Lecture 5: First principle calculation of the NMR spin Hamiltonian parameters including nuclear Zeeman, Shielding tensor and Spin-Spin coupling A) The Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrum of the helium atom 1. GENERALITY The H atom, and all other paramagnetic molecules as well present peculiar problems essentially due to the fast relaxation of the electronic spin. As a consequence a broadening of the absorption lines results and the NMR signal can no more be observed. Hence we turn to the He atom which is diamagnetic and more appropriate to introduce the basic principle of NMR. The electron pair of He has its spins coupled to form a singlet without magnetic moment et only the nuclear magnetic moment has to be considered. The nuclide 4He has no nuclear spin solely the 3He with an abundance of 0.0001% has to be considered. The nuclear spin possesses 2 states: |α> and |β> in a magnetic field the absorption of energy by the bare nucleus occurs at the resonance frequency : ωN = γNH. La probability P of a NMR transition can be calculated in the same way as for the spin of the electron i.e. the oscillating electromagnetic wave 2H1cos(ωt) produces a perturbation: v(t) = 2γNhH1Ixcos(ωt) from which one obtains P = 2πγN2H12|<αN|Ix|βN>|2g(ω) = πγN2H12|<αN|I++I- |βN>|2g(ω) = (1/2)πγN2H12g(ω) The main feature of this equation is that γN is much smaller than the gyromagnetic factor γe of the electron. Thus, the probability of NMR transitions are roughly 10-5 smaller than those for EPR spectra. 2. CHEMICAL SHIFT OR SHIELDING EFFECT The observed NMR frequencies for 3He as well as for all other nuclei differs slightly from the theoretical value gNβN of the free nucleus. This phenomenon is called chemical shift or shielding effect. It originates from the electronic current that the external magnetic field induces in the atoms. These electric currents induces et the place of the nucleus an additional magnetic field that is opposed to the external magnetic field and whose intensity is proportional to the applied field strength. Thus, the total effective magnetic filed acting onto the nuclear magnetic moment is: Heff = (1-σ)H

where σ is a small number of the order of 10-6 called shielding constant. The expression for the nuclear Zeeman energy has to be modified as: HZe = -gNβN(1-σ)HIz Thus, in NMR spectroscopy a transition at constant frequency will appear at a higher field as for the free nucleus. The theory of the chemical shift in a closed shell atom is quite. In the external magnetic field, the entire spherical electron cloud precesses about the field direction as if it were a rotating rigid sphere of electricity, and its angular velocity is ! = eH

2mc . This is illustrated in the fig. below:

! = eH/(2mc)

Since an electron at a distance r from the nucleus moves with the velocity v = !"r it produces a secondary magnetic field:

H' = - ec r!v

On average the electrons are distributed over the atom with a probability density ρ(r) and the average secondary field is:

When H || z one can show that the components x and y of H' vanish, leaving a screening field -σH directed along the z axis. We evaluate the vector product in the equation below to obtain:

This relation is also called the Lamb formula, and we see that the screening constant σ depends on the mean value <1/r> for all electrons. For He the integral above works out at 3.377 in units of 1/a0 and the calculated screening constant is σ = 59.93 ppm. B) NMR Spectra of molecules in solution There are two types of interaction which are important: the nuclear Zeeman interaction and nuclear spin-spin coupling. As we saw in the previous section, the surrounding electrons in a molecule produce shielding effects which change the Zeeman term, from H = -gNβNHIz to -gNβN(1-σ)HIz. This is because the actual field at the nucleus is the sum of two magnetic fields, H the applied field, and R' = -σH, the local field at the nucleus arising from the induced electronic currents. H' varies according to the chemical environment of the proton, and if measurements are made with a fixed frequency, the applied field necessary to satisfy the resonance condition also varies from one type of proton to another. The strongest coupling between two nuclear moments is the dipole-dipole coupling discussed in the next section. However we noted that the dipolar interaction tensor is traceless and hence vanishes for a rotating molecule in the liquid phase. Fortunately there are other mechanisms which couple the nuclear spins and although the magnitudes of the couplings are extremely small, they do not vanish for molecules in solution. The most important mechanism leading to correlation of nuclear spins involves polarization of the intervening electron spins. We will see in the next chapter how this occurs. Before embarking on a detailed discussion of the two main interactions, let us consider the familiar example of acetaldehyde, CH3CHO, which illustrates the most important features. First we note the presence of two chemically distinct types of protons, so that the proton resonance spectrum (Fig. below) shows two groups of lines with different relative intensities. The stronger group arises from the three equivalent methyl protons, and the weaker group front the a1dehyde proton. Under conditions of normal resolution these two groups reveal the presence of further structure. The methyl line is split into two components of equal intensity, corresponding to the two allowed orientations of the aldehyde proton spin. The aldehyde proton line shows a more complex splitting into font lines.

