Calculation of Nuclear Magnetic Shielding Constants in Two Simple Systems

Nuclear magnetic shieldings in solution: Gauge invariant atomic orbital calculation using the polarizable continuum model

We present the gauge invariant atomic orbital ~GIAO! calculation of nuclear magnetic shieldings for solvated molecules described within the polarizable continuum model ~PCM!. The performance of the PCM-GIAO approach is tested in a benchmark calculation of isotropic C, N, and O shielding constants for CH3CN and CH3NO2 in vacuo and in water, both at the Hartree–Fock and density functional levels ...

Natural chemical shielding analysis of nuclear magnetic resonance shielding tensors from gauge-including atomic orbital calculations

Nuclear magnetic shielding tensors computed by the gauge including atomic orbital ~GIAO! method in the Hartree–Fock self-consistent-field ~HF-SCF! framework are partitioned into magnetic contributions from chemical bonds and lone pairs by means of natural chemical shielding ~NCS! analysis, an extension of natural bond orbital ~NBO! analysis. NCS analysis complements the description provided by ...

Nuclear shielding constants by density functional theory with gauge including atomic orbitals

Recently, we introduced a new density-functional theory ~DFT! approach for the calculation of NMR shielding constants. First, a hybrid DFT calculation ~using 5% exact exchange! is performed on the molecule to determine Kohn–Sham orbitals and their energies; second, the constants are determined as in nonhybrid DFT theory, that is, the paramagnetic contribution to the constants is calculated from...

Systematic investigation on the geometric dependence of the calculated nuclear magnetic shielding constants

We perform a systematic examination on the dependence of the calculated nuclear magnetic shielding constants on the chosen geometry for a selective set of density functional methods of B3LYP, PBE0, and OPBE. We find that the OPBE exchange-correlation functional performs remarkably well when either the optimized geometries or the experimental geometries are used. The popular B3LYP and PBE0 funct...
