Structural and magnetic properties of one anionic and one cationic amphiphile molecule (sodium octanoate and hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride, respectively) in water are studied comparing different methods to account for the presence of the solvent. Calculated 13C NMR chemical shifts are used as the probe for accuracy of the theoretical electronic structures obtained with different descriptions of the surfactants in water solution. The best agreement with the experimental data are obtained by averaging 13C NMR isotropic chemical shifts over a large number of conformational structures of sodium octanoate while considering the electronic structure of the solvent molecules. The 13C chemical shift values of the hexadecyltrimethylammonium alkane chain are systematically overestimated by 10–15 ppm even if an extensive conformational sampling and water as the polarized continuum medium have been taken into consideration. The role of the basis set quality has been studied and discussed as well.

We review contributions made towards the elucidation of CO and O 2 binding geometries in respiratory proteins. Nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and quantum chemistry have all been used to investigate the Fe –ligand interactions. Early experimental results showed linear correlations between 17 O chemical shifts and the infrared stretching frequency (νCO) of the CO ligand in carbonmonoxyheme proteins and between the 17 O chemical shift and the 13CO shift. These correlations led to early theoretical investigations of the vibrational frequency of carbon monoxide and of the 13 C and 17 O NMR chemical shifts in the presence of uniform and non-uniform electric fields. Early success in modeling these spectroscopic observables then led to the use of computational methods, in conjunction with experiment, to evaluate ligand-binding geometries in heme proteins. Density functional theory results are described which predict 57 Fe chemical shifts and Mössbauer electric field gradient tensors, 17 O NMR isotropic chemical shifts, chemical shift tensors and nuclear quadrupole coupling constants (e2qQ/h) as well as 13 C isotropic chemical shifts and chemical shift tensors in organometallic clusters, heme model metalloporphyrins and in metalloproteins. A principal result is that CO in most heme proteins has an essentially linear and untilted geometry (τ = 4 °, β = 7 °) which is in extremely good agreement with a recently published X-ray synchrotron structure. CO / O 2 discrimination is thus attributable to polar interactions with the distal histidine residue, rather than major Fe–C–O geometric distortions.

In this study, the methylene bis(dithiobenzoate) molecule, (C15H12S4), as a bioactive molecule has been subjected to quantum chemical computations using density functional theory (DFT) in order to investigate the molecular geometry, IR, UV-visible and NMR spectral studies. The title molecule has been optimized at the B3LYP, B3PW91 and PBE11PBE levels of DFT and 6-311G(d,p) basis set. Furthermore, the vibrational frequencies, the HOMO-LUMO energy levels, the 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts (ppm), nonlinear optical properties calculations of the title compound were obtained by B3LYP, B3PW91 and PBE1PBE levels. The maximum electronic transition wavelengths, oscillator strengths, excited state and transition dipole moments for the title compound were also investigated by B3LYP, B3PW91 and PBE1PBE levels of time-dependent (TD)-DFT. Keywords: methylene bis(dithiobenzonoate), IR and UV-vis spectroscopy, 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts, NLO DFT method.

The correlation consistent Composite Approach for transition metals (ccCA-TM) and density functional theory (DFT) computations have been applied to investigate the fluxional mechanisms of cyclooctatetraene tricarbonyl chromium ((COT)Cr(CO)3) and 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclooctatetraene tricarbonyl chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten ((TMCOT)M(CO)3 (M = Cr, Mo, and W)) complexes. The geometries of (COT)Cr(CO)3 were fully characterized with the PBEPBE, PBE0, B3LYP, and B97-1 functionals with various basis set/ECP combinations, while all investigated (TMCOT)M(CO)3 complexes were fully characterized with the PBEPBE, PBE0, and B3LYP methods. The energetics of the fluxional dynamics of (COT)Cr(CO)3 were examined using the correlation consistent Composite Approach for transition metals (ccCA-TM) to provide reliable energy benchmarks for corresponding DFT results. The PBE0/BS1 results are in semiquantitative agreement with the ccCA-TM results. Various transition states were identified for the fluxional processes of (COT)Cr(CO)3. The PBEPBE/BS1 energetics indicate that the 1,2-shift is the lowest energy fluxional process, while the B3LYP/BS1 energetics (where BS1 = H, C, O: 6-31G(d′); M: mod-LANL2DZ(f)-ECP) indicate the 1,3-shift having a lower electronic energy of activation than the 1,2-shift by 2.9 kcal mol−1. Notably, PBE0/BS1 describes the (CO)3 rotation to be the lowest energy process, followed by the 1,3-shift. Six transition states have been identified in the fluxional processes of each of the (TMCOT)M(CO)3 complexes (except for (TMCOT)W(CO)3), two of which are 1,2-shift transition states. The lowest-energy fluxional process of each (TMCOT)M(CO)3 complex (computed with the PBE0 functional) has a ΔG‡ of 12.6, 12.8, and 13.2 kcal mol−1 for Cr, Mo, and W complexes, respectively. Good agreement was observed between the experimental and computed 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR chemical shifts for (TMCOT)Cr(CO)3 and (TMCOT)Mo(CO)3 at three different temperature regimes, with coalescence of chemically equivalent groups at higher temperatures.