The separation between the methyl and aldehydic peaks is called the chemical shift; the fine structure within each peak is called the spin-spin splitting. To account for the splitting it la necessary to postulate an isotropic coupling Hamiltonian of the type H = J I1! I2 between each pair of proton spins in the molecule and then analyze the energy levels and transitions within the spin system by the methods used in the previous section. J is called the coupling constant and is measured in cycles pet second (cps). As usual, molecules in a liquid rotate rapidly and J is actually the average over all orientations of an anisotropic spin-spin coupling tensor. 1. THE CHEMICAL SHIFT In liquids the screening tensor σ reduces to an isotropic screening constant σ and the nuclear Zeeman energy becomes

Thus a positive value of a shifts the resonance to high field. In practice the measurements are made relative to a for some standard compound in the same solvent rather than the bare proton. For instance if the nucleus contains several chemically different protons the Hamiltonian becomes

H = -gN!NH 1-"i Izi!i

and the relative chemical shift of protons 1 and 2 is

!

H0

The chemical shift is often quoted in frequency units by converting the magnetic fields in the equation above into resonance frequencies. The relative shift is then denoted by the symbol δ. δ1 - δ2 = gNβN(H1-H2)/h = (σ1-σ2)gNβNH0/h = (σ1-σ2)ν0 2. SPIN-SPIN COUPLING The acetaldehyde spectrum is a straightforward example of spin-spin coupling, and we shall now interpret it in more detail. The first stage is to write down a suitable spin Hamiltonian. It is most convenient to work in frequency units, so that the Zeeman energy is H0 = - !0 1-"A Iz1 + Iz2 + Iz3 - !0 1-"B Iz4 Here I1, I2, I3 are the methyl proton spins, shielding constant σA and I4 is the aldehyde proton with shielding σB. The spin I4 must couple equally on the average with the three methyl spins, giving a term HAB = J I1 + I2 + I3 ! I4 Couplings will also exist between the methyl protons, but these can be ignored. The important feature which makes a simple analysis possible is that J is much smaller than the relative chemical shift

δ = ν0(σA – σB) of the two kinds of proton. The stationary states of the Zeeman Hamiltonian have the four nuclei quantized along the magnetic field, with quantum numbers m1, m2, m3 and m4 while the zero order energy levels depend only on the total resolved spins of the two groups A and B. Let us define total spin vectors for the groups FA = I1 + I2 + I3 et FB = I4

Page 6: Lecture 5: First principle calculation of the NMR spin ...mission.igic.bas.bg/downloads/Lecture5.pdf · Lecture 5: First principle calculation of the NMR spin Hamiltonian parameters

and new quantum numbers for the operators FzA and FzB MA = (m1 + m2 + m3) and MB = m4 The Zeeman energy now becomes H0 = - !0 1-"A FzA - !0 1-"B FzB The first order spin-spin coupling energy JFA! FB depends only on the diagonal matrix elements of operators like JI1! I4 that is on the value of Iz1Iz4 or m1m4. So we easily see that the total coupling energy is proportional to MAMB. To sum up, the first order energy levels of the spin system are E/h = - !0 1-"A MA - !0 1-"B MB + JMAMB There are two types of allowed n.m.r. transition. In the methyl transitions one of the protons 1,2,3 turns over, so that MA changes by ± 1 and the coupling energy changes by ±JMB. Hence there are two lines at frequencies ν = ν0(1-σA) - JMB (A resonance) ν = ν0(1-σA) ± J/2 The aldehyde proton makes transitions at the frequency ν = ν0(1-σB) - JMA (B resonance) but there are now 4 possible lines corresponding to the different arrangements of methyl spins, i.e.: ααα MA = 3/2 αβα, ααβ, βαα MA = 1/2 ββα, αββ, βαβ MA = -1/2 βββ MA = -3/2 At room temperature all orientations of the spins are equally probable and one observes 2 NMR lines for methyl with equal intensity. However, the resonance of aldehyde consists of 4 equidistant lines separated by J and having intensities in the ratio of 1:3:3:1, which corresponds to the number of methyl spin arrangements. C) Interpretation of the chemical shift and of the spin-spin coupling 1. THE CHIMICAL SHIFT We saw in a previous section that a uniform magnetic field causes the whole electron of an atom to precess about the direction of the of H causing electronic currents to flow. These currents give a secondary magnetic field at the nucleus and lead to the chemical shift.

