We have used solid-state 17O NMR experiments to determine the 17O quadrupole coupling (QC) tensor and chemical shift (CS) tensor for the carbonyl oxygen in p-nitro-[1-(17)O]benzaldehyde. Analyses of solid-state 17O NMR spectra obtained at 11.75 and 21.15 T under both magic-angle spinning (MAS) and stationary conditions yield the magnitude and relative orientation of these two tensors: CQ = 10.7...

Abstract. DFT quantum-chemical calculations were carried out for the cationic, zwitterionic and anionic form of the L-Alanyl-L-Alanine di-peptide that can be experimentally accessed at different pH. The N NMR chemical shielding tensor of the amide nitrogen was used for theoretical modeling of the cross-correlated relaxations. In particular, effective chemical shielding anisotropies (effective C...

The direct ~recomputation of two-electron integrals! implementation of the gauge-including atomic orbital ~GIAO! and the CSGT ~continuous set of gauge transformations! methods for calculating nuclear magnetic shielding tensors at both the Hartree-Fock and density functional levels of theory are presented. Isotropic C, N, and O magnetic shielding constants for several molecules, including taxol ...

The magnitude and orientation of the principal components of the carbonyl carbon chemical shift tensor of a typical aryl aldehyde, 3,4-diben~yloxybenzaldehyde-~~C,~H,, 1, have been determined from the analysis of I3C NMR spectra of static powder samples obtained at 4.7 and 9.4 T. The principal components of the carbon shielding tensor of formaldehyde, 2, have been calculated from the experiment...

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 ...

13C chemical shielding tensors in three oxalates were investigated in order to determine the effe~ts of protonation and conformation changes on the tensor elements and their orientations. The expenmental results. together with those in the accompanying paper [R. G. Griffin and D. J. Ruben, J. Chern. ~hys. 63, 1272 (1975)], indicate that, while neither of these factors seems to seriously effect ...

Xylometazoline is a drug which is used as a topical nasal decongestant. It is applied directly into the nose, either as a spray or as drops. Xylometazoline is an imidazole derivative which is designed to mimic the molecular shape of adrenaline. It binds to alpha-adrenergic receptors in the nasal mucosa. Due to its sympathomimetic effects, it should not be used by people with high blood pressure...

Complete nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical-shielding tensors, sigma, have been computed at different levels of density-functional theory (DFT), within the gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) formalism, for the atoms of the peptide model For-L-Ala-NH2 as a function of the backbone dihedral angles phi and psi by employing a dense grid of 10 degrees. A complete set of rigorously orthogon...

structural and magnetic properties of purine and pyrimidine nucleotides (cmp, ump, dtmp, amp, gmp, imp) were studied at different levels of ab initio molecular orbital theory. these calculations were performed at the hartree-fock level and density functional b3lyp methods. geometries were fully optimized by following cs symmetry restrictions. the standard 6-31g** basis set which includes polari...
