Spin-orbit effects on the 125Te magnetic-shielding tensor: A cluster-based ZORA/DFT investigation
1Department of Chemistry, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, 66506, USA.
Abstract:
Cluster-based calculations of 125Te magnetic-shielding tensors demonstrate that inclusion of spin-orbit effects is necessary to obtain the best agreement of theoretical predictions with experiment. The spin-orbit contribution to shielding depends on the oxidation state and stereochemistry of the 125Te site. Comparison of the performance of various density functionals indicates that GGA functionals behave similarly to each other in predicting NMR magnetic shielding. The use of hybrid functionals improves the predictive ability on average for a large set of 125Te-containing materials. The amount of Hartree-Fock exchange affects the predicted parameters. Inclusion of larger Hartree-Fock exchange contributions in hybrid functionals results in larger slopes of the correlation between calculated magnetic-shielding and experimental chemical-shift principal components, by 10-15% from the ideal value.

The Energies of Atomic Orbitals
Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
