“…4 The 1-carboxymethyl-3-aminopyridinium chloride was studied by B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) calculations and 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopies. 5 Correlations between the experimental 1 H and 13 C chemical shifts (d exp ) and the GIAO/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) calculated magnetic isotropic shielding (s cal ) in DMSO and D 2 O, d exp= a þ b Á s calc , were reported. Chemical shifts d were calculated for the 1 H attached to carbon atoms of sarcosine using DFT and mixing the four functionals B3LYP, PBE, OPBE, PBE0 and the two basis sets 6-311 þ þ G** and pcJ2.…”
