We propose pulse sequences for Reaction Yield Detected Magnetic Resonance (RYDMR), which are based on refocusing the zero-quantum coherences in radical pairs by non-selective microwave pulses and using the population of a radical pair singlet spin state as an observable. The new experiments are analogues of existing EPR experiments such as the primary echo, Carr-Purcell, ESEEM, stimulated echo and Mims ENDOR. All pulse sequences are supported by analytical results and numerical calculations. The pulse sequences can be used for more efficient and highly detailed characterization of intermediates of chemical reactions and charge carriers in organic semiconductors.
