MBOHO calculations of phosphorus-carbon nuclear spin-spin coupling constants

Summary The novel generalized correlation of the nuclear spin-spin coupling constants with the atomic hybrids and net charges is employed to give a new relationship for calculating the directly bonded phosphorus-carbon coupling constants by use of the maximum bond order hybrid orbital procedure together with the extended Hückel molecular orbital calculation. The calculated coupling constants of phosphorus-carbon are all in good agreement with the experimental data, which shows that the new relationship obtained in the present paper is quite satisfactory for calculation of the phosphorus-carbon coupling constants.The project was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Excellent University Teacher's Foundation of State Education Commission of China
