13C-1H dipolar recoupling under very fast magic-angle spinning using virtual pulses.
A new solid-state NMR pulse sequence for recoupling 13C-1H dipolar interactions under magic-angle spinning is proposed, which works under a spinning speed of a few to several tens kilohertz. The sequence is composed of two different frequency switched Lee-Goldburg sequences, and the modulation of the spin part of the 13C-1H dipolar interaction is introduced by a virtual pulse sequence consisting of unitary operators connecting the rotating frame and the tilted rotating frame. When the cycle time of the spinning is equal to or twice the cycle time of the sequence, the 13C-1H dipolar interactions can be recoupled. The sequence is insensitive to experimental imperfections such as rf inhomogeneity or frequency offset, and the resulting lineshape can be represented by a simple analytical equation based on the zeroth-order average Hamiltonian. Experimental results for [2-(13)C] L-valine x HCl are reported.
