How to predict the frequency of NMR spectrum

I have a molecule and I'm barely accostumed to H-NMR and C-NMR
this has neither
it's trifluorophosphine
I have to predict the splitting, intensities and frequency
the first two I think I have some idea about
but I don't even know where to look on how I could calculate this
it seems like if you can calculate all this without an NMR, would that make these million dollar instruments a bit insignificant:rolleyes:
probably not

is this possible
where can I find info on it
there's nothing with it but the molecule and I am not sure if there is some kind of information I would need in order to find it
or is it just something I have to find from a a list of pre established values?

thanks
sorry for rambling

This would have to be ##^{31}##P-NMR. One could estimate the chemical shift and intensities by comparing to the NMR of similar molecules. Splittings can be found by considering spin-spin coupling.

But generally speaking, a relatively accurate prediction of a NMR spectrum can only be obtained by quantum chemistry calculations.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
