TY - JOUR A1 - Kleinpeter, Erich A1 - Koch, Andreas T1 - Visualization of homoaromaticity in cations, neutral molecules and anions by spatial magnetic properties (through space NMR shieldings) - an 1H/13C NMR chemical shift study N2 - Prototypes for homoaromaticity in cations, neutral molecules, and anions are theoretically studied at the MP2 level of theory. For the global minimum structures on the potential energy surface both 1H/13C chemical shifts and spatial magnetic properties as through space NMR shieldings (TSNMRS) were calculated by the GIAO perturbation method. The TSNMRS are visualized as iso-chemical-shielding surfaces (ICSS) of different sign and size. Coincident experimental and computed 1H/13C chemical shifts afforded the possibility to decide from the TSNMRSs at hand on both the existence and the size of homoaromaticity in the molecules studied.
