Example: NMR Nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS): PF3¶

#!/bin/sh


# The NMR program enables the calculation of so-called nucleus-independent
# chemical shifts (NICS). More details are available in the Properties Programs
# User's Guide.

# In the ADF run, the ElectrostaticEmbedding key is used to define points charges with zero
# charge. The GHOSTS key in the nmr program then basically copies this block.
# For the interpretation of the results we refer to the literature.
