29. (a) The nucleus independent chemical shift (NICS) is defined as the negative of the absolute magnetié shielding computed, for example, at the geometrical center or other points of a ring (cage) molecule. Aromatic (diatropic) compounds have significant negative NICS, while antiaromatic molecules (paratropic) are characterized by positive NICS values. Schleyer, P. v.
