Calculating 13C and 1H spectra without 13C-1H coupling #36

Closed andysardjan closed 1 year ago

andysardjan commented 1 year ago

Hey all, Very impressed with CENSO! One thing however, I would like to calculate 1H spectra and (uncoupled) 13C spectra seperately. Now I have my C13-coupled 1H spectra (which is quite exotic!). In orca I would just do this by excluding carbon from the coupling calculation. What is your recommendation? Is there a setting for ANMR to exclude the carbon couplings? Or should I dig around my .json files to set the coupling to 0?

Hi,

Now I have my C13-coupled 1H spectra (which is quite exotic!)

I agree having all carbon nuclei and all hydrogen nuclei as nmr active elements in a molecule is kind of strange. You can have a look at the documentation. There you can see that you can switch nmr active elements on and off for ANMR. This is done in the .anmrrc file. Perform one ANMR calculation only for the 1H spectrum:

1  31.786    0.0    1
6  189.674   0.0   0
9  182.57    0.0    0
15 291.9     0.0    0

and once only the 13C spectrum:

1  31.786    0.0    0
6  189.674   0.0   1
9  182.57    0.0    0
15 291.9     0.0    0

So you have to run ANMR twice on the data produced by your CENSO calculation and get then two spectra.

Best,

Fabian

Ah thanks a lot! this works!
