 1H nuclei relays polarization through the whole sample, yielding a 16-fold bulk 1H signal enhancement under continuous laser irradiation at 450 nm. These findings enable a new strategy for hyperpolarized NMR beyond the current limits of conventional microwave-driven DNP.

Abstract
We propose a new, more efficient, and potentially cost effective, solid-state nuclear spin hyperpolarization method combining the cross-effect mechanism and electron spin optical hyperpolarization in rotating solids. We first demonstrate optical hyperpolarization in the solid state at low temperatures and low field and then investigate its field dependence to obtain the optimal condition for high-field electron spin hyperpolarization. The results are then incorporated into advanced magic-angle spinning dynamic nuclear polarization (MAS-DNP) numerical simulations that show that optically pumped MAS-DNP could yield breakthrough enhancements at very high magnetic fields. Based on these investigations, enhancements greater than the ratio of electron to nucleus magnetic moments (>658 for 1H) are possible without microwave irradiation. This could solve at once the MAS-DNP performance decrease with increasing field and the high cost of MAS-DNP instruments at very high fields.

Abstract
The solid-state photo-chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) effect generates non-Boltzmann nuclear spin magnetization, referred to as hyperpolarization, allowing for high gain of sensitivity in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Well known to occur in photosynthetic reaction centers, the effect was also observed in a light-oxygen-voltage (LOV) domain of the blue-light receptor phototropin, in which the functional cysteine was removed to prevent photo-chemical reactions with the cofactor, a flavin mononucleotide (FMN). Upon illumination, the FMN abstracts an electron from a tryptophan to form a transient spin-correlated radical pair (SCRP) generating the photo-CIDNP effect. Here, we report on designed molecular spin-machines producing nuclear hyperpolarization upon illumination: a LOV domain of aureochrome1a from Phaeodactylum tricornutum, and a LOV domain named 4511 from Methylobacterium radiotolerans (Mr4511) which lacks an otherwise conserved tryptophan in its wild-type form. Insertion of the tryptophan at canonical and novel positions in Mr4511 yields photo-CIDNP effects observed by 15N and 1H liquid-state high-resolution NMR with a characteristic magnetic-field dependence indicating an involvement of anisotropic magnetic interactions and a slow-motion regime in the transient paramagnetic state. The heuristic biomimetic design opens new categories of experiments to analyze and apply the photo-CIDNP effect.

Abstract
The solid-state photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) effect has been studied in a quinone-depleted uniformly (u-)13C,15N-labeled photosynthetic reaction center (RC) protein from purple bacterium Rhodobacter (R.) sphaeroides wild type (WT). As a method for investigation, solid-state 15N NMR under magic-angle spinning (MAS) is applied under both continuous illumination (steady state) and nanosecond-laser flashes (time-resolved). While all previous 15N photo-CIDNP MAS NMR studies on the purple bacterial RC used the carotenoid-less mutant R26, this is the first using WT samples. The absence of further photo-CIDNP mechanisms (compared to R26) and various couplings (compared to 13C NMR experiments on 13C-labeled samples) allows the simplification of the spin-system. We report 15N signals of the three cofactors forming the spin-correlated radical pair (SCRP) and, based on density-functional theory calculations, their assignment. The simulation of photo-CIDNP intensities and time-resolved 15N photo-CIDNP MAS NMR data matches well to the frame of the mechanistic interpretation. Three spin-chemical processes, namely, radical pair mechanism, three spin mixing, and differential decay, generate emissive (negative) 15N polarization in the singlet decay channel and absorptive (positive) polarization in the triplet decay channel of the SCRP. The absorptive 15N polarization of the triplet decay channel is transiently obscured during the lifetime of the triplet state of the carotenoid (3Car); therefore, the observed 15N signals are strongly emissive. Upon decay of 3Car, the transiently obscured polarization becomes visible by reducing the excess of emissive polarization. After the decline of 3Car, the remaining nuclear hyperpolarization decays with nuclear T1 relaxation kinetics.

Abstract
Although the cofactors in the bacterial reaction centre of Rhodobacter sphaeroides wild type (WT) are arranged almost symmetrically in two branches, the light-induced electron transfer occurs selectively in one branch. As origin of this functional symmetry break, a hydrogen bond between the acetyl group of PL in the primary donor and His-L168 has been discussed. In this study, we investigate the existence and rigidity of this hydrogen bond with solid-state photo-CIDNP MAS NMR methods offering information on the local electronic structure due to highly sensitive and selective NMR experiments. On the time scale of the experiment, the hydrogen bond between PL and His-L168 appears to be stable and not to be affected by illumination confirming a structural asymmetry within the Special Pair.

