Complete basis set prediction of methanol isotropic nuclear magnetic shieldings and indirect nuclear spin–spin coupling constants (SSCC) using polari…
2009
Efficient B3LYP and BHandH density functionals were used to estimate methanol's nuclear magnetic isotropic shieldings and spin–spin coupling constants in the basis set limit. Polarization‐consistent pcS‐n and pcJ‐n (n = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4), and segmented contracted XZP, where X = D, T, Q and 5, basis sets were used and the results fitted with simple mathematical formulas. The performance of the methods was assessed from comparison with experiment and higher level calculations. 1J(CH) and 3J(HH) values were determined from very diluted solutions in deuterochloroform and compared with theoretical predictions. The agreement between complete basis set (CBS) density functional theory (DFT) predict…
H2O, H2, HF, F2 and F2O nuclear magnetic shielding constants and indirect nuclear spin–spin coupling constants (SSCCs) in the BHandH/pcJ‐n and BHandH…
2009
Good performance of segmented contracted basis sets XZP, where X = D, T, Q and 5, for obtaining H2O, H2, HF, F2 and F2O nuclear isotropic shielding constants in the BHandH Kohn–Sham basis set limit was shown. The results of two‐ and three‐parameter complete basis set limit extrapolation schemes were compared with experimental results, earlier literature data and benchmark ab initio results. Similar convergence patterns of shieldings obtained from calculations using general purpose XZP basis sets and from polarization‐consistent basis sets pcS‐n and pcJ‐n, where n = 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, designed to accurately predict magnetic properties were observed. On the contrary, the SSCCs were more sensit…
DFT calculation of structures and NMR chemical shifts of simple models of small diameter zigzag single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs)
2011
Linearly conjugated benzene rings (acenes), belt‐shape molecules (cyclic acenes) and model single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were fully optimized at the unrestricted level of density functional theory (UB3LYP/6‐31G*). The models of SWCNTs were selected to get some insight into the potential changes of NMR chemical shift upon systematic increase of the molecular size. The theoretical NMR chemical shifts were calculated at the B3LYP/pcS‐2 level of theory using benzene as reference. In addition, the change of radial breathing mode (RBM), empirically correlated with SWCNT diameter, was directly related with the radius of cyclic acenes. Both geometrical and NMR parameters were extrapolated t…
From CCSD(T)/aug‐cc‐pVTZ‐J to CCSD(T) complete basis set limit isotropic nuclear magnetic shieldings via affordable DFT/CBS calculations
2011
It is shown that a linear correlation exists between nuclear shielding constants for nine small inorganic and organic molecules (N2, CO, CO2, NH3, CH4, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6 and C6H6) calculated with 47 methods (42 DFT methods, RHF, MP2, SOPPA, SOPPA(CCSD), CCSD(T)) and the aug‐cc‐pVTZ‐J basis set and corresponding complete basis set results, estimated from calculations with the family of polarization‐consistent pcS‐n basis sets. This implies that the remaining basis set error of the aug‐cc‐pVTZ‐J basis set is very similar in DFT and CCSD(T) calculations. As the aug‐cc‐pVTZ‐J basis set is significantly smaller, CCSD(T)/aug‐cc‐pVTZ‐J calculations allow in combination with affordable DFT/pcS‐n com…
Kinetically Controlled Stepwise Self-Assembly of AuI-Metallopeptides in Water
2018
The combination of attractive supramolecular interactions of a hydrophobic AuI-metallopeptide with the shielding effect of flexible oligoethylene glycol chains provides access to a stepwise self-assembly of a AuI-metalloamphiphile in water. Kinetic control of the supramolecular polymer morphology is achieved using a temperature-dependent assembly protocol, which yields low dispersity supramolecular polymers (metastable state I) or helical bundled nanorods (state II).
Coil overlap in moderately concentrated polyelectrolyte solutions: effects of self-shielding as compared with salt-shielding as a function of chain l…
2016
The generalized intrinsic viscosity {η} (hydrodynamic volume of the solute at arbitrary polymer concentration c) – introduced by analogy to the intrinsic viscosity [η] – provides access to the degree of coil overlap Ω for polyelectrolyte solutions in pure water or in saline water. The experimental basis of this investigation consists in viscosity measurements as a function of c for a large number of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (Na-PSS) samples covering the molecular weight range from 0.91 to 1000 kg mol−1. The accurate modeling of these dependencies with a maximum of three parameters yields detailed information on Ω as a function of (c[η]) in the absence and in the presence of extra salt. …
Estimation of isotropic nuclear magnetic shieldings in the CCSD(T) and MP2 complete basis set limit using affordable correlation calculations
2013
A linear correlation between isotropic nuclear magnetic shielding constants for seven model molecules (CH2O, H2O, HF, F2, HCN, SiH4 and H2S) calculated with 37 methods (34 density functionals, RHF, MP2 and CCSD(T)), with affordable pcS-2 basis set and corresponding complete basis set results, estimated from calculations with the family of polarization-consistent pcS-n basis sets is reported. This dependence was also supported by inspection of profiles of deviation between CBS estimated nuclear shieldings and shieldings obtained with the significantly smaller basis sets pcS-2 and aug-cc-pVTZ-J for the selected set of 37 calculation methods. It was possible to formulate a practical approach o…
Benzen i metan jako wzorce przesunięcia chemicznego 1 H i 13 C NMR w obliczeniach teoretycznych
2020
NMR spectroscopy belongs to the most versatile techniques used in chemical laboratory for testing the presence of various compounds and elucidation of their structure. In case of more complex natural products chemical intuition and experience applied to analysis of experimental spectra is often supported by theoretical modeling of NMR spectra. However, theoretical predictions should be reliable and the errors associated with the approximations inherent to the existing methods minimized. In this respect, systematic errors, present in calculation of isotropic nuclear magnetic shieldings of the studied molecule need to be minimized. Conversion of nuclear shieldings of the studied molecule to t…
Tube Housing Leakiness Radiation and Patient Related Radiation Protective Measures – Gonads Radiation Exposure from Panoramic Radiography
2009
The purpose of this study was to compare patient- and apparatus related radiation protective measures considering gonad radiation exposure at panoramic radiography. The local dose (yGv) in the region of the gonads of a male Alderson-Rando-Phantom was measured by the dosimeter Tol-F (Berthold Technology, Germany) during panoramic radiography (PR) by the digital Orthophos XG plus®(Sirona / Bensheim, Germany). Different radiation protective measures was investigated during constant exposure parameters. In the second part of the survey the same ionisation chamber recorded the scattered radiation at the gonads level of the none protected phantom at various case shielding. Without protection apro…
Radiation transmission data for radionuclides and materials relevant to brachytherapy facility shielding
2008
To address the limited availability of radiation shielding data for brachytherapy as well as some disparity in existing data, Monte Carlo simulation was used to generate radiation transmission data for 60Co, 137CS, 198Au, 192Ir 169Yb, 170Tm, 131Cs, 125I, and 103pd photons through concrete, stainless steel, lead, as well as lead glass and baryte concrete. Results accounting for the oblique incidence of radiation to the barrier, spectral variation with barrier thickness, and broad beam conditions in a realistic geometry are compared to corresponding data in the literature in terms of the half value layer (HVL) and tenth value layer (TVL) indices. It is also shown that radiation shielding calc…
