✦ Synopsis
Computations for chemical shifts of molecular organic compounds using the gauge-including projector augmented wave method and the NMR-CASTEP code are reviewed. The methods are briefly introduced, and some general aspects involving the sources of uncertainty in the results are explored. The limitations are outlined. Successful applications of the computations to problems of interpretation of NMR results are discussed and the range of areas in which useful information is obtained is illustrated by examples. The particular value of the computations for comparing shifts between resonances where the same chemical site is involved is emphasised. Such cases arise for shifts between different crystallographically independent molecules of the same chemical species, between polymorphs and for shift anisotropies and asymmetries.

## Abstract The change in chemical shift with solute concentration (dilution effect) has been determined for a model compound—1‐iodonaphthalene—in cyclohexane and carbon tetrachloride. The data and assignments for this compound differ from those of previous work. A simple model is proposed to accou
