    Motivation

    • Inhouse collaboration with (bio)inorganic chemists:

    • Lasse Hemmingsen:

    • Structure of Hg-protein complexes is studied by 199Hg NMR and PAC spectroscopy

    • Interpretation of spectra requires calculations of the Hg chemical shifts and field gradients

    • Jesper Bendix:

    • Re and Ir complexes show interesting molecular magnet properties

    • 13C chemical shifts of Ru-terminal carbide complexes exhibits irregular variation with the ligands

    • Calculations are asked for

    • Relativistic effects have to be accounted for

    • Calibration of approximate two-component methods

  • Slide 4

    Department of Chemistry

    Relativistic Methods

    Solving the Dirac equations:

    Four-component fully relativistic linear response theory

    Implemented in DIRAC by Saue & Jensen and …

    Implemented in ReSpect by Repisky, Komorovsky, Malkin, Malkina, Kaupp, and …

    NMR: Conclusions

    Absolute shieldings σ:

    ZORA does not recover all relativistic corrections

    ZORA reproduces the trend of relative relativistic corrections

    Large basis sets (QZ4P) are necessary for ZORA calculations.

    The TZ2P basis set may give large errors

    Chemical shifts δ:

    ZORA agrees well with 4-component calculations

    ZORA reproduces HALA effects

    Smaller basis sets might be ok

    Conclusions

    Electric field gradient

    SO-ZORA agrees well with 4-component calculations also on

    changing the geometry

    BH&H best reproduces 4-component CCSD-T results

    Electron correlation – relativity coupling is larger than NR
