Highlights with ‘NMR’

Webinar 5: NMR shielding, J-coupling and EFG analysis with NBOs

Join our next FREE webinar in our Spring Webinar series 2023 on Thursday 22nd June, at 15:00h CEST, with Professor Jochen Autschbach, to learn about NMR shielding, J-coupling and EFG analysis with NBOs. Presenter: Jochen...

Benchmark Study on the Calculation of 119Sn NMR Chemical Shifts

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the most important analytical methods for elucidating chemical structures. Nevertheless, for some nuclei the range of possible chemical shifts is huge and corresponding NMR measurements are often...

Strong NMR enhancement: PHIP-X

NMR signals are often too weak for many chemical and biomedical applications such as reaction monitoring or the real time investigation of metabolism in-vivo. A new method has been developed to enhance NMR signals: parahydrogen-induced...

Exceptional Uranium-Nitride Triple Bond Covalency confirmed with NMR

The Liddle group continues to deeply probe the unusual nature of the actinide-main group bonds through combined experimental and computational studies. We previously highlighted the first U-N triple bonds along with a number of other...

Unraveling structure and reactivity of Pt complexes: NMR & EPR

A recent combined experimental and theoretical study by the Kaupp group scrutinizes transition metal phosphanide chemistry which helps to understand catalytic processes involved in C-P bond formation and breaking. The reaction of a Pt-PPh3 with...

Microstructure of doped lead halide perovskites from solid-state NMR

Multi-component lead halide perovskites have recently emerged as new promising materials for solar cells and light emitting devices. Essential to their remarkable performance is the notion of doping with inorganic and organic cations such as...

ADF developer Jochen Autschbach wins Schoellkopf Medal

Many congratulations to Jochen for winning the 2019 Schoellkopf Medal! In ADF, Jochen has implemented very useful methods for spectroscopic properties (NMR, EPR, NLO), including accurate and efficient relativistic treatment and analysis tools. Check out...

Biomimetic anolyte for aqueous redox flow batteries

In two Nature Energy papers, ADF was used to help understand the experiments in an effort to make better Li-ion (non-flammable electrolytes, see paper) and redox flow batteries. The redox flow battery paper focused on...

NMR – NBO analysis tutorial

Check out the new ADF advanced tutorial on analyzing NMR chemical shifts with NBOs. As established in a 2017 paper by Jochen Autschbach et al., the chemical shifts due to substitutions on an aromatic ring...

SO-HALA NMR Chemical Shifts: General Trends Across the Periodic Table Explained with ADF

In a recently published JCTC article Jan Vicha and coworkers explain the SO-HALA (Spin-Orbit Heavy Atom on the Light Atom) NMR chemical shifts across the periodic table based on relativistic DFT calculations with spin-orbit coupling ZORA...
