This is the first report of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) of doubly-labeled 15N2O. Sample polarization during DNP at 1.5 K and 5 T was monitored in-situ by solid-state NMR as a function of microwave frequency in the range 140.04 - 140.16 GHz. The fastest initial polarization rate occurred at 140.063 and 140.130 GHz microwave frequencies, corresponding to positive and negative polarizations of the nuclear spin system. Polarization levels of (114)% were achieved in the frozen sample.
