Description
Summary:This review focuses on a combination of ab initio molecular dynamics (aiMD) and NMR parameters calculations using quantum mechanical methods. The advantages of such an approach in comparison to the commonly applied computations for the structures optimized at 0 K are presented. This article was designed as a convenient overview of the applied parameters such as the aiMD type, DFT functional, time step, or total simulation time, as well as examples of previously studied systems. From the analysis of the published works describing the applications of such combinations, it was concluded that including fast, small-amplitude motions through aiMD has a noticeable effect on the accuracy of NMR parameters calculations.