Abstract A small library of 6-substituted syringyl model compounds with aliphatic, carboxylic, phenylic, benzylic alcohols and brominated substituents were prepared. The influence of the substituents on the chemical shifts of the compounds was analyzed. All of model compounds showed a characteristic increase in the 13C NMR chemical shift of the methoxy group vicinal to the substitution. This 13C NMR peak and its corresponding correlation peak in HSQC could potentially be used to identify 6-condensation in syringylic lignin samples.

A versatile synthetic building block, 2-amino-1,10-phenanthrolin-1-ium chloride (L∙HCl) was synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H and 13C NMR DEPT analysis, UV/Vis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. The molecular geometry, vibrational wavenumbers and gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO), 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts values of the title compound in the ground state were obtained by using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set and compared with the experimental data. Electronic absorption spectrum of the salt was determined using the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method at the same level. In the NMR and electronic absorption spectra calculations, the effect of solvent on the theoretical parameters was included using the default model with DMSO as solvent. The obtained theoretical parameters agree well with the experimental findings.

In this work, the interaction of C 20 with N 2 X 2 ( X = H , F , Cl , Br , Me ) molecules has been explored using the B3LYP, M062x methods and 6-311G(d,p) and 6-311+G(d,p) basis sets. The interaction energies (IEs) obtained with standard method were corrected by basis set superposition error (BSSE) during the geometry optimization for all molecules at the same levels of theory. It was found C 20… N 2 H 2 interaction is stronger than the interaction of other N 2 X 2 ( X = F , Cl , Br , Me ) with C 20. Highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO, respectively) levels are illustrated by density of states spectra (DOS). The nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICSs) confirm that C 20… N 2 X 2 molecules exhibit aromatic characteristics. Geometries obtained from DFT calculations were used to perform NBO analysis. Also, 14 N NQR parameters of the C 20… N 2 X 2 molecules are predicted.

Abstract A series of alkyl-arylsubstituted N-methyl phosphinothioformamides, R(Ph)PC(S)NHMe (2 a-g), with varying bulkiness of the alkyl rest was synthesized from the racemic secondary phosphines 1a-g and methyl isothiocyanate. 1H and 13C NMR spectra of 2a−g reveal signal sets of diastereotopic nuclei due to the asymmetry of the molecule. The chemical shift and coupling constants were confirmed by simulation in case of 2b, c. The vicinal 31P−13C couplings of the menthyl and neomenthyl compounds 2f, g show an "anti-Karplus" behaviour (3J(gauche) > 3J(trans)) and allow the conformational assignment of the alicyclic group. The 31P chemical shifts of 2a−d give a linear correlation with the cone angle of the alkyl substituents quoted from literature.

In mixtures of water (W) and one of the organic solvents pyridine, acetonitrile, and dimethyl sulfoxide (O), the silver ion forms the following solvate complexes: AgW2, AgWO, and Ag02. The chemical shift of 109Ag is strongly affected by the ligating solvent molecules, and replacing the ligand W by one of the three organic ligands yields a higher Larmor frequency. In solvent mixtures, only a single resonance line has been observed because of rapid chemical exchange. The measured chemical shifts in the range up to 400 ppm are mean values of the chemical shifts of the different solvate species in a given mixture, weighted with their relative concentrations. The 109Ag chemical shifts were determined for 0.05 to 0.15 molal solutions of AgNO3, as functions of the mole fractions of the solvent components. Using a Gaussian least squares fitting routine, the individual chemical shifts of the Ag+ solvate complexes and the corresponding equilibrium constants were determined. This fit was successful for the whole mole fraction range of DMSO, while in the solvent systems with acetonitrile and with pyridine at higher concentrations of the organic component the chemical shift is influenced by more than two solvent molecules. In these cases equilibrium constants were calculated from chemical shift data for solutions of low mole fraction of acetonitrile and pyridine.

We present the first chemical application of the recent, general theory of the nuclear magnetic resonance shielding and chemical shift in paramagnetic compounds, to a set of nonaxial high-spin metallo-organic complexes. The theory is for the first time rigorous for systems of arbitrary spatial and spin symmetry, and introduces new structure to the isotropic, anisotropic but symmetric, and anisotropic and antisymmetric parts of the shielding tensor. We apply the theory using density functional calculations of the proton chemical shift in a family of nonaxial chromium(III) complexes possessing a quartet ground electronic spin state. We discuss the various contributions to the isotropic chemical shift, and compare the full theory to approximate forms appropriate to the doublet case on the one hand, and to the doublet case at the nonrelativistic limit, on the other hand. The performance of various exchange-correlation functionals in reproducing the recently measured experimental chemical shifts is evaluated.
