Improving the accuracy of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shift prediction with a simple molecular correction

A fast, straightforward method for computing NMR chemical shieldings of crystalline solids is proposed. The method combines the advantages of both conventional approaches: periodic calculations using plane-wave basis sets and molecular computational approaches. The periodic calculations capture the periodic nature of crystalline solids, but the computational level of the electronic structure calculation is limited to general-gradient-approximation (GGA) density functionals. It is demonstrated that a correction to the GGA result calculated on an isolated molecule at a higher level of theory significantly improves the correlations between experimental and calculated chemical shifts while adding almost no additional computational cost. Corrections calculated with a hybrid density functional improved the accuracy of 13C, 15N and 17O chemical shift predictions significantly and allowed identifying errors in previously published experimental data. Applications of the approach to crystalline isocytosine, methacrylamide, and testosterone are presented.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
