description <p>Dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization is used to prepare nuclear spin polarizations approaching unity. At present, <span class="inline-formula"><sup>1</sup></span>H polarization quantification in the solid state remains fastidious due to the requirement of measuring thermal equilibrium signals. Line shape polarimetry of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectra is used to determine several useful properties regarding the spin system under investigation. In the case of highly polarized nuclear spins, such as those prepared under the conditions of dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization experiments, the absolute polarization of a particular isotopic species within the sample may be directly inferred from the characteristics of the corresponding resonance line shape. In situations where direct measurements of polarization are complicated by deleterious phenomena, indirect estimates of polarization using coupled heteronuclear spins prove informative. We present a simple analysis of the <span class="inline-formula"><sup>13</sup></span>C spectral line shape of [2-<span class="inline-formula"><sup>13</sup></span>C]sodium acetate based on the normalized deviation of the centre of gravity of the <span class="inline-formula"><sup>13</sup></span>C peaks, which can be used to indirectly evaluate the proton polarization of the methyl group moiety and very likely the entire sample in the case of rapid and homogeneous <span class="inline-formula"><sup>1</sup></span>H–<span class="inline-formula"><sup>1</sup></span>H spin diffusion.
