The limitations are of course determined a lot by the available computer resources.

On a normal modern PC you are probalby limited to clusters of 50 atoms, while on a large supercomputer with 512 cores for your job you can probably go up to much larger clusters.

The problem will anyway be the structure of such nanocluster, since any structure optimization will lead only to the next local minimum, but the global minimum might be very difficult to find unless you have some idea about the inital structure.

The NMR art itself is also mpi parallel, so when you can do the scf calculation, you probably can also do the NMR.

Dear all,

A colleague of mine who is doing experimental H-NMR measurements on
molecules grafted on gold nanoparticules asked me whether it is possible
or not to run NMR calculations. Since I have no experience at all on
this kind of calculation, I would like to know if someone could tell me
what is the limit in size of the models we can simulate and what
accuracy we can expect.

Thank you for your reply.
Best regards
Pascal
