“…In all calculations, we used the locally dense basis set scheme (see Methods), well approved in our previous work . Calculated 77 Se NMR chemical shifts are benchmarked against their experimental values measured in nonpolar solvents (CDCL 3 , CD 2 Cl 2 , CCl 4 ) elsewhere for compounds 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , and 18 . The relative performance of seven tested functionals together with RPA scheme to reproduce experimental values of 77 Se NMR chemical shifts in the series of 2–18 is demonstrated in Figure showing MAEs of the calculated values against experiment.…”
