Advances in Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships. 1999;JAI Press, Stanford, Conn, QSAR is very frequently used for modelling various biologically-based phenomena, like drug design, environmental studies, various branches of biochemistry, food chemistry etc; only in the last 5 years the term QSAR has been used 1426 times in the titles, abstracts or as key words in scientific papers [information retrieved from the Science Citation Database, October, 2000]. In many of these papers substituent constants are used as descriptors of substituent effects.

It is defined as a negative value of the absolute magnetic shielding computed at ring centres. Negative value of NICS denotes aromaticity, positive one - antiaromaticity.