Page 7: Lecture 5: First principle calculation of the NMR spin ...mission.igic.bas.bg/downloads/Lecture5.pdf · Lecture 5: First principle calculation of the NMR spin Hamiltonian parameters

If the nucleus is part of a molecule, the electrons are, in general, no longer completely free to rotate about the direction of H. This leads to two new effects: (i) that the secondary field H’ is nor necessarily parallel to H and the shielding must be represented by an anisotropic tensor σ; (ii) the theoretical expression for the shielding involves an additional term which often has the opposite sign of the Lamb term. To describe theoretically the chemical shift, let us first consider the classical expression for the current density in absence of an external magnetic field: j = -c

where v is the velocity of the electron and ρ = ψ∗ψ its density. If we substitute v by pm

(p is the linear momentum of the electron) and represent p by the equivalent quantum mechanical operator, one thus obtains: j = i eh

2!mc "*#" - "#"* (H = 0 )

When ψ represents a closed non-degenerate shell, ψ is real and j = 0 everywhere in the molecule. However, if an external permanent magnetic field is switched on, v has to be represented by v = 1

A rigorous method to calculate the chemical shift is thus: (i) Solve the modified Schrödinger equation as above;

and two equivalent expressions for x and y. It is important to note that the chemical shift does not depend whatsoever upon the electron spin! 2. SPIN-SPIN COUPLING

There are in fact many contributions. For the sake of simplicity we only consider here the most important one which is the contact coupling aI! S tending to align the electron spin anti-parallel to the nuclear spin. The other contributions can generally be neglected.

HPSO and HDSO are called the Paramagnetic and Diamagnetic Spin-Orbit operators, whileHσ gives the, diamagnetic part of the nuclear shielding.

The NMR shielding, which is the mixed second derivative with respect to, a nuclear spin and an external magnetic field, has in analogy with the magnetizability a diamagnetic and a paramagnetic part. The diamagnetic part arises from P2

! while the paramagnetic contribution contains products of matrix elements from P1

PSO (from the nuclear spin) and the angular moment operator L (from the external field). Written in terms of the perturbation formula (18), the expression for the nuclear shielding for atom A becomes

All the operators P2

! , P1PSO and L are gauge dependent, relating to the position of atom A and each of

the dia- and para-magnetic terms depends on the chosen gauge. In order to describe nuclear spin-spin coupling, we need to include electron and nuclear spins, which are not present in the non-relativistic Hamilton operator. A relativistic treatment, gives a direct nuclear-nuclear coupling term:

The HFC and HSD operators determine the isotropic and anisotropic parts of the hyperfine coupling constant (eq. 11), respectively. The latter contribution averages out for rapidly tumbling molecules (solution, or gas phase), and the (isotropic) hyperfine coupling constant is therefore determined by the Fermi-Contact contribution, i.e. the electron density at the nucleus. The indirect spin-spin coupling between nuclei A and B which is the one observed in solution phase NMR, contains several contributions

PSO , P1FC and P1

SD . P1FC and P1

SD contain the electron spin operators and for a singlet ground state (as is usually the case), this means that the excited state ψi in the summation must be a triplet state. Since P1

PSO does not depend on electronic spin, this means that the combinations of P1

PSO with either P1FC or P1

SD give zero contribution. For rapidly tumbling molecules, it can be shown the cross term between P1

FC and P1SD averages out. For the trace (sum of

the diagonal terms) of the 3 x 3 coupling matrix J which is the observed coupling constant, only the three "diagonal" terms (Pl = Pl’) in thus survive. It is often found that the Fermi-Contact term is the most important, especially for one-bond couplings (2J), followed by the Paramagnetic Spin-Orbit, while the Diamagnetic Spin-Orbit and Spin-Dipolar contributions are small. It should be noted, however, that this is based on relatively few data.

