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.

Molecular And Electronic Structure

A thoroughly structural characterization of (TTC)GePh (TTC [Formula: see text] 5,10,15-tritolylcorrole; Ph [Formula: see text] phenyl) in solution has been carried out through a combination of 2D NMR (1H-1H COSY, 1H-1H ROESY, 1H-[Formula: see text]C HSQC and 1H-[Formula: see text]C HMBC) experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the molecular and electronic structure and the shielding constants. The 1H and [Formula: see text]C chemical shifts computed at DFT-S12g and DFT-SAOP levels of theory nicely reproduce the experimental values, the agreement between theory and experiment being especially good for the DFT-S12g results. The calculations prove to be able to capture the fine details of the NMR spectra and to resolve some assignment ambiguities related to the inherent conformational flexibility of the macrocycle. The calculations also provide an explanation of the observed chemical shift trends in terms of diamagnetic and paramagnetic components of the shielding tensor.

Chalcones have attracted the attention of researchers for decades, they are biologically classified as secondary metabolites of low molecular weight. These are considered as the precursors of flavonoids and they are widely distributed in plants such as vegetables, fruits, teas and spices. It has been demonstrating that chalcones possess many important bioactivities including properties of antioxidants and other evidence of its potential beneficial effects on health. Chalcone compounds and its derivatives have been showing a growing interest in the therapeutic properties. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most important tools for determining the structures of organic molecules. In the work present a 13C Nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift protocol of chalcones and derivative based on the application of scaling factor with chalcone molecules. This protocol consists of using density functional theory with gauge-including atomic orbital method to calculating 13C chemical shifts and the application of a parameterized scaling factor in order to ensure accurate structural determination of chalcones and derivative.

The 13C chemical shift tensors of two crystalline forms of glucose (α-glucose and α-glucose·H2O) were determined from one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy experiments. The experimental values determined from 1D and 2D methods are in very good agreement. Quantum chemical calculations were also carried out using the gauge-including projector augmented wave (GIPAW) method for plane-wave density functional theory (DFT) as implemented in the CAmbridge Serial Total Energy Package (CASTEP). The calculated 13C chemical shifts were found to be in excellent agreement with experimental values for crystal structures that had their hydrogen atoms optimized and after an appropriate calibration was applied to convert calculated chemical shieldings into chemical shifts. The work presented here lays an important foundation for future solid-state NMR and quantum chemical calculation investigations of the various crystalline forms of cellulose.

13C Chemical Shift

State-of-the-art work in the field of NMR crystallography for molecular systems at natural abundance has recently focused on the accurate measurement of 1H chemical shift values. We will show how when coupled with crystal structure prediction (CSP) methods, this protocol is well-suited for solving the crystal structures of small to medium sized organic molecules, including cocaine and the de-novo structure determination of AZD8329.[1,2] As complementary 1D and 2D NMR experiments are needed for the 1H assignment process, other information, such as isotropic 13C chemical shift values (δiso) are measured. Unfortunately, 13C chemical shifts are not generally useful for structure determination. Additional NMR parameters that are sensitive to structure would ensure that the structure determination procedure is robust, and would provide more accurate refinements when studying larger or more challenging systems. Here, we measure 13C chemical shift tensors for a variety of prototypical organic pharmaceuticals and use density functional theory computations under the gauge-including projector augmented-wave (GIPAW) formalism to probe whether these parameters may be discriminatory for unit cell determinations and structure determination (notably when added to the CSP + 1H chemical shifts protocol).

