PG - 1372-1379 LID - 10.1021/acs.jpca.8b09425 [doi] AB - Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a powerful tool for studying quantum information processing (QIP). Recently quantum technologies have been proposed to overcome the challenges in large-scale NMR QIP. Furthermore, computational chemistry can promote its improvement. Nuclear spins-(1)/(2) are natural qubits and have been used in most NMR quantum computation experiments. However, molecules that enable many qubits NMR QIP implementations should meet some requirements regarding their spectroscopic properties. Exceptionally large through-space (TS) P-P spin-spin coupling constants (SSCC or J) observed in 1,8-diphosphanaphthalenes (PPN) and in naphtho[1,8- cd]-1,2-dithiole phenylphosphines (NTP) were proposed and investigated to provide more accurate control within large-scale NMR QIP. Spectroscopic properties of PPN and NTP derivatives were explored by theoretical strategies using locally dense basis sets (LDBS). (31)P chemical shifts (delta) calculated at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ-J level and TS P-P SSCCs at the PBE1PBE/pcJ-2 (LDBS-1) level are very close to the experimental data for the PPN molecule. Differently, for the NTP dimer, PBE1PBE/pcJ-2 (LDBS-2) predicts more accurate (31)P delta, whereas PBE1PBE/Def2-TZVP (LDBS-1) forecasts more accurate TS P-P SSCCs. From our results, PPN(o)-F, PPN(o)-ethyl, and PPN(o)-NH(2) were the best candidates for NMR QIP, in which the large TS SSCCS could face the need of long-time quantum gates implementations. Therefore, it could overcome natural limitations concerning the development of large-scale NMR.
