We present a novel solid-state NMR method for heteronuclear dipolar recoupling without decoupling. The method, which introduces the concept of exponentially modulated rf fields, provides efficient broadband recoupling with large flexibility with respect to hetero- or homonuclear applications, sample spinning frequency, and operation without the need for high-power (1)H decoupling. For previous methods, the latter has been a severe source of sample heating which may cause detoriation of costly samples. The so-called EXPonentially mOdulated Recoupling Technique (EXPORT) is described analytically and numerically, and demonstrated experimentally by 1D (13)C spectra and 2D (13)C-(15)N correlation spectra of (13)C,(15)N-labeled samples of GB1, ubiquitin, and fibrils of the SNNFGAILSS fragment of amylin. Through its flexible operation, robustness, and strong performance, it is anticipated that EXPORT will find immediate application for both hetero- and homonuclear dipolar recoupling in solid-state NMR of (13)C,(15)N-labeled proteins and compounds of relevance in chemistry.
