| Abstract | |
Quadrupolar NMR spin relaxation rates and corresponding line widths were computed for the quadrupolar nucleus N-14 for neat acetonitrile as well as for 1-methyl-1,3-imidazole and 1-methyl-1,3,4-triazole in different solvents. Molecular dynamics (MD) was performed with forces from the Kohn-Sham (KS) theory (ab initio MD) and force-field molecular mechanics (classical MD), followed by KS electric field gradient (EFG) calculations. For acetonitrile the agreement of the N-14 line width with experiment is very good. Relative line widths for the azole nitrogens are improved over simpler approximations used previously in conjunction with single-point calculations at the multiconfigurational self-consistent field level. Overall, the NMR line widths are computed within a factor of 2 of the experimental values, giving access to reasonable estimates both of the dynamic EFG variance in the solvated systems as well as the associated correlation times that determine the relaxation rates.
