Tm. Alam et M. Henry, Empirical calculations of Si-29 NMR chemical shielding tensors: A partial charge model investigation of hydrolysis in organically modified alkoxy silanes, PCCP PHYS C, 2(1), 2000, pp. 23-28
The Si-29 NMR chemical shifts for a series of organically modified silane c
ompounds, MexSi(OR)(y)(OH)(4-x-y) (OR = OMe, OEt), were evaluated using a p
artial charge model (PCM) approach to describe the chemical bonding. These
PCM results allow the relative contributions of the diamagnetic and paramag
netic terms in the Si-29 NMR chemical shielding constant to be discussed. A
n explanation for the unique variations in the Si-29 chemical shifts during
for hydrolyzed organically modified silanes is presented.
