Chemical shifts in molecular solids by machine learning.

ABSTRACT: Due to their strong dependence on local atonic environments, NMR chemical shifts are among the most powerful tools for strucutre elucidation of powdered solids or amorphous materials. Unfortunately, using them for structure determination depends on the ability to calculate them, which  comes at the cost of high accuracy first-principles calculations. Machine learning has recently emerged as a way to overcome the need for quantum chemical calculations, but for chemical shifts in solids it is hindered by the chemical and combinatorial space spanned by molecular solids, the strong dependency of chemical shifts on their environment, and the lack of an experimental database of shifts. We propose a machine learning method based on local environments to accurately predict chemical shifts of molec
