Abstract

Methods developed previously for calculating the magnetic characteristics of molecules have been used to evaluate the19F chemical shifts in a number of perfluorinated cyclopolyenes, fluorobenzenes and fluoronaphthalenes. It is shown that the magnetic shielding of the19F nucleus is determined by the π-electron densities on the fluorine atoms, and that the contributions of the induced π-electron ring currents can be neglected. The calculated results are compared with experiment.
