Popis: | This article presents ab initio calculations of electric field gradient (EFG) parameters as a tool for the structural characterization of paramagnetic crystalline compounds. Previously reported ²³Na NMR parameters of vanadium + IV containing vanado-phosphate compounds were computed within density functional theory using both cluster and fully periodic approaches. Quadrupolar parameter values measured by ²³Na NMR experiments were reproduced with a level of accuracy comparable to that achievable in diamagnetic compounds and allowed the assignment of observed ²³Na NMR signals. This work demonstrates the utility of the periodic planewave pseudopotential + PAW approach for the calculation of EFG parameters in paramagnetic compounds. |
