EFGShield, ver. 4.0 - new version with GUI now available for Gaussian, CASTEP, and ADF files

Dear colleague,

“EFGShield” is our software for the parsing and analysis of shielding and EFG data from Gaussian output files. Thanks to the work of my students Nuiok Dicaire and Fred Perras, I am pleased to announce that a new and improved version of EFGShield with a GUI is now available. There are many advantages to the new version which are summarized in the attached pdf. Most importantly, CASTEP and ADF output files can now be used in addition to Gaussian files.

Instructions are also provided in the attached pdf.

I encourage you to download the new version and hope you find it useful. Please go to my website and click on the “Software” link in the menu on the left.

Peng He, Jun Xu, Victor V. Terskikh, Andre Sutrisno, Heng-Yong Nie, and Yining Huang, "Identification of Non-equivalent Framework Oxygen Species in Metal-organic Frameworks by 17O Solid-state NMR," Journal of Physical Chemistry C 117 (2013) 16953–16960. (Cover Article) http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jp403512m

17O solid-state NMR spectra provide signatures of various oxygen species in metal-organic frameworks. We successfully prepared several prototypical 17O -enriched metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Due to the diversity of MOF-based materials, different types of MOFs require different isotopic enrichment methods to effectively incorporate 17O from 17O-enriched H2O. Several synthetic strategies for 17O-enrichment were discussed. Using these 17O-enriched MOFs, we were able to acquire 17O solid-state NMR spectra at a magnetic field of 21.1 T. They provide distinct spectral signatures of various key oxygen species commonly existing in representative MOFs.

This cover article features results obtained using the 21.1 T solid-state NMR spectrometer at the National Ultrahigh-Field NMR Facility for Solids (Ottawa, ON). If you are interested in using this spectrometer in your research please contact the Facility Manager http://nmr900.ca
