The elecnic shielding 01 a nucleus in a molecule can be expressed m Iemu of Ihe gradlent of the molecular warefunctlon. This gradienl can be cvalua1cd analylically via perturbalion theory. introducing the Hamikoman in the acceleraCon gauge.
Consider a neutral molecule with n electrons and N nuclei, with coordinates r,, RI respectively. The polar tensor of atom1

The change in the electric field at a nucleus in a molecule due to bond stretch is related to the force constant of the stretched bond. The validity of this relationship using approximate wave functions at the SCF and MP2 levels of theory is tested for the diatomic molecules H , HF, CO, and N . The
## Recent experiments by Bergeman and tire led to a dipole moment of l&l = 1 .lO k 0.03 D for the v = 3 vibrational level of the A\* C' stzte of NO, whereas conflgxation interaction (CI) stud& by Green led to p = 0.39 D (N+O-), a serious discrepancy. We report herein ab initjo generalized valence
