The calculated NMR spectra revealed the importance of including the anion and the solvent (CD2Cl2) in order to calculate spectra which were in good agreement with the experimental data. Specifically, two organic solvent molecules were required to coordinate to the two hydrogens of the bound OH2 in order to achieve such agreement. Further elaboration of the role of the solvent led to Bader's QTAIM and natural bond order calculations. The zirconocene complex [Cp2ZrMe(OH2)](+) was simulated for comparison. date: 2014-08-07 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c4dt00310a oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_source: PubMed elements_id: 971895 doi: 10.1039/c4dt00310a lyricists_name: Saßmannshausen, Jorg lyricists_id: JSASS20 full_text_status: public publication: Dalton Transactions volume: 43 number: 29 pagerange: 11195 - 11201 event_location: England issn: 1477-9226 citation: Saßmannshausen, Jörg; (2014) Computational studies of the unusual water adduct [Cp2TiMe(OH2)](+): the roles of the solvent and the counterion.
