Abstract
A theoretical analysis is given of the fluorine magnetic resonance shifts in molecules. It is shown that the large range of shifts among different fluorine compounds arises from the effects of binding on the magnetic fields at the nucleus produced by the orbital motion of the electrons in the unfilled valence shell. The simple dependence on ionic character of the bond is also explained. The chemical shift between F2 and HF is calculated to be 14×10—4 compared to the experimentally observed value 6.3×10—4.
