It is shown how the same pool of magnetization can be tapped twice in two different concatenations of three experiments into a single pulse sequence with only one relaxation delay. This is accomplished by using the BANGO pulse sequence element twice for independent rotations of 1H magnetization attached or not attached to 13C and it includes a refinement of BANGO with an adiabatic 13C inversion pulse resulting in improved tolerance to a spread in 1JCH coupling constants that translates directly into improved sensitivity of the modular experiment relying on 1H magnetization attached to 13C. The two new pulse sequences are SEA XLOC-HMBC-H2OBC/2BOB and SEA XLOC(ZQ)-SEA XLOC(2Q)-H2OBC/2BOB which both represent a rapid route to complete heteronuclear one-bond and long-range JCH correlation maps for small molecules, as is demonstrated on ibuprofen and prednisolone.