2. Gauge Dependence of Magnetic Properties There are two factors which make the calculation of magnetic properties somewhat more complicated than. the corresponding electric properties. First, the angular momentum operator L is imaginary, implying that the wave function must be allowed to be complex. Second, the presence of the gauge origin in the, operators means that the results may be origin-dependent. An exact wave function will of course give origin dependent results, as will a HF wave function if a complete basis set is employed. In practice, however, a finite basis must be employed, and standard basis sets will yield results which, depend on where the user has chosen the origin of the gauge to be. The centre of mass is often used, but this is by no means a unique choice. The gauge error depends on the distance between the wave function and the gauge origin, and some methods try to minimize the error by selecting separate gauges for each (localized) molecular orbital. Two such methods are known as Individual Gauge for Localized Orbitals (IGLO) and Localized Orbital/local oRiGin (LORG). A more recent implementation, which completely, eliminates the gauge dependence, is to make the basis functions explicitly dependent on the magnetic field by inclusion of a complex phase factor referring to the position of the basis function (usually the nucleus).

Such orbitals are known as London Atomic Orbitals (LAO) or Gauge Including/Invariant Atomic Orbitals (GIAO). The effect is that matrix elements involving GIAOs only contain a difference in vector potentials, thereby removing the reference to an absolute gauge origin. For the overlap and potential energy it is straightforward to see that matrix elements become independent of the gauge origin.

Note that RG has been replaced by RB in the last bracket. The use of GIAOs as basis functions makes all matrix elements, and therefore all properties, independent of the gauge origin. The wave function itself, however, is expressed in term of the basis functions, and therefore becomes origin dependent, by means of a complex phase factor. The use of perturbation-dependent basis functions has the further advantage of strongly reducing the need for high angular momentum functions, i.e. the property is typically calculated with an accuracy comparable to that of the unperturbed system. While LAO/GIAO had been proposed well before the advent of modern computational chémistry, it was only developments in calculating (geometrical) derivatives of the energy (and wave function) that made it practical, to use field-dependent orbitals.

NMR

Among the calculation of second-order magnetic response properties the calculation of nuclear magnetic shielding tensor plays a relevant role. It's generally known that the calculation of such a property requires gauge invariant procedures. The GIAO (Gauge Including Atomic Orbital)[1] and the CSGT (Continuous Set of Gauge Transformations)[2] are available in the standard Gaussian94 package.

General Procedure

In order to get the relative shift in ppm it is necessary to know the absolute shitfs of the nuclei of the analysed molecule and those of the standard (SiMe4, TMS).

r I .

!

r I refers to the lowest nuclear level and is the total angular momentum vector for the

nucleus. It is customary to do nuclear resonance on compounds which have singlet electronic ground states and we discuss this case for hexa-coordinated d6, low-spin, transition metal ions. The direct interaction of the nuclear magnetic moment with an external magnetic field

r H is

However, the actual interaction is different because the field at the nucleus is modified by the magnetic moment induced in the electronic system by the external field. It is conventional to write the actual first-order interaction with

!

r H as

!

" 1"#( )r µ $

r H . So

!

"r µ #

r H represents the modification and σ is called

the chemical screening constant. σ has two parts. One originates from the nuclear hyperfine interaction described in the appendix and the other from the diamagnetic part of the Hamiltonian for the interaction of the electronic system with magnetic fields. We now evaluate these in order. To start, we know that the ground state for a hexa-coordinated d6, low-spin complex in a magnetic field

r H , corresponds to the eigenstate with lowest energy of the following Hamiltonian within the d6 ligandfield manifold:

In order to illustrate this finding, let us consider the simple case of octahedral low-spin cobalt(iii) compounds. In this case, the |t2

6 1A1> ground state is not much affected by spin-orbit coupling and the screening tensor will be isotropic because of the octahedral symmetry. Thus, only the z-component of the Zeeman and of the hyperfine operators has to be considered. Moreover, among the excited ligandfield states only |t2

to the chemical screening constant and where α = 1/137.037 is the fine structure constant If we now take the Z axis along the direction of the external field, the energy levels of the nucleus are at -(1-σ)γβNHMI and for absorption and emission of electromagnetic radiation we have the usual selection rule ΔMI = ±1.

