The comparison of adiabatic ionization potentials of normal and branched alkanes with carbon net charges indicates a lowering of the i.p.'s with increasing electron population of the electron-richest pair of bonded C—C atoms in the molecules. In terms of "inductive charges", it is found that n = −4.4083, i.e., precisely the same ordering of charges previously determined from l3C n.m.r. shifts. The relative C charges can thus be calculated from 13C chemical shifts and used in the equation [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] one half the sum of charge on the pair of electron-richest bonded C atoms, to give i.p.'s with a standard error of 0.044 eV. The relevance of these charges with respect to carbon 1s binding energies is discussed.

The analysis of ab initio charge distributions in cyclohexane and selected methylcyclohexanes indicates that no effect other than that described by the relationship δC = −237.1 qC + 242.64 between C-13 chemical shifts and C net charges (as determined for the alkanes) contributes to any significant extent to the shielding of the carbon atoms. This is no longer true for cyclopropane.

The involvement of excited configurations in Mulliken charge analyses is examined for ethylene and acetylene, using an optimized 4-31G basis. The net charges of carbon, −346.4 × 10−3 (C2H4) and −335.3 × 10−3 e (C2H2) at the SCF level, are reduced to −269.9 × 10−3 and −271.2 × 10−3 e, respectively. Double excitations appear to contribute little to these corrections. In acetylene, three single σ → σ* type excitations are responsible for ~83% of the charge correction whereas, as expected, the role of π → π* type excitations is small. Similarly, four σ → σ* configurations account for ~76% of the correction in ethylene. These effects are particularly important in comparisons with alkanes, whose charges are relatively little affected by CI corrections. Theoretical charges obtained from CI calculations appear to converge toward their empirical counterparts in a generalization of Mulliken's scheme, which allows for an uneven partitioning of CH overlap populations. Keywords: charge density, configuration interaction.

The fluorine and proton chemical shifts in some geminally disubstituted vinylidene fluorides and ethylenes are discussed. For these compounds, at least, there are difficulties with an interpretation based on intramolecular time-dependent electric fields. On the other hand, the shifts correlate with the inverse ionization potentials of the substituents, indicating a paramagnetic effect arising from the second term in Ramsey's expression. It is suggested that the effect operates via the bonds and not across space. Methyl proton shifts in a series of substituted methyl compounds of group IV, V, and VI elements show similar correlations. A practical application of the correlation to spectral analysis problems is given.
