With the employment of finite perturbation methods, a self-consistent perturbation theory is applied in the INDO molecular orbital approximation to the calculation of isotropic nuclear spin coupling between directly bonded carbon and hydrogen for a series of molecules. Including perturbations associated only with the Fermi contact mechanism, Jch values are calculated for a wide variety of compounds. Regarding hydrogen Is and carbon 2s atomic orbital densities at the nuclei as fixed parameters, good agreement with experimental trends is obtained for hydrocarbons and for molecules with—1+ substituents (-F,-OR,-NR2,—O, etc.), but not for molecules with-I-substituents (-CF3,-C (0) X,-N02,-CN, etc.). The correspondence between calculated and experimental results is improvedqualitatively when these densities are varied in accordance with a simple correction based on Slater’s rules. For those molecules for which the experimental trends are qualitatively reproduced, a sensitivity to substituent effects is predicted which is closerto the experimental results than what would be predicted by simple arguments based on carbon s character. ne of the most frequently studied classes of nuclear spin-spin coupling constants, and one which has appeared quitefrequently in qualitative theoretical arguments, is the directly bonded CH constant. Relatively straightforward experimental access via satellite experiments and intriguing early interpretations in terms of carbon hybridization generated a great deal of ex-perimental activity directed toward this nmr param-eter. 2-20 The early hybridization arguments were
