Prediction of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra

Version 15.1.12.0

Fast and accurate prediction of ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra from the molecular structure plays an important role in structure validation and elucidation of molecules. The NMR predictor application is able to predict NMR spectra for standard organic molecules containing the most frequent atoms (H, C, N, O, F, Cl, Br, I, P, S, Si, Se, B, Sn, Ge, Te, As).
Chemical shifts are estimated by a mixed HOSE and linear model based on a topological description scheme and are in relation to the chemical shift of tetramethylsilane (δ(TMS)=0 ppm). ¹³C and ¹H chemical shift training data were retrieved from the NMRShift Database. Read more about NMR chemical shift model description.

Basic features

Prediction of ¹³C and ¹H NMR chemical shifts;
Spin-spin couplings are taken into account according to the first order approximation;
H-H, H-F and C-F couplings are considered during NMR spectrum calculation;
Diastereotopic protons are differentiated;
NMR Spectrum Viewer is able to display NMR spectra in JCAMP-DX format.

The NMR Predictor graphical user interface incorporates the following features:

Export predicted spectrum to molfile;
Export predicted spectrum to JCAMP-DX file and/or import JCAMP-DX (*.jdx) reference spectrum;
Create PDF file as report of your prediction, containing molecule structure, predicted spectrum, and related tables;
Detached Copy to clipboard action for all predictor panels and tables is available;
Update molecule from MarvinSketch;
Toggle between decoupled and coupled NMR spectrum;
Toggle between explicit and implicit hydrogen display;
Select NMR prediction frequency from a predetermined list;
Add common organic solvent peaks to predicted spectrum;
Add tautomer peaks to predicted spectrum;
Restore default NMR predictor settings, e.g., prediction frequency, display, and view options;
Display realistic or line NMR spectra;
Add atom indices or chemical shift values to signals as spectrum labels;
Display spectrum scale in ppm or Hz units;
Show integral curve to assign value to NMR spectrum signals;
Display legend on spectrum display panel.
Show local maximum values of reference spectrum;
Personalize the color management of NMR Predictor;
Set chart color uniquely;
When you click on a peak on spectrum display panel or on an atom on molecule preview panel, selection will move to and zoom in on the selected signal;
Choose multiplet selection mode: individual selection in case of overlapping multiplets is available;
Use various modes of zoom in on spectrum.
Find spectrum and molecule structure related information in Atom, Multiplet, and Coupling tables.
Show atom indices on molecule structure corresponding to the different multiplets;

Atoms of the input molecule and multiplets of the NMR spectrum are linked together: upon selection of an atom the corresponding multiplet is highlighted and vice versa.
A single NMR prediction is allowed to contain more molecules.

NMR predictor is integrated into MarvinSketch's Calculations menu, and contains the following three components to discover NMR spectra of molecules:

NMR Prediction is accessible via cxcalc as well (cxcalc nmr -h).
