Abstract
This review aims to highlight significant progress in the calculation of $^{77}$Se NMR chemical shifts and spin--spin coupling constants involving selenium substantiated with a vast amount of experimental data. The material is arranged in two basic sections: the first one dealing with the calculation of $^{77}$Se NMR chemical shifts and the second one dealing with the computation of spin--spin coupling constants involving $^{77}$Se nucleus, namely $^{77}$Se--$^1$H, $^{77}$Se--$^{13}$C and $^{77}$Se--$^{77}$Se together with some more exotic types of couplings, $^{77}$Se--$^{15}$N, $^{77}$Se--$^{19}$F, $^{77}$Se--$^{29}$Si and $^{77}$Se--$^{31}$P. A special attention is focused on the stereoelectronic effects involving selenium atom and their manifestation in the $^{77}$Se NMR spectra of organoselenium compounds studied with the aid of the modern calculation of $^{77}$Se NMR parametres in combination with experimental results.
The bibliography includes 114 references.
