P. Diehl et R. Seydoux, SOLVENT EFFECTS ON SHIFTS IN ANISOTROPIC MEDIA AND CONSEQUENCES FOR THE DETERMINATION OF SHIFT ANISOTROPIES, Journal of magnetic resonance. Series A, 108(2), 1994, pp. 215-218
A relation for solvent anisotropy shifts, delta(a), which is valid in
oriented as well as nonoriented systems is derived and confirmed by ex
periment. For oriented solutes, the dominant contribution is found to
stem from the solvent isotropic susceptibility but not its anisotropy.
The errors induced by neglecting delta(a) in a determination of chemi
cal-shift anisotropies using oriented molecules are predicted for vari
ous nuclei. (C) 1994 Academic Press, Inc.
