Rm. Dickson et T. Ziegler, NMR SPIN-SPIN COUPLING-CONSTANTS FROM DENSITY-FUNCTIONAL THEORY WITH SLATER-TYPE BASIS FUNCTIONS, Journal of physical chemistry, 100(13), 1996, pp. 5286-5290
A scheme for calculating nuclear magnetic resonance spin-spin coupling
constants has been implemented in the Amsterdam density functional pr
ogram system. The applicability of the frozen-core approximation is di
scussed, and an orbital analysis shows that the core orbitals of one o
f the nuclei can be significant. Results calculated with a modest Slat
er-type (exponential) basis set are presented. It is shown that calcul
ations of couplings to transition-metal nuclei are feasible.
