Deviations among Δ values for identical systems are due to the use of different increment schemes to estimate χM′ and different methods (e.g. IGLO or CSGT) for the susceptibility χ computations.

66. The different NICS positions in planar and nonplanar molecules give rise to NICS values, which are not comparable directly.
67. NICS is based on computed absolute magnetic shieldings with the signs reversed to conform to the experimental NMR conventions: Schleyer, P. v. R.; Maerker, C.; Dransfeld, A.; Jiao, H.; Hommes, N. J. R. v. E. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 6317.