for an atomic state. B commutes with I and is a tensor operator of rank 1 with respect to the electronic angular momentum j. The 2nd factor I commutes with j and is a tensor operator of rank 1 with respect to I. Writing f = j + I for the total angular momentum we deduce that Δ commutes with f. We wish to know the matrix elements of Δ within the set of states |jIfmf> which arise from a given level of the atom and, of course, from the ground state of the nucleus. f ranges from |I-j| to I+j. The commutation rules listed above will enable us to simplify the calculation of the energy eigenvalues in the same way as for the spin orbit coupling in deriving the Landé interval rule. We have

j = l ±1 2 we have

!

a = 2"#e#N r$3 l l +1( )j j +1( )

.

In order to facilitate the calculation it is useful to replace parts of Δ by equivalent operators (Wigner-Eckart theorem). It is convenient to do this in stages and we take the 1st bracket first and let f=1. Then the z-component of Δ is

Remember now that if we have to determine matrix elements of a rank two tensor operator (2z2-x2-y2, x2-y2, xy, xz, yz) we 1st express them as symmetrical quadratic form, for example : xy = (xy+yx)/2 and then replace each of the x, y, z by the corresponding component of J. That is :

Abstract In the present work, the ZORA spin-orbit Hamiltonian, in conjunction with the gauge including orbital (GIAO) method based on DFT theory has been used to calculate 195Pt chemical shift of 195PtClxBr6-x

2- complexes. Excellent agreement with experiments has been obtained for calculations bearing on optimized geometries and all electrons triple zeta + polarization (TZP) STO basis sets: the relative error with respect to experiment amounts to less than 1.5%. It is found that the Pt chemical shift is dominated by the paramagnetic and the spin orbit contribution, whereas the diamagnetic term remains negligible. The influence of the quality of the basis sets have been studied and found small provided a basis set like TZP is used. Several calculations have been performed in order to establish the sensitivity of the chemical shift to a variation in the bond lengths. A strong dependence has been found, with an increase of the chemical shift amounting 150 ppm/pm for a distances decrease. A large sensitivity to the solvation, leading to changes in the structure, is then expected. Different tests using conductor like screening models have been performed in order to establish the sensitivity of the chemical shift to solvation. It has been observed that the changes in the geometry are more important than charge transfers. Finally the sensitivity of the system to the exchange-correlation functional is found rather weak, at least among the GGA functionals. Keywords: NMR, solvation, shielding tensor, relativistic effects, platinum complexes. Introduction The first experimental measurements of the chemical shifts in Pt halides were reported in 1968 by von Zelewskyi. He observed that mixed platinum halides exhibit strong chemical shifts. The same year Dean ii and Green published the first predictions of platinum chemical shift. For the first time Ramsey equationsiii were used for the calculation of the paramagnetic tensor known to be the majority contribution of the shielding tensor in PtX4 planar square complexes, showing that the orbital energy gap contributed to the platinum chemical shift less than did the covalence of the platinum-ligands bonds. These pioneer calculations on platinum have been of limited use for a while, because of the high number of electrons in platinum, involving a large amount of computer time and requiring relativistic corrections to be taken into account. In order to reduce the computational demand of such systems, Kaupp et al.iv have for the first time proposed a DFT approach involving the use of pseudo potentials for the representation of the electronic core of transition metals. Indeed, the break through in the calculation of the NMR chemical shift can be related to the work of Malkinv et al. who were the first to compute this property through a DFT approach with Kohn-Sham independent gauge for localized orbitals

(IGLO)vi. Later a significant development in the computation of the chemical shift has been brought by the works of Schreckenbachviia,b,c where the calculation of NMR shielding tensors using gauge including atomic orbitals (GIAO) and

