We present nuclear spin–rotation constants, absolute nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) shielding constants, and shielding spans of all the nuclei in 175LuX and 197AuX (X = 19F, 35Cl, 79Br, 127I), calculated using coupled-cluster singles-and-doubles with a perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) correction theory, four-component relativistic density functional theory (relativistic DFT), and non-relativistic DFT. ...

Approaches and programs for calculations of the EPR g-tensor in the framework of the two- and four-component methods are still very rare. There are three main reasons for this: the wider community's unawareness of the importance of second- and higher order spin–orbit effects on the g-tensor, the methodological problems associated with performing such calculations and the lack of understanding of ...

Electron and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies are indispensable and powerful methods for investigating the molecular and electronic structures of open-shell systems. We demonstrate that the NMR and EPR parameters are extremely sensitive quantitative probes for the electronic spin density around heavy-metal atoms and the metal–ligand bonding. Using relativistic density-functional theory, we ...

We report the first implementation of real-time time-dependent density functional theory (RT-TDDFT) at the relativistic four-component level of theory. In contrast to the perturbative linear-response TDDFT approach (LR-TDDFT), the RT-TDDFT approach performs an explicit time propagation of the Dirac–Kohn–Sham density matrix, offering the possibility to simulate molecular spectroscopies involving ...

ABSTRACT Four-component relativistic treatments of the electron paramagnetic resonance g-tensor have so far been based on a common gauge origin and a restricted kinetically balanced basis. The results of such calculations are prone to exhibit a dependence on the choice of the gauge origin for the vector potential associated with uniform magnetic field and a related dependence on the basis set ...

The four-component matrix Dirac-Kohn-Sham (mDKS) implementation of EPR g- and hyperfine A-tensor calculations within a restricted kinetic balance framework in the ReSpect code has been extended to hybrid functionals. The methodology is validated for an extended set of small 4d1 and 5d1 [MEXn] q systems, and for a series of larger Ir(II) and Pt(III) d7 complexes (S=1/2) with particularly ...

We present an implementation of the nuclear spin–rotation (SR) constants based on the relativistic four-component Dirac–Coulomb Hamiltonian. This formalism has been implemented in the framework of the Hartree–Fock and Kohn–Sham theory, allowing assessment of both pure and hybrid exchange–correlation functionals. In the density-functional theory (DFT) implementation of the response equations, a ...

Magnetically induced probability currents in molecules are studied in relativistic theory. Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) enhances the curvature and gives rise to a previously unobserved current cusp in AuH or small bulge-like distortions in HgH2 at the proton positions. The origin of this curvature is magnetically induced spin-density arising from SOC in the relativistic description.

Ruthenium-based compounds are potential candidates for use as anticancer metallodrugs. The central ruthenium atom can be in the oxidation state +2 (e.g., RAPTA, RAED) or +3 (e.g., NAMI, KP). In this study we focus on paramagnetic NAMI analogs of a general structure [4-R-pyH]+ <i>trans</i>-[Ru^IIICl₄(DMSO)(4-R-py)]⁻, where 4-R-py stands for a 4-substituted pyridine. ...

The performance of relativistic density functional theory (DFT) methods has been investigated for the calculation of the recently measured hyperfine coupling constants of hexafluorido complexes [ReF₆ ] ^2- and [IrF₆ ] ^2- . Three relativistic methods were employed at the DFT level of theory: the 2-component zeroth-order regular approximation ...
