Twelve common density functional methods and seven basis sets for geometry optimization were evaluated on the accuracy of 1 H/ 13 C NMR chemical shift calculations for biaryls. For these functionals, 1 H shifts calculations for gas phase optimized geometries were significantly less accurate than those for in-solution optimized structures, while 13 C results were not strongly influenced by geometry optimization methods and solvent effects. B3LYP, B3PW91, mPW1PW91 and ω B97XD were the best-performing functionals with lowest errors; among seven basis sets, DGDZVP2 and 6-31G(d,p) outperformed the others. The combination of these functionals and basis sets resulted in high accuracy with CMAE min = 0.0327 ppm (0.76%) and 0.888 ppm (0.58%) for 1 H and 13 C, respectively. The selected functionals and basis set were validated when consistently producing optimized structures with high accuracy results for 1 H and 13 C chemical shift calculations of two other biaryls. This study highly recommends the IEFPCM/B3LYP, B3PW91, mPW1PW91 or ω B97XD/DGDZVP2 or 6-31G(d,p) level of theory for the geometry optimization step, especially the solvent incorporation, which would lead to high accuracy 1 H/ 13 C calculation. This work would assist in the fully structural assignments of biaryls and provide insights into in-solution biaryl conformations.

Due to the rigid structure of 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA), its 31P chemical shift solely depends on non-covalent interactions in which the molecule is involved. The maximum range of change caused by the most common of these, hydrogen bonding, is only 6 ppm, because the active site is one of the PTA nitrogen atoms. In contrast, when the PTA phosphorus atom is coordinated to a metal, the range of change exceeds 100 ppm. This feature can be used to support or reject specific structural models of organometallic transition metal complexes in solution by comparing the experimental and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculated values of this 31P chemical shift. This approach has been tested on a variety of the metals of groups 8–12 and molecular structures. General recommendations for appropriate basis sets are reported.
