Example: NBO analysis: NMR chemical shift

Download CH4_nmrnbo.run

Example shows an NBO analysis of an NMR shielding calculation for CH4 .

Some keywords are necessary because of the NBO analysis afterwards. A higher integration accuracy in the core region is used (subkey ACCSPH of the key INTEGRATION). First the scalar relativistic calculation is performed and the scalar relativistic localized orbitals are made. Next the spin-orbit coupled ADF calculation is done, and a calculation of NMR shielding constants is performed with an analysis in scalar relativistic localized orbitals.
