The potential of NMR spin–spin coupling constants as probes to study fine details of electronic molecular structures is briefly discussed in this work through two different examples. A qualitative analysis of the polarization propagator expression for the Fermi contact term is applied for predicting factors affecting 1 J CH , and comments are made about how to generalize those results to different types of one‐bond spin‐spin couplings. Moreover, the Natural J Coupling method is applied to get insight into electronic factors defining a Karplus relationship of type 3 J HH (180°) < 3 J HH (0°) known in the literature for some amino acids. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
