VIBRATIONAL CORRECTIONS IN NMR-SPECTRA OF ORIENTED MOLECULES

Nuclear magnetic resonance of oriented molecules provides a convenient and precise technique for determination of molecular geometry. The precision is often high enough for the effect of the vibrational motions to be felt. In this paper the vibrational corrections are discussed in detail, and a novel formulation is presented which, apart from its simplicity, provides distinct advantages in numerical calculations. Although this formulation has not been published so far, a computer program based on it has been used extensively and with excellent results by the authors and their collaborators for several years. © 1979.
