Summary
The CHARGE2 program for the calculation of partial atomic charges has been amended to include bond parameters for a number of organic functional groups, including halogens, nitrogen and oxygen. These minor amendments to the original scheme produce dipole moments for the fluoro and chloro compounds which are in complete agreement with the observed values.
The less complete data sets for the bromo and iodo compounds are also well reproduced, and the dipole moments of a variety of mixed halo compounds are now in better agreement with experiment than previously.
The calculated dipole moments of the saturated nitrogen and oxygen compounds are now in much better agreement than in the original scheme, thus the revised parameterisation may be employed with confidence to predict the electrostatic energies of these compounds.
Furthermore, the revised scheme now gives a precise proportionality between the charge on the proton in a CH group and the 1H chemical shift of the corresponding proton, allowing the general prediction, in principle, of 1H chemical shifts. In addition, attempts to include variable electronegativity in the α effect are described for fluoro compounds.
