K. Jackowski et al., GIAO-CHF AND EXPERIMENTAL-STUDY OF THE SUBSTITUENT EFFECTS ON C-13 MAGNETIC SHIELDING IN BENZENE-DERIVATIVES, Polish Journal of Chemistry, 72(7), 1998, pp. 1624-1629
Ab initio calculations of the C-13 Shielding constants were performed
with the use of the GIAO-CHF method for the benzene molecule and its 1
4 monosubstituted derivatives. The theoretical substituent effects wer
e compared with our experimental data which were measured in cyclohexa
ne solutions and extrapolated to infinite dilution. Satisfactory corre
lations between theoretical and experimental results were observed for
all the aromatic carbons except those in the meta position.
