simpnmr is a Python package for analysing the solution NMR of paramagnetic metal complexes with computational chemistry.

Use it to:

  • predict pNMR spectra — both chemical shifts and paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) — from quantum-chemistry output (ORCA, Gaussian)

  • assist the assignment of experimental paramagnetic peaks

  • extract the full magnetic susceptibility tensor from experimental shifts

  • derive spin-Hamiltonian parameters for mononuclear complexes, from variable-temperature (VT) pNMR data
