contents Spin engineering of advanced pulse sequences has had a transformative impact on the development of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, to an extending degree also electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and the hybrid between the two, dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). Based on a simple formalism, we demonstrate that (i) single-crystal static-sample optimisations may tremendously ease design of experiments for rotating powders and (ii) pulse sequences may readily be exchanged between these distinct spectroscopies. Specifically, we design broadband heteronuclear solid-state NMR magic-angle-spinning (MAS) dipolar recoupling experiments based on the recently developed PLATO (PoLarizAtion Transfer via non-linear Optimization) microwave (MW) pulse sequence optimized on a single crystal for powder static-sample DNP. Using this concept, we demonstrate design of ultra-broadband 13C-15N and 2H-13C cross-polarization experiments, using PLATO on the 13C radio-frequency (RF) channel and square/ramped or RESPIRATION (Rotor Echo Short Pulse IRrAdiaTION) RF irradiation on the 15N and 2H RF channels, respectively.
