Abstract: | Aromatic-solvent-induced 11B NMR shifts (11B ASIS effects), observed for closo-2, 4-C2B5H7 and its 5-chloro and 5, 6-dichloro derivatives, are correlated to ab initio STO-3G derived atom charge densities. A near linear relationship is found upon incorporating nearestneighbor charge density contributions. |
