Temperature dependence of the dynamic nuclear polarization enhancement A L of the protons in tetrathiafulvalinium‐tetracyanoquinodimethan salt (TTF‐TCNQ) and potassium‐TCNQ salt is reported. In TTF‐TCNQ, A L is temperature‐independent in the range 150 to 300 K; in K‐TCNQ, A L is strongly temperature‐dependent. These results, and the knowledge of the frequency dependence of the relaxation time T 1 of the protons allow to determine the cut‐off frequency v C of the ld diffusion mechanism with respect to the nuclear and electronic frequencies v I and v S . v C is larger than 10 GHz in TTF‐TCNQ and v C is of the order of v I in K‐TCNQ. Moreover, because of the large enhancement A L observed in K‐TCNQ, the T 1 anisotropy is determined on single crystals.