modern density functional theory has been applied to calculate 17O absolute shielding in transition metal oxides [MO4]n- . This model has also successfully been used by Gilbert to calculate the 195Pt chemical shift for a series of Pt (II) complexesviii. Finally, for sake of completeness, we also mention that Pickart and Mauriix have extended the Blöchlx projector augmented wave (PAW) in order to include the gauge, leading to calculations of the NMR chemical shifts with pseudo potentials. Their gauge-including projector augmented wave (GIPAW) permits to calculate NMR chemical shifts with a pseudopotential approach leading to results comparable to GIAO all electron calculations. Experimental details 195Pt is a nucleus with ½ spin and an isotopic abundance of 33.7% well suitable for NMR experiments. In the practical experimentsxi, measurements of the peak area are performed, corresponding to an aqueous solution of Na2PtCl6 1mol/L concentration in which a solution of sodium bromide 1.5 molar is added. A substitution of chlorine by bromine in the complex follows, leading to different peaks in the spectrum. NMR experiments were performed with a Brucker 300MHz apparatus, at room temperature. The change in the chemical environment around platinum leads to the observation of different peaks with quasi constant intervals as reported in Table III. The complex system will contain some isomers, such as cis and trans [PtCl4Br2]-2), in that case, the abundance related to these isomers (4/5 for the cis form) enables to differentiate them through the observation on the spectrum of the integrals amounting 128.2 and 31.6 for a shift amounting 582-583 ppm, corresponding to the ratio 0.80 and 0.19, respectively, in agreement with the theoretical prediction. Theoretical details Frozen core Approximation. It has been retained for the geometry optimization of the complexes. This approximation assumes that Molecular Orbitals (MOs) describing inner shell electrons remain unperturbed in going from a free atom to a molecule. Thus, these inner electrons can be excluded from the variational procedure, and, instead, they are pre-calculated in an atomic calculation and kept frozen thereafter. The justification for this approximation is that the inner-shell electrons of an atom are less sensitive to their environment than are the valence electrons. On the contrary, for the calculation of the shielding tensor (vide infra), it is necessary to take into account any change in all orbitals, including core orbitals which, being localised near the nuclei, are strongly interacting with the nuclear spin momentum. We have therefore calculated the shielding tensor with all electrons basis sets, and also performed calculations with frozen cores, in order to evaluate the contribution of core orbitals to the evaluation of the chemical shift. Relativistic Zora approximation For heavy atoms, it is well known that an accurate description can only be obtained if additional effort is carried out to solve the Schrödinger equation; knowing that the electrons move fast near an heavy atom nucleus, the effects the theory of special relativity must be taken into account. In 1928, Diracxii proposed the following equation which makes the quantum theory compatible with the relativity theory: Нrψ=Eψ with Hr=cα.p+βc2+V (1)

Page 32: Lecture 5: First principle calculation of the NMR spin ...mission.igic.bas.bg/downloads/Lecture5.pdf · Lecture 5: First principle calculation of the NMR spin Hamiltonian parameters

where α (component: x, y, z) and β are Dirac’s 4x4 matrices, p is the momentum operator , V is the potential, ψ is the wave function with four relativistic components, and H is the Hamiltonian of the system; c is the speed of light, and atomic units are used throughout. Note that in Dirac’s formulation, the particles can have positive or negative energies and the energy spectrum contains the bound states in between a positive and a negative energy continuum. By some standard transformations on the wave function, the explicit form of the Dirac equation leads to the following equation, eliminating the so-called small component of the wave function:

The current problem with this approximation is that in the core region, the assumption that p2<<4c2 is inappropriate for heavy atoms and thus one needs to freeze the core of the atom in order to avoid variational instabilities. In other words, the Pauli approximation is not recommended for all electrons calculations of heavy atom. An alternative approximation of the Dirac equation is to consider that in the core region, we have E<< (2c2-V). At the zeroth order of approximation, the Hamiltonian takes the form:

This equation is known as ZORAxiii xiv(zero order regularization approximation). The ZORA approximation provides the possibility to perform all electrons calculation. ZORA can further be approximated by neglecting the last term (i.e. spin-orbit interaction) in equation (5). This is called scalar relativistic corrections, since only the spin-orbit term splits/couples non-relativistic representations. The scalar ZORA has been used in this work for geometry optimization. Nuclear shielding tensor. Using atomic units, the shielding tensorxv for a given nucleus, is defined as the second derivative of the total electronic energy, E, with respect to a constant external magnetic field, B, and a nuclear magnetic moment of nucleus with tth component µt