Abstract
Diatoms contribute about 20-25% to the global marine productivity and are successful autotrophic players in all aquatic ecosystems, which raises the question whether this performance is caused by differences in their photosynthetic apparatus. Photo-CIDNP MAS NMR presents a unique tool to obtain insights into the reaction centres of photosystems (PS), by selective enhancement of NMR signals from both, the electron donor and the primary electron acceptor molecules. Here, we present the first observation of the solid-state photo-CIDNP effect in the pennate diatoms. In comparison to plant PSs, similar spectral patterns have been observed for PS I at 9.4 T and PS II at 4.7 T in the PSs of Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Studies at different magnetic fields reveal a surprising sign change of the 13C photo-CIDNP MAS NMR signals indicating an alternative arrangement of cofactors which allows to quench the Chl a donor triplet state in contrast to the situation in plant PS II. This unusual quenching mechanism is related to a carotenoid molecule in close vicinity to the Chl a donor. In addition to the photo-CIDNP MAS NMR signals arising from the donor and the primary electron acceptor cofactors, a complete set of signals of the imidazole ring ligating to the magnesium of Chl a can be observed.

Abstract
Photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) has been observed in the homodimeric, type-1 photochemical reaction centers (RCs) of the acidobacterium, Chloracidobacterium (Cab.) thermophilum, by 15N magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR under continuous white-light illumination. Three light-induced emissive (negative) signals are detected. In the RCs of Cab. thermophilum, three types of (bacterio)chlorophylls have previously been identified: bacteriochlorophyll a (BChl a), chlorophyll a (Chl a), and Zn-bacteriochlorophyll a' (Zn-BChl a') (Tsukatani et al. in J Biol Chem 287:5720-5732, 2012). Based upon experimental and quantum chemical 15N NMR data, we assign the observed signals to a Chl a cofactor. We exclude Zn-BChl because of its measured spectroscopic properties. We conclude that Chl a is the primary electron acceptor, which implies that the primary donor is most likely Zn-BChl a'. Chl a and 81-OH Chl a have been shown to be the primary electron acceptors in green sulfur bacteria and heliobacteria, respectively, and thus a Chl a molecule serves this role in all known homodimeric type-1 RCs.

Abstract
Several parameters in NMR depend on the magnetic field strength. Field-cycling NMR is an elegant way to explore the field dependence of these properties. The technique is well developed for solution state and in relaxometry. Here, a shuttle system with magic-angle spinning (MAS) detection is presented to allow for field-dependent studies on solids. The function of this system is demonstrated by exploring the magnetic field dependence of the solid-state photochemically induced nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) effect. The effect allows for strong nuclear spin-hyperpolarization in light-induced spin-correlated radical pairs (SCRPs) under solid-state conditions. To this end, 13C MAS NMR is applied to a photosynthetic reaction center (RC) of the purple bacterium Rhodobacter (R.) sphaeroides wildtype (WT). For induction of the effect in the stray field of the magnet and its subsequent observation at 9.4 T under MAS NMR conditions, the sample is shuttled by the use of an aerodynamically driven sample transfer technique. In the RC, we observe the effect down to 0.25 T allowing to determine the window for the occurrence of the effect to be between about 0.2 and 20 T.

Abstract
Spin chemistry and spintronics developed independently and with different terminology. Until now, the interaction between the two fields has been very limited. In this review, we compile the two "languages" in an effort to enhance communication. We expect that knowledge of spin chemistry will accelerate progress in spintronics.

Abstract
Abstract
Photo-CIDNP MAS NMR presents a unique tool to obtain insight into the photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) of bacteria and plants. Using the dramatic enhancement of sensitivity and selectivity of the solid-state photo-CIDNP effect, structural as well as functional information can be obtained from the cofactor molecules forming a light-induced spin-correlated radical pair (SCRP) in a given reaction center. Here we demonstrate that the effect can be observed in a further species, which belongs neither to the plant nor the bacteria kingdom. Cyclotella (C.) meneghiniana is a member of the diatom phylum and, therefore, belongs to the kingdom of chromista. Chromista are some of the most productive organisms in nature, even in comparison to trees and terrestrial grasses. The observation of the effect in chromista indicates that the effect occurs in all photosynthetic organisms and completes the list with the last phototrophic kingdoms. Our data also demonstrate that the photo- and spin-chemical machineries of photosystem I of plants and chromista are very similar with respect to structure as well as function.

