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...

A density functional method has been used to successfully predict the isotropic 59Co nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts of the following anionic, cationic and neutral Co(III) complexes: [Co(CN)6], [Co(NH3)6], [Co(NO2)6], [Co(NH3)4CO3], Co(acac)3, and [Co(en)3]. Isotropic chemical shifts are wellreproduced by using Wachters’ cobalt basis set and uniform 6-31G* basis sets on the lig...

IUPAC has published a number of recommendations regarding the reporting of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data, especially chemical shifts. The most recent publication [Pure Appl. Chem. 73, 1795 (2001)] recommended that tetramethylsilane (TMS) serve as a universal reference for reporting the shifts of all nuclides, but it deferred recommendations for several aspects of this subject. This docu...

Calculations for 125Te magnetic shielding constants and chemical shifts were carried out using a quasirelativistic Hamiltonian including the spin-free relativistic, oneand two-electron spin–orbit, and relativistic magnetic interaction terms. For the tellurium-containing series Te(CH3)2, TeH2, TeF6, Te(CH3)4, and Te(CH3)2Cl2, the relativistic effects amounted to as much as 1300 ppm and were very...

We have used ab initio quantum chemical techniques to compute the (13)C(alpha) and (13)C(beta) shielding surfaces for the 14 amino acids not previously investigated (R. H. Havlin et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1997, 119, 11951-11958) in their most popular conformations. The spans (Omega = sigma(33) - sigma(11)) of all the tensors reported here are large ( approximately 34 ppm) and there are only ver...

The development of UV-shielding materials has attracted considerable attention in the field of coatings and sunscreen. This paper reports the UV-shielding mechanism of layered double hydroxide (LDH) materials in terms of chemical composition, structure and morphology, by using (LDH/PAA)n films (n stands for bilayer number) through alternate LBL assembly of LDH nanoparticles and poly(acrylic aci...

In this research, geometrical structures of armchair single walled boron nitride nanotube (SWBNNT) and armchair single walled aluminum nitride nanotube (SWAlNNT) were optimized by Density Functional Theory (DFT) in the gas phase, both having the same length of 5 angstrom and n=9, m=9. B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory have been used to determine and compare electronic properties, n...

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...
