In chloroform directory: jsub -np 2 tm chloroform_pbe0_tzvp_nmr mpshiftĪnd in TMS directory: jsub -np 2 tm TMS_pbe0_tzvp_nmr mpshift The jobs would finish very quickly with one CPU, but let's use 2 CPUs to illustrate how parallel mpshift jobs are run. The mpshift module does not need any additional keywords.

NMR shielding constants are calculated with the module mpshift. NMR shielding constant calculation with mpshift

The optimizations should finish in a few seconds as the starting geometries were already close to minimum. In chloroform directory: jsub tm chloroform_pbe0_tzvp_opt jobex -riĪnd in TMS directory: jsub tm TMS_pbe0_tzvp_opt jobex -ri Submit geometry optimizations for both jobs (1 CPU is enough as these are small and symmetric systems). NMR shielding constants should always be calculated at optimized geometries.

As normally in this guide, use DFT integration grid m4 and turn on both RI and MARIJ.

Point group symmetries are C 3v for chloroform and T d for TMS.

The XYZ coordinates are available here: chloroform and TMS.Ĭreate new directories for both molecules and create inputs for them with define. The level of theory used here is DFT-PBE0/def2-TZVP. The experimental chemical shifts with respect to TMS are 7.26 ppm for 1H and 77.2 ppm for 13C. Let's calculate the 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts of chloroform (CHCl 3). Very important for NMR calculations: Please make sure that exactly the same level of theory is used for the calculation of the studied molecule and the reference species! Please pay attention especially on the basis set. For example, in the case of 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts, the reference species is typically tetramethylsilane, Si(CH 3 ) 4, abbreviated as TMS. Usually, we choose a reference species that is used in the related experimental NMR studies. The shielding constants can then be converted to NMR chemical shifts with the help of a suitable reference species. We will be calculating NMR shielding constants using the GIAO (Gauge-Including Atomic Orbital) method. Introduction to NMR chemical shift calculations