Abstract
A sample of solubilized and quinone-depleted reaction centers from the purple bacterium Rhodobacter (R.) sphaeroides wild type has been prepared entirely (13)C and (15)N isotope labeled at all positions of the protein as well as of the cofactors. In this sample, the occurrence of the solid-state photo-CIDNP (photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization) effect has been probed by (13)C solid-state magic-angle spinning NMR under illumination. Under continuous illumination, signal intensities are modified by the three-spin mixing (TSM) mechanism. Time-resolved illumination experiments reveal the occurrence of light-induced nuclear polarization on the time scale of hundreds of microseconds, initially dominated by the transient polarization of the singlet branch of the radical-pair mechanism. A first kinetic analysis shows that the lifetime of the polarization from the singlet branch, indicated by the enhanced absorptive intensities of the signals from aliphatic carbons, is significantly extended. Upon arrival of the polarization from the triplet decay branch, emissive polarization caused by the TSM mechanism is observed. Also, this arrival is significantly delayed. The decay of TSM polarization occurs in two steps, assigned to intra- and intermolecular spin diffusion.

Abstract
The solid-state photo-CIDNP (photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization) effect is studied in photosynthetic reaction centers of Heliobacillus mobilis at different magnetic fields by (13)C MAS (magic-angle spinning) NMR spectroscopy. Two active states of heliobacterial reaction centers are probed: an anaerobic preparation of heliochromatophores ("Braunstoff", German for "brown substance") as well as a preparation of cells after exposure to oxygen ("Grünstoff", "green substance"). Braunstoff shows significant increase of enhanced absorptive (positive) signals toward lower magnetic fields, which is interpreted in terms of an enhanced differential relaxation (DR) mechanism. In Grünstoff, the signals remain emissive (negative) at two fields, confirming that the influence of the DR mechanism is comparably low.

Abstract
In this review on advanced EPR spectroscopy, which addresses both the EPR and NMR communities, considerable emphasis is put on delineating the complementarity of NMR and EPR concerning the measurement of molecular interactions in large biomolecules. From these interactions, detailed information can be revealed on structure and dynamics of macromolecules embedded in solution- or solid-state environments. New developments in pulsed microwave and sweepable cryomagnet technology as well as ultrafast electronics for signal data handling and processing have pushed to new horizons the limits of EPR spectroscopy and its multifrequency extensions concerning the sensitivity of detection, the selectivity with respect to interactions, and the resolution in frequency and time domains. One of the most important advances has been the extension of EPR to high magnetic fields and microwave frequencies, very much in analogy to what happens in NMR. This is exemplified by referring to ongoing efforts for signal enhancement in both NMR and EPR double-resonance techniques by exploiting dynamic nuclear or electron spin polarization via unpaired electron spins and their electron-nuclear or electron-electron interactions. Signal and resolution enhancements are particularly spectacular for double-resonance techniques such as ENDOR and PELDOR at high magnetic fields. They provide greatly improved orientational selection for disordered samples that approaches single-crystal resolution at canonical g-tensor orientations - even for molecules with small g-anisotropies. Exchange of experience between the EPR and NMR communities allows for handling polarization and resolution improvement strategies in an optimal manner. Consequently, a dramatic improvement of EPR detection sensitivity could be achieved, even for short-lived paramagnetic reaction intermediates. Unique structural and dynamic information is thus revealed that can hardly be obtained by any other analytical techniques. Micromolar quantities of sample molecules have become sufficient to characterize stable and transient reaction intermediates of complex molecular systems - offering highly interesting applications for chemists, biochemists and molecular biologists. In three case studies, representative examples of advanced EPR spectroscopy are reviewed: (I) High-field PELDOR and ENDOR structure determination of cation-anion radical pairs in reaction centers from photosynthetic purple bacteria and cyanobacteria (Photosystem I); (II) High-field ENDOR and ELDOR-detected NMR spectroscopy on the oxygen-evolving complex of Photosystem II; and (III) High-field electron dipolar spectroscopy on nitroxide spin-labelled bacteriorhodopsin for structure-function studies. An extended conclusion with an outlook to further developments and applications is also presented.

