Ab initio calculations have been performed to obtain structures and coupling constants (1)J(N-H), (1h)J(H-N), and (2h)J(N-N) for models of proton sponges with symmetric and asymmetric N-H(+)-N intramolecular hydrogen bonds (IMHBs). For a given model, the asymmetric structure has a lower energy, a longer N-N distance, and a hydrogen bond which has a greater deviation from linearity. The computed values of (2h)J(N-N) for the models are significantly less than predicted values based on the distance dependence of (2h)J(N-N) for complexes with intermolecular N-H(+)-N hydrogen bonds. However, the reduced values of (2h)J(N-N) cannot be attributed solely to the distortion of the hydrogen bond in the models, but also reflect differences in s electron populations at the nitrogens in both the ground state and the excited states which couple to it through the Fermi-contact (FC) operator. Values of (2h)J(N-N) for IMHBs can be related quadratically to the N-N distances in the models, and demonstrate that there is no discrepancy between computed values of (2h)J(N-N) at the short N-N distances found in these systems and experimental data for proton sponges
