A 13C chemical shifts study of iodopyrazoles: experimental results and relativistic and non-relativistic calculations

This work reports the 13C chemical shifts of 49 iodopyrazoles and the 15N chemical shifts of 6 iodopyrazoles, most of them from the literature but a number of significant cases from the present work. Most experimental data were from solution studies but some of them correspond to the solid state (CPMAS). The calculations include non-relativistic calculations (nr-GIAO) and relativistic ones (ZORA, mDKS/B3LYP/VDZ and mDKS/B3LYP/VTZ). In the case of NH-pyrazoles, problems of tautomerism and desmotropy arise that have been also studied. The manuscript is dedicated to develop some equations containing corrections for heavy atoms to predict 13C and 15N chemical shifts.
