NMR chemical shift prediction of benzenes

The chemical shifts of benzenes can be estimated using substituent chemical shifts (SCS) for the ipso, ortho, meta and para substituents.
The SCS values used for the calculations are taken from [1,2]. Both papers contain a much finer division of functional groups, e.g. different SCS values are given for conjugated and non-conjugated compounds. However, an exhaustive list would become unmanageable so only a subset is used here. In most cases the loss of accuracy is not great.
Since values for the 1H increments of isonitriles, azides, sulfoxides and sulfones were not given in [1] they were estimated using published NMR data.
