Stereoelectronic contributions to long-range 1H-1H coupling constants

The contribution of stereoelectronic interactions to NMR coupling constants 3JHH and 4JHH has been examined using ab initio calculations and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis on four model compounds: ethane, propane, propene, and methylcyclopropane. The main stereoelectronic contributions to the c...
