Abstract

Gauge including atomic orbitals (GIAO) (1)H NMR chemical shift calculations have been performed for 66 organic compounds at 72 different levels of theory using the multi-standard approach (MSTD) previously developed for (13)C NMR. This straightforward computational technique involves the combination of methanol and benzene as standards. The studied methodology has been shown to predict (1)H NMR chemical shifts efficiently at different levels of theory.
