Table 2. DFT- and CCSD-calculated through-space J-couplings (Hz) and FC contributions to the total J-coupling in the smallest models of compound (–)-(M,R,R)-3 (depicted in Fig. 3). All calculations were performed with the IGLO-III basis set.

| TSC 1–1′ | DFT(B3LYP) | 0.66 | 0.68 | 0.61 |
| FC 1–1′ | DFT(B3LYP) | 0.61 | 0.68 | |
| FC 1–1′ | DFT(PP86) | 0.51 | 0.54 | |
| FC 1–1′ | CCSD | 0.46 | 0.50 |
