Calculations of solid‐state 43Ca NMR parameters: A comparison of periodic and cluster approaches and an evaluation of DFT functionals

We present a computational study of magnetic‐shielding and quadrupolar‐coupling tensors of 43Ca sites in crystalline solids. A comparison between periodic and cluster‐based approaches for modeling solid‐state interactions demonstrates that cluster‐based approaches are suitable for predicting 43Ca NMR parameters. Several model chemistries, including Hartree–Fock theory and 17 DFT approximations (SVWN, CA‐PZ, PBE, PBE0, PW91, B3PW91, rPBE, PBEsol, WC, PKZB, BMK, M06‐L, M06, M06‐2X, M06‐HF, TPSS, and TPSSh), are evaluated for the prediction of 43Ca NMR parameters. Convergence of NMR parameters with respect to basis sets of the form cc‐pVXZ (X = D, T, Q) is also evaluated. All DFT methods lead to substantial, and frequently systematic, overestimations of experimental chemical shifts. Hartree–Fock calculations outperform all DFT methods for the prediction of 43Ca chemical‐shift tensors. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
