Abstract
The gauge-origin independent expression for the relativistic nuclear magnetic shieldings was derived from the Douglas-Kroll transformation of the no-pair equation and the use of the gauge including atomic orbitals (GIAOs) proposed by London. Using our expression the relativistic spin free effect on the nuclear magnetic shieldings was evaluated for the four hydrogen halide molecules, HF, HCl, HBr, and HI, at the coupled Hartree-Fock (CHF) level with uncontracted Cartesian Gaussian-type basis sets. It was found that the GIAO-CHF results are very similar to the shielding values calculated with the fixed gauge origins at the halogen nuclei. The calculated results showed that the spin independent relativistic effect produces high-field shifts at both the halogen nuclei and protons in the hydrogen halides. However, the computed spin free effect was too small to interpret the very large upshield proton shifts observed in HBr and HI molecules.
