ACD/NMR Predictors

Full List of Features

Prediction Features

  • Calculate and display accurate chemical shifts and coupling constants
  • HOSE code and Neural Net prediction algorithms
  • Display the Calculation Protocol Window, enabling you to see the fragments contributing to each calculated shift
  • Interactively highlight the relationship between a tabular value and its associated numbered nuclear center

  • Recognize tautomeric forms before prediction

Specific to 1H and 13C Predictors Only

Prediction Features

  • Contains a History Window that displays all of the structures used for spectral calculations during the current program session. This window allows you to load (or save) all of the structures to (or from) a file on a disk, print them, and then import a new list of up to 99 structures from an SDfile.
  • Perform solvent-specific prediction—choose from a list of solvents to include in the prediction dataset
  • Set the desired frequency for predicted spectra
  • Set the desired line widths for predicted spectra
  • Save predicted spectra and chemical structures for later review
  • View predicted spectra in Hz or ppm units
  • Utilize fully interactive zooming features to focus on various spectral regions of predicted spectra
  • Hide chemical structures so that produced spectra can be used as a teaching tool
