This article describes some highlights of the research which has been carried out in my laboratory at the University of Ottawa over the period covering 2005 to 2014. My research is in the general areas of solid-state NMR, applications of quantum chemistry, and biomolecular NMR. The format will follow that of my 2014 Canadian Society for Chemistry Keith Laidler Award presentation given in Vancouver in June 2014 at the 97th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition. Following a brief introduction, I will present some of our most interesting and exciting recent advances according to the following six themes: 1. Fundamental solid-state NMR. 2. Materials characterization and NMR crystallography. 3. Pharmaceuticals and polymorphism. 4. Non-covalent interactions: Halogen bonds. 5. Biomolecular NMR. 6. Software development.

Motional averaging has been proven to be significant in predicting the chemical shifts inab initiosolid-state NMR calculations, and the applicability of motional averaging with molecular dynamics has been shown to depend on the accuracy of the molecular mechanical force field. The performance of a fully automatically generated tailor-made force field (TMFF) for the dynamic aspects of NMR crystallography is evaluated and compared with existing benchmarks, including static dispersion-corrected density functional theory calculations and the COMPASS force field. The crystal structure of free base cocaine is used as an example. The results reveal that, even though the TMFF outperforms the COMPASS force field for representing the energies and conformations of predicted structures, it does not give significant improvement in the accuracy of NMR calculations. Further studies should direct more attention to anisotropic chemical shifts and development of the method of solid-state NMR calculations.

Chemical characterisation of active pharmaceutical compounds can be challenging, especially when these molecules exhibit tautomeric or desmotropic behaviour. The complexity can increase manyfold if these molecules are not susceptible to crystallisation. Solid-state NMR has been employed effectively for characterising such molecules. However, characterisation of a molecule is just a first step in identifying the differences in the crystalline structure. 1 H solid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (ssNMR) studies on these molecules at fast magic-angle-spinning frequencies can provide a wealth of information and may be used along with ab initio calculations to predict the crystal structure in the absence of X-ray crystallographic studies. In this work, we attempted to use solid-state NMR to measure 1 H - 1 H distances that can be used as restraints for crystal structure calculations. We performed studies on the desmotropic forms of albendazole.
