Quantum-Chemical Calculation of <sup>29</sup>Si NMR Spectrum of Silicon Dioxide Fullerene-Like Molecules
Abstract
29Si NMR spectra of fullerene-like hollow oligomers of silicic acid were calculated by the density functional theory method using hybrid exchange-correlation functional B3LYP, 6-311+G(2d, p) basis set and GIAO procedure. It is shown that fullerene-like molecule (SiO2)20(H2O)10 gives an intensive signal in the range from –102 to –105 ppm.References
