Cg. Zhan et al., A STUDY OF THE CORRELATIVITY BETWEEN THE AB-INITIO MAXIMUM BOND ORDERHYBRID ORBITAL CALCULATION RESULTS AND THE NUCLEAR SPIN-SPIN COUPLING-CONSTANTS, Journal of molecular structure. Theochem, 337(1), 1995, pp. 67-76
The ab initio maximum bond order hybrid orbital (MBOHO) procedure has
been performed with an STO-3G basis set in order to study the correlat
ivity between the ab initio MBOHO calculation results and the nuclear
spin-spin coupling constants. The generalized relationship which invol
ves the contributions of not only the hybrid orbitals, but also the ne
t atomic charges has been applied with the calculated s-character of t
he MBOHOs including only the valence atomic orbitals and the net atomi
c charges to obtain concrete relationships for calculation of the nucl
ear spin-spin coupling constants of various C-H, C-C, C-N and C-F bond
s. The coupling constants evaluated by use of these concrete relations
hips are in good agreement with the experimental data, which shows tha
t the ab initio MBOHO procedure and the generalized relationship inclu
ding also the net atomic charges are feasible for elucidating the nucl
ear spin-spin coupling constants between the directly bonded atoms.
