Short summary
We report data on nuclear polarization formed in photoreaction of intramolecular electron transfer from adenine to flavin that was revealed several years ago by R. Kaptein by CIDNP. The question of whether one or two types of biradicals are formed stays unresolved. This work clarified the problem and confirmed that single common emissive maximum in magnetic field dependence of CIDNP may originate from single level crossing of short-lived biradical and that the FAD molecule has a compact shape.

Short summary
Investigating NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) phenomena at variable magnetic fields is useful and insightful for hyperpolarization and molecular dynamics in particular. To benefit from high-resolution at high magnetic fields, field-dependent investigations can be performed using a high-field NMR spectrometer, with a sample shuttle apparatus for field cycling. Here, we introduce a new design of a sample shuttle which is fast, reliable, and narrow. We show a series of applications involving small molecules and a protein in solution.

Short summary
This work discusses nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments, which make use of coherent spin evolution at level anti-crossings. In this work, we provide a common description of such phenomena (hopefully, a reasonably simple one), which is illustrated by a number of examples from various subfields of NMR.

Short summary
We studied spin dynamics in nuclear spin systems at low magnetic fields, where strong coupling among nuclear spins of the same kind, here 13C, is expected. Such conditions are known to be favorable for coherent polarization transfer. However, to our surprise, interactions with other nuclei, i.e., protons, lead to a breakdown of the strong coupling conditions. By using a two-field nuclear magnetic resonance approach, we can manipulate low field-spin dynamics and reintroduce strong coupling.
We studied spin dynamics in nuclear spin systems at low magnetic fields, where strong coupling...
