Abstract

The calculation of DFT (density functional theory) chemical shifts have become an important technique for the verification of a proposed structure. An easily calculated metric developed for proton and carbon chemical shifts of natural products and organic compounds, the calculated chemical shift index (CCSI), has been developed, which uses the deviation of each pair of calculated and experimental chemical shifts. The mean absolute deviation (MAD), which is commonly used as the goodness of fit metric for DFT calculated chemical shifts, can conceal large deviations in the calculated data. A classification strategy is also proposed for the CCSI to highlight when further assessment of the NMR data is required.
