    Abstract:
    Heteronuclear dipolar recoupling with rotational-echo double-resonance (REDOR) is investigated in the rapid magic-angle spinning regime, where radiofrequency irradiation occupies a significant fraction of the rotor period (10-60%). We demonstrate, in two model (13)C-(15)N spin systems, [1-(13)C, (15)N] and [2-(13)C, (15)N]glycine, that REDOR DeltaS/S(0) curves acquired at high MAS rates and relatively low recoupling fields are nearly identical to the DeltaS/S(0) curve expected for REDOR with ideal delta-function pulses. The only noticeable effect of the finite pi pulse length on the recoupling is a minor scaling of the dipolar oscillation frequency. Experimental results are explained using both numerical calculations and average Hamiltonian theory, which is used to derive analytical expressions for evolution under REDOR recoupling sequences with different pi pulse phasing schemes. For xy-4 and extensions thereof, finite pulses scale only the dipolar oscillation frequency by a well-defined factor. For other phasing schemes (e.g., xx-4 and xx-4) both the frequency and amplitude of the oscillation are expected to change.
