25. The total NICS value at the center of an aromatic compound (and above) is a sum of paratropic contributions (mostly from C-C(σ) bonds) and diatropic contributions (notably C-C(π) bonds) (Table 1). The paratropic contributions fall off quickly above the ring plane compared to the diatropic values.

The shielding contributions of 1 and benzene are (signs not reversed) as follows: for 1 total 25.2; individual MO contributions C-H (24.6), rest of the C-H (-0.1), C-C(σ) (-2.6), C-C(π) (2.1), C-O (-0.5), Cr-C (1.2), and Core (0.5); for benzene: total 23.7; C-H (25.7), rest of the C-H (-0.2), C-C(σ) (-3.7), C-C(π) (2.2), and Core (-0.3).
