A new 13 C polarization technique in solids is presented on the basis of a recently proposed 13 C-13 C recoupling sequence ͓ 13 C-1 H dipolar-assisted rotational resonance ͑DARR͒, K. Takegoshi, S. Nakamura, and T. Terao, Chem. Phys. Lett. 344, 631 ͑2001͔͒ operative under fast magic angle spinning ͑MAS͒, in which a rf field is applied to 1 H with a rotary resonance condition but none to 13 C. The 1 H irradiation in DARR saturates 1 H signals, leading to the 13 C signal enhancement due to the nuclear Overhauser effect for fast rotating methyl groups, if any. If we use a uniformly 13 C labeled sample, 13 C-13 C polarization transfer enhanced by DARR successively distributes the enhanced methyl carbon polarization to the other 13 C spins, leading to uniform enhancement for all 13 C spins even under very fast MAS. In uniformly 13 C labeled rotating samples, the enhancement factor in cross polarization ͑CP͒ is about 2.4, while in the present nuclear Overhauser polarization ͑NOP͒, it is 3.0 in the fast rotation limit of the methyl groups. While the CP enhancement becomes smaller for molecules with short T 1 of 1 H or 13 C, NOP would work well for such mobile molecules, and also NOP enables us to acquire a signal with a short repetition time even if 1 H T 1 is long. Further, NOP has the advantage of quantitativeness, and is very easy to carry out, being insensitive to the adjustment of rf field intensity and requiring only very low rf power. These features are demonstrated for uniformly 13 C, 15 N-labeled L-threonine and uniformly 13 C, 15 N-labeled glycylisoleucine. NOP-MAS is also applied for a naturally abundant 13 C sample.
