Modeling NMR chemical shifts: crystal potential derived point charge (CPPCh) model to calculate solid state effects on P chemical shifts tensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a new method to calculate solid-state effects on NMR chemical shifts. Using full crystal potentials, this new method (CPPCh) eliminates the need to arbitrarily select the point charges that are included in the calculations of the NMR chemical shieldings to take into account intermolecular effects. By eliminating the arbitrary selection of the point charges, the method provides a mechanism to systematically improve the simulation of intermolecular effects on chemical shielding calculations. This new method has been applied to the calculation of the P NMR chemical shifts tensors in P4S3. The shielding calculations were done using the DFT approach with the BLYP gradient corrected exchange correlation functional. This method was selected to calculate the P chemical shifts because it includes electron correlation effects at a reasonable cost.

For recent more complete reviews see [7, 8, 25] and for isotope effects primarily on intermolecular hydrogen bonding and in the solid state the papers by the Limbach group [3, 4, 33, 34]. The paper will concentrate on intrinsic isotope effects and not so much on equilibrium ones. The review will also concentrate on situations w...
متن کاملEnhanced NMR Discrimination of Pharmaceutically Relevant Molecular Crystal Forms through Fragment-Based Ab Initio Chemical Shift Predictions
Chemical shift prediction plays an important role in the determination or validation of crystal structures with solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. One of the fundamental theoretical challenges lies in discriminating variations in chemical shifts resulting from different crystallographic environments. Fragment-based electronic structure methods provide an alternative to t...
متن کاملModeling the NMR signatures associated with the functional conformational switch in the major light-harvesting antenna of photosystem II in higher plants.
The major photosystem II antenna complex, LHCII, possesses an intrinsic conformational switch linked to the formation of a photoprotective, excitation-quenching state. Recent solid state NMR experiments revealed that aggregation-induced quenching in (13)C-enriched LHCII from C. reinhardtii is associated with changes to the chemical shifts of three specific (13)C atoms in the Chla conjugated mac...

In this paper, the hydrogen bonding (HB) effects on the NMR chemical shifts of selected atoms in serineand serine-nH2O complexes (from one to ten water molecules) have been investigated with quantummechanical calculations of the 15N and 13C tensors. Interaction with water molecules causes importantchanges in geometry and electronic structure of serine.For the compound studied, the most importan...
متن کاملTime averaging of NMR chemical shifts in the MLF peptide in the solid state.
Since experimental measurements of NMR chemical shifts provide time and ensemble averaged values, we investigated how these effects should be included when chemical shifts are computed using density functional theory (DFT). We measured the chemical shifts of the N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine-OMe (MLF) peptide in the solid state, and then used the X-ray structure to calculate the...
