Computational liquid-phase and solid-state ²⁹Si NMR

This review focuses on the computational aspects of ²⁹Si NMR chemical shifts and spin – spin coupling constants involving the ²⁹Si nucleus. It concentrates on the electronic and stereochemical effects manifesting in these parameters, calculated at different levels of theory with a special emphasis on their practical applications. For ²⁹Si NMR chemical shifts, a good deal of interest is focused on the less common solid state studies, in addition to more popular liquid state data. For spin – spin coupling constants, the main interest is concentrated on the mostly common ²⁹Si – ¹H and ²⁹Si – ¹³C couplings. The review is written in memory of the Full Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor Mikhail G. Voronkov in view of his invaluable contribution to the field of organosilicon chemistry and ²⁹Si NMR.
