We are pleased to announce the publication defining the machine learning model termed “Corrected MMFF”
in the current Spartan’24 release, available from the:
Journal of Computational Chemistry, 2025, 46(1), e70016. Publication Date: January 5, 2025.

Spartan’s empirical corrections improve accuracy of DFT C shifts to within ≈2 ppm for rigid molecules. The multi-step NMR Spectrum protocol, providing C shifts within ≈3.5 - 4 ppm for conformationally flexible molecules is defined and assessed. Journal of Natural Products, 2019, 82, 8, 2299-2306.
Featured Article:
Isolated cyclic peptides were identified with support from calculated structure and NMR data. Density functional results established the substitution pattern in an ambiguous aromatic ring moiety (with corroboration from related molecule from the same culture). Journal of Natural Products, 2026,89, 4, 1344-1354.
