37. Note that the computation of GIAO-DFT chemical shifts is not yet implemented in the Gaussian 94 program suite. However, NICS are not likely to be very sensitive to electron correlation effects. Since only relative NICS are compared in the present paper, the qualitative results should not change even when electron correlation is included. Note also that NICS are not very basis set dependent either, as shown in ref. 2.
