We show how 27 Al-13 C proximities in the microporous metal-organic framework MIL-100(Al) can be probed using advanced 27 Al-13 C NMR methods boosted by Dynamic Nuclear Polarization.Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted increasing attention owing to their high surface area and their wide range of three-dimensional (3D) architectures that exhibit different pore apertures and chemical tunabilities. These hybrid materials represent promising systems for gas storage, catalysis, capture of radioactive compounds, and drug delivery. 1 Amongst them, aluminium-based MOFs, such as MIL-100(Al), 2 present many advantages, including low cost, density and toxicity, remarkable thermal stability and high Lewis acidity that should allow many industrial applications. 3 Rational design of MOFs requires a clear understanding of structure-property relationships and hence calls for characterization methods endowed with atomic resolution. In particular, solid-state NMR is well suited to assess structural models of MOF frameworks, to probe the organization of extra-framework entities, 4 and to analyze atomic-level dynamics. 5,6 However, the poor sensitivity of NMR limits the observation of adsorbed species, defects, etc., particularly when the observed nuclei have low gyromagnetic ratios, low natural abundances or long longitudinal relaxation times (T 1 ). Besides, the observation of 27 Al-13 C proximities by NMR in Al-based MOFs has hitherto been hindered by limitations of common NMR probes, which cannot be tuned simultaneously to nearby 27 Al and 13 C Larmor frequencies. We report here the first observation of 27 Al-13 C proximities in MOFs using advanced NMR methods combined with a frequency splitter. 7,8 We show that Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) can significantly reduce acquisition times for MIL-100(Al) at 100 K. EPR spectroscopy and DNP enhancements prove that the biradical TOTAPOL 9 enters the MIL-100(Al) cavities within tens of minutes, although its apertures are smaller than 0.88 nm. Besides, DNP-enhanced 27 Al-13 C correlation experiments prove that the MIL-100(Al) framework is not altered by impregnation with a TOTAPOL solution. So far, DNP of MOFs has only been demonstrated for 1D spectra under Magic-Angle Spinning (MAS) using 1
