=============================================================== Conformational search and DFT calculation data investigating effect of geometry quantity, quality and energy calculation method on structure elucidation performance K. Ermanis, K.E.B. Parkes, T. Agback and J. M. Goodman =============================================================== This dataset contains Macromodel conformational search input and output files, Gaussian DFT and GIAO calculation input and output files, as well as NMR description files for DP4 analysis. The data is organised in 17 separate archives. Each archive contains all the computational data for a certain molecular scaffold. So the Artemisinin.zip contains all of the conformational searches and DFT inputs and outputs run on this scaffold. For each compound there are sets with geometries optimised at MMFF, HF, PM6, PM7, B3LYP and M06-2X level. These are denoted with either no suffix for MMFF or with *h, *s, *pm7, *d or *m suffixes, respectively. For each geometry set, the energies and the NMR shifts were calculated with either B3LYP, mPW1PW91 or M06-2X. These are denoted with BF1, BF4 or BF7, respectively. For example, ArtemisininCDCl3_BF4d folder contains Artemisinin calculation data, where the geometries were optimised with B3LYP, and the energies and NMR shifts were calculated with mPW1PW91. Within each folder there are conformational search files and the Gaussian DFT files. All of the DFT input and output files contain 'ginp' in their filenames. The remaining files are the conformational search input and output files, and the NMR description files. NMR description files have *NMR suffix. All of the files can be opened in any text editor. The conformational search output structures can be visualised in Schrodinger Maestro. Gaussian output structures can be viewed in GausView, Avogadro, jmol and in most other molecular viewers/editors.