The characterization of the stability of the fused aromatic region (FAR) in oil asphaltenes in terms of kinetic and thermodynamic stability is primary. Such an understanding is important if we are to get the optimal use from the heavy fraction of any crude oil. The FAR region is composed of pericondensed cyclopenta-fused polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (CPPAHs) with N, S, and O heteroatoms. The Clar model, which states that the most important representation of a PAH is one having the maximum number of disjoint π-sextets, depicted by inscribed circles, and a minimum number of fixed double bonds, captures the essence of the kinetic and thermodynamic stability arguments. This model is readily employed for complex aromatics of the sort to be considered for asphaltenes. In the present research we prove that the aromaticity of CPPAHs can be assessed by using the qualitative easy-to-apply Y-rule. In the literature, it is proven that the Y-rule is applicable to elucidate the aromaticity of benzenoid PAHs and it has been validated for pericondensed benzenoid PAHs but not for pericondensed CPPAHs. Here, we verify that it is applicable for CPPAHs. The applicability of the Y-rule has been theoretically proven by comparing the π-electronic distribution obtained with it with the one obtained from nucleus-independent chemical shift (NICS) calculations at the density functional theory (DFT) level. The importance of doing this is that due to the polydispersity in the composition of the oil asphaltenes, and to understand their aromatic core structure, it is necessary to be able to asses the aromaticity of many cyclopenta-fused PAHs (possibly more than 500), of different sizes (up to 15 rings between hexagons and pentagons), and different spatial rearrangements in a quick but realistic and effective way. To try to do this with NICS will be very time consuming and computationally expensive, especially in the case of big systems.

The 31P chemical shift tensor components and anisotropies of the trimethyl- and triphenylphosphine complexes of the group 6 metal pentacarbonyls, M(CO)5PR3 (M = Cr, Mo, W and R = Me, Ph), have been measured using solid-state CP-MAS 31P NMR spectroscopy. For the trimethylphosphine derivatives, the chemical shift tensors have near axial symmetry and the shift tensor components are in reasonable agreement with the calculated values for the chromium and molybdenum complexes. In the triphenylphosphine complexes, the tensors are asymmetric due to the different torsion angles of the phenyl rings. The trend to higher shielding of the isotropic 31P chemical shifts on descending group 6 arises from changes in the perpendicular components of the shift tensor. The one-bond coupling constants, 1J(95/97Mo-31P), for the trimethyl- and triphenylphosphine complexes are 129 and 133 Hz, respectively.Key words: chemical shift anisotropy, phosphines, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten.

Quadrupolar Coupling

17O solid-state NMR studies of waters of hydration in crystalline solids are presented. The 17O quadrupolar coupling and chemical shift (CS) tensors, and their relative orientations, are measured experimentally at room temperature for α-oxalic acid dihydrate, barium chlorate monohydrate, lithium sulfate monohydrate, potassium oxalate monohydrate, and sodium perchlorate monohydrate. The 17O quadrupolar coupling constants (CQ) range from 6.6 to 7.35 MHz and the isotropic chemical shifts range from –17 to 19.7 ppm. The oxygen CS tensor spans vary from 25 to 78 ppm. These represent the first complete CS and electric field gradient tensor measurements for water coordinated to metals in the solid state. Gauge-including projector-augmented wave density functional theory calculations overestimate the values of CQ, likely due to librational dynamics of the water molecules. Computed CS tensors only qualitatively match the experimental data. The lack of strong correlations between the experimental and computed data, and between these data and any single structural feature, is attributed to motion of the water molecules and to the relatively small overall range in the NMR parameters relative to their measurement precision. Nevertheless, the isotropic chemical shift, quadrupolar coupling constant, and CS tensor span clearly differentiate between the samples studied and establish a ‘fingerprint’ 17O spectral region for water coordinated to metals in solids.

The interest in diphenyl ditelluride (Ph2Te2) is related to its strict analogy to diphenyl diselenide (Ph2Se2), whose capacity to reduce organic peroxides is largely exploited in catalysis and green chemistry. Since the latter is also a promising candidate as an antioxidant drug and mimic of the ubiquitous enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx), the use of organotellurides in medicinal chemistry is gaining importance, despite the fact that tellurium has no recognized biological role and its toxicity must be cautiously pondered. Both Ph2Se2 and Ph2Te2 exhibit significant conformational freedom due to the softness of the inter-chalcogen and carbon–chalcogen bonds, preventing the existence of a unique structure in solution. Therefore, the accurate calculation of the NMR chemical shifts of these flexible molecules is not trivial. In this study, a detailed structural analysis of Ph2Te2 is carried out using a computational approach combining classical molecular dynamics and relativistic density functional theory methods. The goal is to establish how structural changes affect the electronic structure of diphenyl ditelluride, particularly the 125Te chemical shift.

Isotropic Chemical Shifts

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.

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.