The ZORA TZP basis set with frozen core on Pt (4d), Br (3p), and Cl (2p) has been used. ZORA relativistic corrections have been applied, (scalar in geometry optimizations and with spin-orbit for the calculation of the hyperfine tensor). LDA exchange-correlation functional (Slater for exchangexix and Vosko-Wilk-Nusair for correlationxx) has been retained for the geometry optimization. This is justified by the fact that the geometries obtained are closer to experiment than the generalized gradient approximations (GGA) let obtainxxi. Indeed, one obtains trends for the properties calculated at the GGA level of approximation (or hybrid functionals) on such geometries which are similar to those calculated at self-consistent GGA geometries. The solvation model retained for the study of solvent effects is the "conductor like screening model" (COSMO) model. It is well known that dielectric screening energies of a given geometry scale as

B (m*n matrix) is the electrostatic interaction of unit charges at rj with unit charges on s. C is the classical coulomb operator between the charges Qi A (mxm) is the electrostatic interaction of two different charge qi surface

Therefore by minimizing the equation (16) we can obtain the effective screening charge

!# (18) This equation is similar for the total screening energy of a conductor (equation 15) During the computational process, we can choose to include D* in the Hamiltonian of the system as a perturbation (post SCF calculation) or during the SCF procedure (Variation method). Three different types of cavityxxiii have been used to represent sphere surface model of the solute molecule in the solvent. These surfaces are constructed with GEPOL93 algorithmxxiv. "Asurf" yields the solvent accessible surface (SAS), it consists of the path traced by the center of a spherical solvent molecule rolling on the van der Waals surface. "ESurf" gives the solvent excluding surface (SES), which consists of the path traced by the surface of a spherical solvent molecule rolling on the VDW surface. "Klamt" as well as Esurf excludes also the cusp regions of the overlapping van der Waals spheres, but differs in the formulation. Since we do not have experimental values to compare with, the influence of solvent effect has been computed only for [PtCl6]-2 and [PtBr6]-2 complexes, for which, because of their Oh symmetry, only bond lengths can be altered. No angular distortion, nor any differential (Br vs Cl) charge transfer can be expected for the inclusion of these complexes into the solvent model. The 195Pt chemical shift has been estimated using the NMR program implemented in ADF using the wave function calculated with the ZORA relativistic approximation and including spin-orbit term. We have distinguished calculations performed with frozen cores and all electron calculations on 195Pt Results and discussion 1. Structure of the 195PtClxBr6-x

The bond length reported for the solvated complexes is an average of the six lengths obtained through the optimization process: this takes its origin in the fact that the excluding or accessible surface used in the solvation models does not retain the symmetry of the system, allowing a slight distortion to occur. It is interesting to notice that the variational procedure leads in all models to shorter bond lengths, by 10 to 21pm, according to the model retained. The change in Mulliken charges, on the contrary, is rather small with the Asurf model, a little bit larger with the Esurf model, and roughly in between with the Klamt model (the platinum charge decreases through solvation by 0.05 for PtCl6

2-, and 0.03 for PtBr62-

). This is related to the solvation energies which are, for the Klamt model, between the Asurf model (smaller) and the Esurf model (larger). The perturbational approach, on the contrary, which does not permit a change in the ionicity of the Pt-X bonds, is less sensitive, and leads to distortions in the opposite direction, if any. One cannot exclude a sensitivity of the effect to the basis set, which has not been studied.

3. NMR chemical shifts of the 195PtClxBr6-x2- complexes

As can be seen on Table III, a very good agreement with experiment is obtained provided that the shielding tensor is computed with an all electron basis set; PW91xxv gradient corrections has been used for exchange and correlation. On the contrary, the calculations with frozen cores exhibit a systematic deviation, which was expected because of the participation of core levels to the shielding which cannot be taken into account. One can notice that the chemical shift is dominated by the paramagnetic contribution whereas the diamagnetic contribution is rather small (0.5%). The paramagnetic chemical shift is largely determined by the first order coupling magnetic coupling term between occupied and virtual orbitals. Table III indicates also that as the number of softer ligands (Br) increases, through substitution of the harder ones (Cl), the chemical shift becomes more and more negative. Table III.

