The magnetic response of C60 has been studied and compared to its spherical aromatic counterpart C60(10+), focusing on the overall and local shielding tensors. A high axis dependence behavior at the outside region of the structure is characterized, unravelling a characteristic pattern of the local chemical shift anisotropy as a consequence of the spherical aromatic behavior.

Capsid surface shielding of adenovirus vectors with synthetic polymers is an emerging technology to reduce unwanted interactions of the vector particles with cellular and non-cellular host components. While it has been shown that attachment of shielding polymers allows prevention of undesired interactions, it has become evident that a shield which is covalently attached to the vector surface ca...

The nuclear isotropic shielding constants sigma((17)O) and sigma((13)C) of the carbonyl bond of acetone in water at supercritical (P=340.2 atm and T=673 K) and normal water conditions have been studied theoretically using Monte Carlo simulation and quantum mechanics calculations based on the B3LYP6-311++G(2d,2p) method. Statistically uncorrelated configurations have been obtained from Monte Car...

Sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate found in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables. it is an antioxidantand anti-cancer agent, and reduces blood pressure, and also has anti-allergic Effects.In this article, six theoretical methods have been used for calculation of physical parameters insolforaphane and several similar compounds. We calculated physical parameters like atomic charges.energy (AE) ...

Chemical hardness () and absolute electronegativity () have important applications in chemistry. Inthe conceptual Density Functional theory (DFT), these concepts has been associated with electronicenergy and the relationship with ionization energy (I) and electron affinity (A) of these concepts hasbeen given. In this study, graphical method was used in order to see the relationship with the ato...

A spherical and cavernous carbocage molecule exhibiting faces with larger ring sizes than regular fullerenes is a suitable species for investigating how molecular magnetic properties depend on the structure of the molecular framework. The studied all-carbon gaudiene (C72) is a highly symmetrical molecule with three- and four-fold faces formed by twelve membered rings. Here, we attempt to unrave...

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...

A new method for relativistically corrected nuclear magnetic resonance ~NMR! chemical shifts is developed by combining the individual gauge for the localized orbital approach for density functional theory with the normalized elimination of a small component using an effective potential. The new method is used for the calculation of the NMR chemical shifts of Mo and W in various molybdenum and t...
