Cross polarization/magic angle sample spinning (CP/MAS)/sup 13/C NMR spectra were obtained at various contact times on five solid organic compounds containing carbon atoms far from intramolecular protons or containing very few hydrogen atoms. Carbon atoms four or more bonds fromthe nearest intramolecular proton cannot be fully polarized before T/sub 1p/(H) effects begin to dominate the proton magnetization. Rapid molecular motion aggrevates the problem because of motional attenuation of the dipolar interaction. Computer-fitted T/sub CH/ and T/sub 1p/(H) parameters are consistent with these experimental results. The simple theories of cross polarization account for incomplete polarization in these cases. In 1,2:4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride, C/sub 10/H/sub 2/O/sub 6/, the relative aromatic and carbonyl signal intensities are only 5% from the ideal values on the basis of atomic ratios, but absolute intensities can be seriously reduced. In general, CP/MAS NMR provides a convenient and useful quantitative method for studying diamagnetic, organic solids of low molecular weight that is competitive to other physical methods even for molecules of low or remote protonation.
