Chemical Shift: Internal References and Solvent Effects

741
In an NMR sample, precise measurement of the absolute absorption frequencies of nuclei is difficult. A standard internal reference compound is added, and the frequency difference between the reference signal and sample signals is measured.
The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...

¹H NMR of Conformationally Flexible Molecules: Temporal Resolution

At room temperature, the chair conformer of cyclohexane undergoes rapid ring flipping between two equivalent chair conformers at a rate of approximately 105 times per second. These two chair conformers are in equilibrium. The rapid ring flipping results in the interconversion of the axial proton to an equatorial proton and an equatorial to the axial proton. Such interconversions are too rapid and cannot be detected on the NMR timescale. Hence, the NMR spectrometer cannot distinguish between the...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Chemistry
  • Molecular Dynamics
  • Quantum Mechanics/Molecular Mechanics (QM/M)

Background:

  • The Nonadiabatic EXcited-state Molecular Dynamics (NEXMD) package simulates photoexcitation and energy relaxation in complex molecules.
  • Simulations of excited-state dynamics often require accurate treatment of electronic and vibrational energy transfer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate the NEXMD package with the AMBERTOOLS SANDER package for excited-state adiabatic quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) simulations.
  • To enable simulations of large conjugated materials in QM/MM environments, including explicit solvents.

Main Methods:

  • Linked the NEXMD package with the SANDER package for QM/MM simulations.
  • Performed excited-state adiabatic dynamics simulations of a substituted polyphenylene vinylene oligomer (PPV3-NO2).
  • Analyzed optical spectrum, state-dependent conformational changes, and quantum bond orderings in vacuum and explicit solvents.

Main Results:

  • The NEXMD-SANDER combination successfully performed excited-state adiabatic dynamics simulations.
  • Comparative analysis revealed changes in optical spectra and conformational dynamics influenced by solvent environments.
  • The impact of expanding the QM region with solvent molecules was analyzed.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method facilitates excited-state adiabatic dynamics simulations of large conjugated materials in QM/MM environments.
  • The findings support the use of this combined approach for future NEXMD simulations.
  • This integration provides a robust framework for studying photoexcited processes in complex molecular systems.
