A novel statistical correlation method, MM-DP4+, was developed to enhance NMR-based molecular structure elucidation by significantly reducing computational costs through the use of MM-optimized geometries. A comprehensive evaluation of 36 theory levels identified SMD/ωB97XD/6-31+G**//MMFF as the most accurate and cost-effective approach, achieving 91% accuracy in stereochemical assignments. A Python-based software, DP4+App, was created to streamline the implementation of DP4+, MM-DP4+, and customizable DP4+ calculations via a user-friendly interface. This innovation aligns with green chemistry principles by minimizing resource-intensive experimental needs, reducing waste, energy consumption, and the use of hazardous materials, thereby contributing to sustainable scientific advancements.
