The generalized energy-based fragmentation (GEBF) approach is extended to facilitate ab initio investigations of structures, lattice energies, vibrational spectra and 1 H NMR chemical shifts of ionic crystals and condensed-phase ionic liquids (ILs) with the periodic boundary conditions (PBC). For selected periodic systems, our results demonstrate that the so-called PBC-GEBF approach can provide satisfactory descriptions on ground-state energies, structures, and vibrational spectra of ionic crystals and IL crystals. The PBC-GEBF approach is then applied to three realistic condensed phase systems. For three ionic crystals (LiCl, NaCl, and KCl), we apply the PBC-GEBF approach with MP2 theory as well as some popular DFT methods to investigate their crystal structures and lattice energies. Our calculations indicate that the crystal structures obtained with PBC-GEBF-MP2/6-311 + G** are very close to the corresponding X-ray structures, while PBC-GEBF-ωB97X-D/6-311 + G** provides satisfactory prediction for crystal structures and lattice energies. For two polymorphs of [n-C4 mim][Cl] crystals, we find that the PBC-GEBF approach at the M06-2X/6-311 + G** level can give a satisfactory descriptions on structures and Raman spectra of these two crystals. Furthermore, for [C2 mim][BF4 ] ILs, we demonstrate that their 1 H NMR chemical shifts can be estimated from averaging over 5 typical snapshots (extracted from MD simulations) with the PBC-GEBF approach at the B97-2/pcSseg-2 level. The calculated results account for the observed experimental data quite well. Therefore, we expect that the PBC-GEBF approach, combined with various quantum chemistry methods, will become an effective tool in predicting structures and properties of ionic crystals and condensed-phase ILs
