N2 - This chapter presents a concise overview of the quantum-chemical approaches that can be used in order to obtain theoretical estimates of NMR shielding tensors and associated quantities, such as isotropic shieldings, chemical shifts, and shielding anisotropies. The chapter starts with a brief outline of the main equations that define the shielding tensor in terms of the electronic Hamiltonian for a molecule in a uniform magnetic field and the corresponding wavefunction, and of the gauge-origin problem which needs to be addressed in most finite-basis calculations. This is followed by a discussion of the most important factors that influence the computed NMR shielding tensors, and have to be accounted for in accurate calculations, including electron correlation effects, relativistic effects, ro-vibrational corrections, and solvent effects. Special attention is given to the calculation of NMR shielding tensors for large molecules, as well as to the availability of quantum-chemical codes capable of performing shielding calculations at different levels of theory.
