The coupling constants were obtained with the use of the packet of programs TURBOMOLE (version 5.6) (University Karlsruhe: Karlsruhe, Germany, 2003). The structures were optimized with the theoretical function at the DFT level using the pure B-P functional [DFT-(B-P)] and the basis set TZVP (triple-valence-polarized).
