Abstract
Molecular orbital calculations of coupling constants based on finite perturbation theory in the CNDO/2 and INDO approximations have been carried out for styrene, benzaldehyde, and naphthalene. INDO calculations have also been carried out in which one-center exchange integrals involved in σ–π interaction are omitted (INDO(σ) calculations). Both CNDO and INDO(σ) constants give reasonable estimates of σ contributions to long-range 1H–1H couplings, with the former giving better results when strongly stereospecific σ contributions are present. INDO calculations also give reasonable, but generally overestimated, π contributions to these couplings.
