Abstract
AbstractWhen close to the molecular plane, the behavior of nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) as a function of the distance from the molecular plane deviates from its behavior at larger distances. By using a dense grid of NICS‐probes (BQs) it is shown that, when close to the molecular plane, maximal (absolute) NICS values are obtained above the atoms. These maxima move towards the center as the grid is elevated until the (absolute) maximum NICS is obtained at the center and stay there when the grid is further elevated. It is shown that this behavior is a result of the current density, which is influenced by the electron density, according to the Biot‐Savart law, which, in turn, causes the induced magnetic field measured by the NICS. It is thus concluded that if magnetic aromaticity is studied, the NICS calculations should be carried out at a large enough distance so that only the π‐ring current affects the NICS. At distances ≥2 Å, NICS(r)π,zz=A+B*Cr. Using non‐linear correlation for obtaining A, B and C and extrapolate to NICS(1)π,zz and NICS(1.7)π,zz is recommended as measures for aromaticity.
