Abstract
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.
