A benchmark for structural interpretation of the P-31 NMR shift and the (2)J(P),(C) NMR spin-spin coupling in the phosphate group was obtained by means of theoretical calculations and NMR measurements in diethylphosphate (DEP) and 5,5-dimethyl-2-hydroxy-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinane 2-oxide (cDEP). The NMR parameters were calculated employing the B3LYP, BP86, BPW91, M06-2X, PBE0, KT2, KT3, MP2, and HF methods, and the 6-31+G(d), Iglo-n (n = II, III), cc-pVnZ (n = D, T, Q, 5), aug-cc-pVnZ (n = D, T and Q), and pcS-n and pcJ-n (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) bases, including the solvent effects described with explicit water molecules and/or the implicit Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM). The effect of molecular dynamics (MD) on NMR parameters was MD-calculated using the GAFF force field inclusive of explicit hydration with TIP3P water molecules. Both the optimal geometries and the dynamic behaviors of the DEP and cDEP phosphates differed notably, which allowed a reliable theoretical benchmark of the P-31 NMR parameters for highly flexible and structurally constrained phosphate in a one-to-one relationship with the corresponding experiment. The calculated P-31 NMR shifts were referenced employing three different NMR reference schemes to highlight the effect of the P-31 NMR reference on the accuracy of the calculated P-31 NMR shift. The relative Dd(P-31) NMR shift calculated employing the MD/B3LYP/Iglo-III/PCM method differed from the experiment by 0.16 ppm while the NMR shifts referenced to H3PO4 and/or PH3 deviated from the experiment notably more, which illustrated the superior applicability of the relative NMR reference scheme. The (2)J(P,C) coupling in DEP and cDEP calculated employing theMD/B3LYP/Iglo-III(DSO,PSO,SD)/cc-PV5Z(FC)/PCM method inclusive of correction due to explicit hydration differed from the experiment by 0.32 Hz and 0.15 Hz, respectively. The NMR calculations demonstrated that reliable structural interpretation of the P-31 NMR parameters in phosphate must involve both the structural and the dynamical components.