Abstract
The electronic structure of bacteriopheophytin a (BPhe a), the primary electron acceptor (ΦA) in photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs) of the purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides, is investigated by photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy at atomic resolution. By using various isotope labeling systems, introduced by adding different (13)C selectively labeled δ-aminolevulinic acid precursors in the growing medium of R. sphaeroides wild type (WT), we were able to extract light-induced (13)C NMR signals originating from the primary electron acceptor. The assignments are backed by theoretical calculations. By comparison of these chemical shifts to those obtained from monomeric BPhe a in solution, it is demonstrated that ΦA in the active branch appears to be electronically close to free bacteriopheophytin. Hence, there is little effect of the protein surrounding on the cofactor functionally which contributes with its standard redox potential to the electron transfer process that is asymmetric.

Abstract
A review focusing on the application of NMR spectroscopy to the study of organometallic photochemistry where the photochemical step is performed in situ, i.e. the irradiation of the sample takes place within the probe of the NMR spectrometer. Various experimental designs, taken from all areas of chemical and biological study, that facilitate in situ irradiation are discussed, paying attention to light sources and light delivery methods. The literature covering the application of the in situ method across the field of organometallic chemistry is then reviewed. There is particular emphasis on studies of reactive organometallic compounds with weakly coordinating ligands such as alkane, xenon and other “solvent” species, as complexes with short lifetimes benefit most from application of the in situ illumination method.

Abstract
Composed of the two bacteriochlorophyll cofactors, P(L) and P(M), the special pair functions as the primary electron donor in bacterial reaction centers of purple bacteria of Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Under light absorption, an electron is transferred to a bacteriopheophytin and a radical pair is produced. The occurrence of the radical pair is linked to the production of enhanced nuclear polarization called photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP). This effect can be used to study the electronic structure of the special pair at atomic resolution by detection of the strongly enhanced nuclear polarization with laser-flash photo-CIDNP magic-angle spinning NMR on the carotenoid-less mutant R26. In the electronic ground state, P(L) is strongly disturbed, carrying a slightly negative charge. In the radical cation state, the ratio of total electron spin densities between P(L) and P(M) is 2:1, although it is 2.5:1 for the pyrrole carbons, 2.2:1 for all porphyrinic carbons, and 4:1 for the pyrrole nitrogen. It is shown that the symmetry break between the electronic structures in the electronic ground state and in the radical cation state is an intrinsic property of the special pair supermolecule, which is particularly attributable to a modification of the structure of P(L). The significant difference in electron density distribution between the ground and radical cation states is explained by an electric polarization effect of the nearby histidine.

Abstract
In the last two decades, Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) NMR has created its own niche in studies involving photosynthetic membrane protein complexes, owing to its ability to provide structural and functional information at atomic resolution of membrane proteins when in the membrane, in the natural environment. The light-harvesting two (LH2) transmembrane complex from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila is used to illustrate the procedure of the technique applicable in photosynthesis research. One- and two-dimensional solid-state NMR experiments involving (13)C- and (15)N-labeled LH2 complexes allow to make a sequence-specific assignment of NMR signals, which forms the basis for resolving structural details and the assessment of charge transfer, electronic delocalization effects, and functional strain in the ground state.

Abstract
During the photocycle of quinone-blocked photosynthetic reaction centers (RCs), photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) is produced by polarization transfer from the initially totally electron polarized electron pair and can be observed by 13C magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR as a strong modification of signal intensities. The same processes creating net nuclear polarization open up light-dependent channels for polarization loss. This leads to coherent and incoherent enhanced signal recovery, in addition to the recovery due to light-independent longitudinal relaxation. Coherent mixing between electron and nuclear spin states due to pseudosecular hyperfine coupling within the radical pair state provides such a coherent loss channel for nuclear polarization. Another polarization transfer mechanism called differential relaxation, which is based on the long lifetime of the triplet state of the donor, provides an efficient incoherent relaxation path. In RCs of the purple bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides R26, the photochemical active channels allow for accelerated signal scanning by a factor of 5. Hence, photo-CIDNP MAS NMR provides the possibility to drive the NMR technique beyond the T1 limit.
