“…Non-relativistic DFT calculations of shielding for light atoms, usually with PCM standing in for the solvent, provide quick resolution of spectral assignments and answers to structural questions for experimentalists. Some recent examples are the following: DFT calculation of 15 N NMR chemical shifts of the nitrogencontaining heterocycles (best results with KT3 functional) (Samultsev et al, 2014), using the KT3 functional and PCM for 15 N NMR chemical shifts of 27 azoles and azines in 10 different solvents (Semenov et al, 2014), using mPW1PW91 functional for calculations of 1 H chemical shifts in lactones (Aimola et al, 2015), using B3LYP for 1 H and 13 C in tautomeric 1-[(pyridin-2-yl amino) methyl] pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (Boobalan et al, 2014), using mPW1PW91 and PCM for 1 H and 13 C in lignin amino acid adducts (Diehl et al, 2014), using 16 different functionals for 1 H and 13 C in (R)-ispinesib, a drug molecule (Hill et al, 2015), using B3LYP in COSMO solvent model for for 1 H and 13 C shielding in bis(4trimethylammoniumbenzoate) hydroiodide hydrate in DMSO (Komasa et al, 2015), using B3LYP for 13 C shielding in tautomers of vitamin B-13 in PCM solvent model (Kubica and Gryff-Keller, 2015), using 7 different functionals for 13 C shielding in 2hydroxylamino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (Liu et al, 2015), using BP86 functional for 13 C shielding tensors in C60 and C60 10+ (Munoz-Castro, 2015), using BHandH functional for 13 C and 17 O in 1,3-dioxolane and 19 F in perfluoro-1,3dioxolane (Nozirov et al, 2014), using B3LYP for 1 H and 13 C in in 2-bromo-1H-benzimidazol (Sas et al, 2015), using B3LYP for 1 H and 13 C shielding in 1:2 complex of dimethylphenyl betaine with 2,6-dichloro-4nitro-phenol in DMSO (Szafran et al, 2015), and using the MPW1K (Lynch et al, 2000) hybrid functional with PCM solvent model for 29 Si in 24 organosilanes (Zhang et al, 2014 parameters, nuclear shielding in particular, has appeared (Bagno and Saielli, 2015).…”
