Resumen:
The reference value of NMR magnetic shieldings, sigma ref (X), of a nucleus X is of highest importance when theoretical analysis of chemical shifts are envisaged. For light atoms the absolute scale can be obtained using an old relationship among spin-rotation constants and magnetic shieldings, though for heavy-atom-containing molecules such nonrelativistic relationship is not valid any longer. Then, for such molecules the search for sigma ref needs new strategies to be followed. We present here new values of sigma ref (Si) and sigma ref (Ge) for tetramethyl silane and tetramethyl germanium that were obtained applying a simple procedure which mix accurate experimental chemical shifts and theoretically obtained magnetic shieldings in a set of selected molecular systems. We considered that in experiments one usually measures chemical shifts,(delta). We calculated sigma ref (Si) and sigma ref (Ge) from a set of seventeen and sixteen heavy-halogen-containing molecules, respectively. We found out that sigma ref [Si; Si(CH3)4] in gas phase should be close to 410.49 ± 6.77 ppm and sigma ref [Ge; Ge(CH3)4] should be close to 1705.29 ± 19.51 ppm. Such theoretical values were obtained by performing calculations within the relativistic polarization propagator method, RelPPA, at RPA level of approach. Based on those values of sigma ref , we recalculated the chemical shifts of the whole set of molecular systems obtaining a good reproduction of known experimental results. We also obtained a highly correlated relationship among the absolute values of the nuclear magnetic shieldings of Si and Ge atoms in halogen substitued tetrahedral compounds.
