The shift of compound 1 (δRh = 7301 ppm) served as a reference.
Geometry optimization is as follows: B3LYP-D3/def2-TZVPP, CPCM (MeCN)). NMR shifts are as follows: GIAO-ZORA-TPSSh/decontracted SARC-ZORA-TZVPP (Rh), def2-TZVPP (other nuclei), CPCM(MeCN); q is the Löwdin atomic charges at Rh; and ΔE is the HOMO – LUMO gap.