The chemical shift is roughly proportional to the number of bromine atoms, as can be seen from an inspection of Fig. 1 and from Table III. The assignment of the chemical shift to each isomer is experimentally straightforward because it can be extracted from the relative intensity of the peaks which is given by the statistical distribution of the isomers (e.g. PtX4Y2 exists with a theoretical ratio cis/trans = 4). Figure 1 shows an excellent correlation between experimental values and the computed values, the absolute maximum deviation being less than 2.3%, obtained for [PtBr6]2-, with an absolute average deviation being less than 1.5%. In order to check what could be the origin of this (small) deviation, we have calculated the influence of the bond length to the chemical shift. This is easy to perform on the [PtBr6]2- complex because, thanks to its Oh symmetry, there is only one bond length parameter. Figure 2 shows that one gets a quasi-linear relationship between the chemical shift and the bond length, with a slope of ca. 150 ppm/pm. One can notice (Table III) that the experimental difference in the chemical shift of the different isomers is rather small (1-2 ppm), and found somewhat larger theoretically (10-20 ppm). However the relative order between 2 isomers is always in agreement with the experiment. Finally, one have to recall that the chemical shift depends strongly to the geometry accuracy, the 1ppm difference in two chemical shifts corresponding to a difference of 0.01pm, i.e. much less than the precision required for our geometry optimization computation.

As indicated in equations 9-10, it is interesting to compare the importance of the contributions to the isotropic NMR shielding, coming from orbitals excitations either in the paramagnetic isotropic term or the spin-orbit (Fermi contact) term. One sees in Table IV that roughly 2/3 of the effect originates from the paramagnetic contribution. Whereas the diamagnetic contribution to the screening tensor is rather modest. It does not involve the virtual orbitals (eq. 8) and hence is not sensitive to the gap and remains unchanged among the different clusters. Thus, it does not contribute significantly to the chemical shift. 4. Solvent effects on the NMR chemical shift Because the experiments are performed in aqueous solution, one can expect that it is necessary to take solvent effects into account. As already said, we have restricted this study to the [PtCl6]-2 (references) and to the [PtBr6]-2 cases, conserving the octahedral symmetry of the complexes. Other molecules

would exhibit distortions which may involve different polarizabilities of the Pt-Br and Pt-Cl bonds, and therefore possibly be more sensitive to other parameters such as basis sets. We have reported in Table V the results obtained for the different cavity models, and the perturbational/SCF calculations. Table V: deviations of the chemical shift (ppm) for each type of cavity. Surface option Pertubation approach Variational approach Asurf 409 -27 ESurf 804 -53 Klamt 523 4 The results show unambiguously that it is necessary to use a variational process. The perturbation approach leading in some cases to deviations with a wrong sign. Finally no test has been performed in order to check is the triangulation of the van der Waals spheres uses a sufficient number of sections. It is fixed to 5 in the ADF code, and is assumed to be accurate enough by the developers. From this table, it appears that the Klamt model provides the best results, as expected on the basis of the general trends derived from other worksxxvi,xxvii,xxviii 5. Influence of the basis sets and the exchange-correlation functionals Both of them have been tested. The results obtained indicate that one obtains a very accurate determination of the chemical shift, with an average deviation as small as 0.1 % (average absolute deviation less than 1.5%) when a TZP basis set is chosen. This is clearly visible in the Figure 1. Calculations performed with TZ2P basis sets did not lead to any significant improvement brought by the addition of a second polarization function into the basis set. Indeed slightly worsen results, with an average absolute deviation amounting to 3 % have been obtained. This is not too surprising, since the environment of the platinum atom is highly symmetric in the whole set of complexes studied. The results obtained with various GGA exchange-correlation functionals belonging to the GGA family are reported in Table VI.

The results show a limited influence on the exchange-correlation functional employed. However, the functionals derived from a combination with the given correlation functional (namely PBE or LYP) internally consistent i.e. very similar among them. This would indicate that the dynamic correlation, modelled through the correlation functional plays an important role, whereas the exchange functional, which describes the non-dynamical correlation, is less important. Concluding remarks The uncoupled GIAO-DFT method with ZORA relativistic corrections have lead to an excellent description of the 195Pt NMR spectra of 195PtClxBr6-x

2- complexes. The frozen core approximation leads to a deviation of approximately 20%, whereas the full electron calculation provides an agreement with experiment which is extremely good, and sensitive to accurate determinations of the bond lengths of the complexes. These bond lengths are slightly modified by solvation, as expected, and the Klamt model is the one which leads to the best agreement with experiment. The present calculations have been obtained using ADF like black box. That is the almost linear dependence on the number of substituted bromide ions is not yet understood. We plan to address this problem deeper in a forthcoming publication.
