Accuracy limit of chemical shift predictions for species in aqueous solution

Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys.: Accurate predictions of chemical shifts of species in aqueous solution are possible by combining ab initio molecular dynamics simulations with quantum-mechanical solvation models.

In a recent publication in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, a team led by RESOLV PIs D. Marx and S. M. Kast showed that accurate predictions of chemical shifts of species in aqueous solution are possible by combining ab initio molecular dynamics simulations for ensembles of locally solvated target and reference compound (DSS) with quantum-mechanical solvation models. The results demonstrate the current state of the art in modelling NMR-spectroscopic features in aqueous solution without any empirical model adjustment.
